Music: For sale: One used 1999 Volkswagen Passat. (Owned by Elliott Smith.)

  • As music superfans, whoa. Do you live in Austin? Do you have $4,000 lining your pockets? Looking to gain instant indie cred and help a good cause at the same time? Buy this car. It’s a little dinged up, but it used to be owned by our biggest obsession, Elliott Smith. His sister is selling it. If you buy it, you too can imagine what he was thinking when he was driving around coming up with songs like “Son of Sam” and “Twilight.” Plus, even better, the proceeds – 100% of them – go to the SIMS foundation, which helps musicians with mental health and addiction problems. Admit it, you want it. source
