It was John too. I was a young guy at the time, but I heard him in an interview and he said something, I was thinking at the time.
I forget the exact quote, by he said aomething like, 'I'm tired of only seeing only guys my age, with my income driving a nice sports car. I would like to give young guys the thrill of driving a sports car.'
I just liked him as a person, and he came across as someone I could trust. (I didn't trust most adults back then. Even now, I don't trust many of my peers. Crazy huh?). I did like the design of the car, and I really liked the stainless steel body.
Even though I liked the car; I remember thinking even if I did have the money I wouldn't buy it. I wanted an old 356 Porsche. I finally found one I could afford. My friend talked me out of the $2000 sale. He said, these old Porsche's rust from the bottom up, and eventually you can't close the doors. He was a car dealer, so I didn't buy the vechicle. He was probally right, but my dream car is still the 356 rust free Porsche.
I was so glad when he beat the cocaine rap.
