The End of an Era

[scarlettina]

It's finally happening: My brother is selling the sexiest damn car on the entire planet. I admit I'm a little heartbroken; it's so cool and he's had it for so long -- and I've never gotten to ride in it! On the other hand, it's a wonderful sign of the times. He used to say that he didn't have a wife or kids, so he spent his time and money on this. That all, of course, changed last year. I'd take my sister-in-law and niece over the car any day of the week, but I'll miss the glamor and magic of this amazing vehicle.



In case you missed it, you can read the New York Times article about it and/or watch the New York Times audio slide show, which features him talking about the car.

PS--Turns out this is what he's buying when he gets the money. My faith in him as a stylish gearhead is restored. :-)

Alright, I'll give you the bike - nice piece of work :> But one has to wonder how it is you never got to ride in the Sterling?

That's what I was wondering, too! Any chance of a flying visit to New York so you can go for a ride before it's too late? Fares on Virgin America are pretty good right now!

Steve acquired the car long after I moved to Seattle. Most times when I was back east either there wasn't time or it was the wrong weather to take the car out in. It just . . . never happened. Believe me, if there had been time and a way, I totally would have made him take me out.
