One summer night back in 1988, I was working as a valet parker at Opryland Hotel. Late that night, a guest arrived in one of the coolest cars I had ever seen. A Sterling. All the bells and whistles and leather and everything you think a fancy British car would have. As I am going to park the car, I wave another valet over and say, “Let’s see how fast this baby can go on Briley Parkway.”We got on Briley and turned around at Two Rivers Parkway.
