"It was a conversation enjoyed over a glass of homemade wine, in a living room lit by long rays of sunshine. My Grandpa and I sat, talking mostly about women and how he met my Grandma. Almost mid-sentence Grandpa Dick – known to the local farmers' market as Richard Beitler – interrupted himself to change the subject. "Let's talk about cars," he said.

Returning from the kitchen he produced a vintage Kelly Blue Book – now more brown than blue. Leafing a few pages in he stopped at a well-worn, earmarked page and ran his finger down a few lines, stopping at the 1988 BMW E30 325iS. "This one would suit me fine." A gentle smile broke. "How do you think I'd find one of these, Shawn? Do they have them on the internet?"

Follow the link for the rest. Great story...

The only BMW on the road that's being driven with a turn signal on all the time.
