This car is mint; I'm talking like showroom-new. He said it's unlicensed right now because it's not street-legal. I told him about the "grandfather clause" for emissions-testing on older vehicles.

He keeps it parked behind that pull-down behind the car that seems to cover a long-ago gutted storefront. He also had some vintage Schwinn bike parts in the back of the Corolla, and after striking up a conversation about old bikes, he took me to the rear storage area of the storefront where he has about ten antique bikes, most of them in the further stages of restoration. it was really dark in there, and we used our cellphone screens as flashlights.

Interesting.

But the car... the car is rad.

Bushwick, Brooklyn...
