Cool to know that he could drive any car he wants to drive, yet he still drives a 20 year-old C5. At least when he’s in L.A.

This has been in the news of late but not a new car to him. Not sure why it is all of a sudden getting around now.

It is an auto and that makes sense in LA stop and go traffic.

Has a purported worth of 1.2 Billion dollars, drives a $25k C5 Corvette. I love it.

I was stopped a red light once when I looked over and saw Warren Buffet next to me driving a Lincoln that was at least 10 years old...

John Lingenfelter came to our Christmas party years ago in his twin turbo C5 that could do 230 MPH. He drove to Ohio from Indiana. In the snow.

I miss him.

I can appreciate Paul's love of the car, must have something to do with the era you grew up in. Both Paul and I are 81 at the present . . .
