So a reporter from the Wall Street Journal is coming to my shop tomorrow for a story on silly little cars. Anyone want to come? It'll be 3pm, Howard and 5th Street in San Francisco. Free parking for any silly little cars...<br>
<br>Yes, you too can be part of a filler piece for the Rupert Murdoch media empire.<br><br>Anyway, could be fun.<br><br>The email from the reporter:<br><br><blockquote style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;" class="gmail_quote">
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">I’m
a reporter for the Wall Street <span class="il">Journal</span> in San
Francisco, and I’m working on a story about “silly
little cars,” as you call them—Interceptors, Cushmans, etc.—where
people get them, and why the people who own them seem to love them so much.</span></font></p><p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><br></span></font></p><p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">I
recently talked to Keef Ward, who lives here in SF, drives a Cushman and turned
me on to your website. He suggested I shoot you a note. I’d love to hear
more about your cars, how you got into them and whether you’ve run across
many other enthusiasts.</span></font></p><p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><br></span></font></p><p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Let
me know if you’re interested and can spare some time to chat in the next
few days. I’d be happy to give you a call or meet for coffee/tea/drinks
if you live here in SF. What do you think? Looking forward to talking.</span></font></p><p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"> </span></font></p><p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Cheers,</span></font></p>
