He did have a nice porsche though. I was at a gas station in West Sacramento circa 1987 when a black guy drove in with a nice porsche. I was admiring it and he showed me it and we chatted for a bit. I thought he was just some well off black guy with a nice gold chain on his neck. After he left the gas attendant showed me his gas receipt (they ran cards back then and you had to sign it) and told me that was Willie Brown. Said he always filled up there when he left sac for SF. He was nice enuf to me anyway. I didn't pay much attention to politics back then.
