Mr. Wolf had a few cars and trucks stashed in a friend’s warehouse where I spotted this old bicycle. “Looks like something you’d see at Burning Man,” I observed. Turns out I was right. The warehouse was filled with a giant metal sculpture (disassembled) that had graced the playa at some recent Burning Man. The builder/artist is trying to find a home for the massive piece.
Cars too nice to drive
In just a day-and-a-half I saw millions of dollars worth of vintage automobiles. I’m guessing that if you can afford one of these, you can afford several. And cannot resist doing so. But where to you keep a car that costs hundreds of thousands of dollars? We visited one of those places and saw this beautiful collection.

Mr. Wolf has a few clients that pay him to drive their cars once a month to keep them tuned up and ready. Nice work, huh? I asked about security and Mr. Wolf pointed out the difficulty in fencing a car like these.
1932 Alfa Romeo
Mr. Wolf lives in the world of vintage vehicles so our first stop was a nondescript garage somewhere in the Bay Area. Inside were gorgeous old cars worth millions. Two of Mr. Wolf’s friends were working on this Alfa Romeo. Pretty sure they told me this car would be valued at $4 million plus.
Dana the Garage Dog
We’ll never know for sure but I’m pretty sure Dana is smarter than most people I know. Her human, Dan, has a shop next to Mr. Wolf and while we stood talking outside, Dana retrieved a toy and insisted on playing. We did this for a solid 15 minutes.
Robert Wolfe
Ojai, California is a small artist community in the foothills east of Santa Barbara. My Lyft driver took the scenic route and it was beautiful. I spent an hour with Robert Wolfe.
