I hope the future greets me softer someday too...

There was a time I wore a heavy soul, Where broken thoughts had quietly taken control. I was cruel to myself, yet kind to every face, Smiling for the world while losing my own place. I carried storms behind laughter in my eyes, Turned pain into silence, truth into disguise. I gave joy away while my own heart bled, Fighting endless wars inside my head.

He possessed the greatest fleet between 1900 and 1967, ranging from luxurious to outlandish. Most of his coveted collection is now scattered across the world, acquired by museums and collectors. His diverse collection included a 1933 Dodge and a priceless Rolls-Royc...
