(If mods want to put this in Off Topic Forum, feel free....thought this'd get more views if I put it here, and it's an interesting enough story that others may want to read it.)
Last night me and dad were coming back from doing some chores around his fiancees house while she's out of town, and on the way home stop off at the K&W (a cafeteria style restaurant for those not in the know!) on Peters Creek, and as we're coming out, we check out this pretty sweet black luxury car parked beside us with Texas plates. I joke to dad and tell him, "Wow, look, Josh Howard's parked beside us," just making a not illogical conclusion seeing as how it's a fancy car, Texas plates, Winston-Salem during the off-season, and such, but not enough to be taken seriously, right?
Anyway, we're just getting ready to get in the car, and dad tells me, "There's Josh," and I start to laugh, but then look behind me and see....you guessed it, Josh. Me and dad say hey to him and tell him, as a hometown kid, we're glad for his success and hope the Mavs have a good year except when they play the Cats. We're getting into our cars at the same time, and I look at the damn good legroom he's got in his car, while I'm struggling to get into the passenger side of my dad's coupe. I ask him if I can have some of that legroom, and he laughs and tells me to come sit in his car.
First of all, no, there was no stench of pot ;). Secondly, my god, what comfort. He tells me it's a Maybach (since I'm not a car dude, I never heard of it) and I'm looking inside and it's pure luxury...like I could live in the damn thing. I told him, "Not that I can afford it, but you wouldn't happen to want to sell this to me for a discount, would you?" He laughed and said, "No. No."
So I reluctantly get out, then we shake hands tell each other to take care, and that's how Josh Howard had the fortune to hang with The Beagle for about 7 minutes.
