As longtime Scene readers know, actress Daryl Hannah used to drive a badass biodiesel-fueled 1983 El Camino — that is, until it was purchased via eBay auction by Nashville's own alternative transportation guru, former radio personality, tech entrepreneur and all-around good guy Freddie O'Connell.
Perhaps you've imagined what it would be like to peel out on vegetable oil in a Black Keys album namesake once driven by Elle Driver. Well, now's your chance: The car is up for auction, and that auction ends today at 2 p.m.
Why would someone give up the privilege of spending even the most banal driving errands sitting in a chair whose shape was partially molded by the downward force of Daryl Hannah's backside? As O'Connell explains, "I always knew the only thing that could get between me and that car was a woman. In this case, it was my infant daughter." So Freddie's decided it's time to ride the lightning with a new (safer, backseat- and air bag-equipped) electric car — but his loss could be your gain.Â
