There's a similar story about rocker Ronnie Hawkins at a Rolls dealership. When Mr. Pinstripe got snotty with him because of his t-shirt, jeans and beard, Hawkins apparently pulled out a wad of bills and bought the floor model on the spot for cash, but refused to pay the salesman's commission. Don't know if it's true or an urban legend, but it's a satisfying mental image. Paul Chefurka
