I had kind of the same experience. Went to a car dealer with my daughter and my shorts and flip flop on and the salesman didn't grace me even with a look of attention. He was too busy with an apparently older and more acquainted customer. After 15 minutes of not even "Hello sir, I'll be right at you" I left the dealership, went to another, bought a 65K car and was sure to let the initial seller know what the result of their salesmanship was. Roughly a year later they were out of business.

My dad built a box of plywood around the car and made me climb in with a sandblaster and I did a great job. I got stuff in my eyes and it sucked lol. But it was my neighbors car and that's how I earned my 1st car and it was cool to help make his car restored. It took a few years like 7 but in the end it was like a new car. Jack you owe me a ride at least lol. He was the best neighbor ever. It moved away but still have very fond memories of what we created in our backyards.

One of the very last great Jazz musicians of the true beginning of modern jazz (after Miles, Chick and Al, Lyle and others passed by). Now you made the bridge between sportscars and Jazz - really something!! Also with the short shots of Miles and his Miura and his Dino. Thank you for this contribution!!

Wow, a blast from the past. I have been listening to Herbie since the early seventies when I discovered Jazz. What a legend and he still looks so young! Herbie Hancock and an original Shelby Cobra...two all-time classics! What a treat. Thanks Jay!
