As I recall the Dr SVD was the license on his second car.
He once left the car at SFO airport and when he heard I was flying
in, he asked me to drive it to his house (keys under the seat!)
What he didn't tell me was that it was a "stick shift" and I only once
before had a friend teach me how that works. After driving around
San Francisco for Gene I got better at it, but it was definitely scary at times.
