Well as crazy a ride as it has been I bought an Automobile Dealership and have sold VSO to my Son Jordan.

Back in a suit and tie May 1st if escrow closes on time. Subaru Ford dealership in the South Bay.

Keeping my Vespas so I certainly will be around here when I can.

Crazy.

OK, hopefully this is a big APRIL FOOLS on us all...

And I've never even met you and know you've got a cool dealership!

Congrats! Hope it works out how you wanted.

I get out to the South bay at least once a year to visit family. What city will you be in?

Shucks turns out I told Jordan 2 Million lock stock and barrel and he thought I said 2 Thousand so I cancelled the deal. Of course I had to bail out on the Auto Dealership due to this development.

So I will stay in Vespa land for another 20 years or so.

I'm happier this way

Gee David (and Linda) I'm happy and sad all at the same time. The good news is that you're not selling it to some stranger. Jordan has helped me in the past and I consider him one of the greatest boys on the face of the Earth. Just make sure you remind him on the way out the door that we go waaaay back and I expect/hope/ ask to be treated accordingly in future.

Seriously though, Like death and taxes, "All good things must come to an end." Nothing you can do about it.

YIKES!!!!!! AFTER I WAXED ALL SENTIMENTAL AND PHILOSOPHICAL YOU'RE NOT SELLING? OR ARE YOU??? ISN'T THERE SOME KIND OF LAW OR SOCIETAL RULE AGAINST TELLING PEOPLE THINGS THAT ARE UNTRUE? (I guess now we're even on that LA Magazine thing.)

Whatever, I still think Jordan is a good boy and he took real good care of me the last time so I really can't lose either way (except you have more gravitas).

I'd be the happiest man in Redondo Beach if you opened a satellite shop here in the south bay. I know some others tried a few years ago and failed but have to believe they just did not know how to market themselves. Whole different lifestyle than in the valley and I'm betting you could do very well. 8)
