Another Failure

Six years ago, I took this Millennial New York kid on the greatest automotive tour of Los Angeles ever devised–picked up from the airport in a Rolls, blasting through the Malibu canyons in a Lamborghini, tracking a 911 with Patrick Long at Willow Springs, off-roading in a Raptor at Brian Deegan’s private mud pit, riding the 6th Street Bridge with legendary low-rider artist Mr. Cartoon, and more–to try to convince him that cars are cool. He still doesn’t have a driver’s license.
