Funny: Magnus was hoofing it back from the Gooding & Co. auction to the host hotel. It's about a one mile trek and there's Magnus walking on the side of the road, while the rest of us are on the shuttle bus.

It turns out the bus driver refused to allow the "homeless guy" access to the bus. The driver lied to Magnus by claiming "....this bus does not go to the Ritz Carlton, sorry"

As we approach the hotel, traffic really swells to 0.2 mph. Magnus keeps trading the lead with the shuttle bus. Every time Magnus passes the bus he gives the driver the meanest stink eye you've ever seen. Finally, we're waiting to turn into the hotel driveway -- blinker on -- and Magnus sticks his head in the bus driver's window and says:

"I thought you said this bus doesn't come to the the Ritz?"

It was awesome. I love his cars.
That is a tremendously funny story. Talk about adding to his persona.
