LincVolt may have started a fire at Young's warehouse.

His footprint has been around since the 60's. It's just more noticeable on 4/20 or when his warehouse goes el fuego.

Long May You Run was written for his old pickup.

We've been through some things together. With trunks of memories still to come. We found things to do in stormy weather. Long may you run.

Long may you run. Long may you run. Although these changes have come. With your chrome heart shining in the sun. Long may you run.

Well, it was back in Blind River in 1962. When I last saw you alive. But we missed that shift on the long decline. Long may you run.

Long may you run. Long may you run. Although these changes have come. With your chrome heart shining in the sun. Long may you run.

Maybe The Beach Boys have got you now. With those waves singing Caroline. Rollin' down that empty ocean road. Gettin' to the surf on time.

Long may you run. Long may you run. Although these changes have come. With your chrome heart shining in the sun. Long may you run.

Sucks that his Lincoln almost made everything the color when black is burned.

One of the coolest cars I've ever come across at auction was in Scottsdale a few years ago.

It was a 1940 Caddilac V16 Limo once owned by Eddie Cantor, and then Neil Young from 1974-2006. It was nearly all original, even the paint had rub marks. There was a super-cool working radio in the back compartment. The Bake-A-Lite knobs still read WOR, WABC, WNBC. (AM radio)

All these young posers think they are cool rolling up in a new Maybach or Rolls Shadow. You really want to make an entrance? Roll up in a V16 Caddy!
