He got an infection that laid him up in the hospital and rehab for several months late last year. He was unable to do any work for several months.

I feel pretty sad about his current condition. We went to Bandimere for the Nationals, maybe 7 years ago, and he was in the staging lanes looking over some cars. I knew who he was, I don't know if anybody else really did. Him and I walked up the staging lanes together for about 45 mins as he spat out random car trivia and tidbits about every single car we walked by. Truly an automotive encyclopedia. Kills me to see him staggering around like that and selling off his assets.

Why doesn't he sell it at a Barrett Jackson auction and probably get big bucks from a sympathetic fan?
