Low and Slow: One Day in Kansas City
The Outlaw and Aileen: You stole this car. Whispering into Aileen�s ear was a long-haired hippy dude in a sleeveless leather biker jacket at the BP station in Kansas City, Mo. Incredulous that Mrs. Martin was gotten on eBay for $2500, biker dude kept shaking his head saying Whoa. Sitting shotgun Aileen ran interference with him as I pumped gas while talking to the biker sidekick now shouting, You stole this car! We were minutes from airtime on Kansas City�s KCUR, the NPR affiliate station. Mrs. Martin�s latest admirers holding us back.
