When I was a kid, there was this guy that lived a few blocks away (working class neighborhood Detroit 1968?). He was older than me and my little friends, but unlike many of the "older kids" (we were 12 or 13 he was 18) he treated us with respect and kindness and talked to us like we were regular people.... not like kids.
He had a Plymouth Roadrunner and it was his pride and joy. He would be working on it, head under the hood when we'd walk by... he'd talk to us and tell us stuff about his car and engines.
One day when we walked by, he told us he was shutting down his car because he had been drafted (they drafted the lower class and the upper class had a pass). This was during the height of the Viet Nam war and I remember that I had trepidation, and bad feeling.
After that his car sat in the driveway for a few months... then it was gone... and so was he.
A true story.
