Perry Kitchen reaping the rewards of facing challenges outside comfort zone

KEY BISCAYNE, Fla. -- Like most Americans living abroad for the first time, it didn't take long for Perry Kitchen to get his first dose of culture shock.

Living in Edinburgh, Scotland, it was the challenge of driving on the other side of the road that bit him. Or in his case, parking.

"I popped a tire trying to parallel park the first week," Kitchen said with an amused look on his face. "You've got that space now on the other side, so it's something to get used to."

Fans stateside will be relieved to know that the incident didn't involve the Lamborghini he won last year in a contest run by an MLS sponsor.
