Vile Gossip: It Was The Best Of Times
Vile Gossip: It Was The Best Of Time - Automobile Magazine
And even when it wasn't, it has still been the best of times.

On the tenth anniversary of Automobile Magazine, I was moved to reprint a page of my favorite memos from the founder of this magazine, David E. Davis, Jr. It was a tiny window into the daily cataclysm of life with the most interesting, most difficult, cleverest, darkest, most erudite, dandiest, most inspirational, charismatic, and all-around damnedest human being I will ever meet. I have loved him. I have seriously not loved him. But this isn't an obituary, so we don't have to get into any weepy crap here.
