An old Navy shipmate, Bill Steele, from "Warren, Ohio" (he told everyone where he was from, A LOT) used to come here to what was, in 1986, an old, beat-up garage. It's now owned by the County, used as a vehicle storage lot. Back in 1986, it was a real eyesore. Bill used to come here every coupla months & buy a real junker for a hundred bucks or so. It was always barely running, no inspection or tags. He'd just drive it into the dirt, abandon it & buy another.
I was by here for work & remembered the place.
I got Bill drunk for the first time in his life, at Hussongs in Ensenada, Baja Mexico. He got so plowed he barfed all over the women's bathroom (it was the closest when it was "projectile"-time) & he drew the attention of the moonlighting Federale "bouncer". Somehow I talked the 2 of us out spending a couple of days in the Ensenada Jail.
Miss you, Wild Bill, from Warren, Ohio.
