Toyota Pace Car at Watkins Glen International. Best picture I got of it; after having to sharpen, add light, and screenshot, the quality is horrid. So fun to see some Japanese cars at American/Euro dominated races.

AVIEL GILLINSKI

— basics

name: AVIEL GILLINSKI goes by: Aviel, Avi, Gill, Gillinski, Mr. Gill, Mr. Avi, Mr. Gillinski age / d.o.b.: 70, May 22, 1953 gender, pronouns & sexuality: Cis man, he/him, queer hometown: Watkins Glen, NY affiliation: former informant for Brotherhood job position: Kindergarten Teacher education: PhD in Art History and Archaeology (Columbia) relationship status: Divorced and single children: 3 positive traits: (5)  Outgoing, friendly, kind, empathetic, witty negative traits: (5) Petty, vain, forgetful, judgmental, cruel.

— biography

Aviel has had a colorful life. Growing up in Upstate New York, he came from a large family and was always the entertainer - the one making the jokes, keeping his family laughing. But he also worked hard. Odd summer jobs and saving his money for college.

He loved the creative side of things, but wanted to deep dive into it. Art history and Archaeology was the perfect niche for him, and he found himself going on expeditions to uncover and research. He's been all over. A rambling man, a traveler. A speaker at various international conferences. The man may not be a household name, but Aviel's face is well known within the circuit of gallery spaces and museums.

During this time he was seen and picked out for the information he could provide. A little name or location here or there. Something to assist the Brotherhood - when he could. It was never really about the money for Aviel. He liked a little chaos, loved seeing rich people squirm in their seats. And oh, was it fun to get back at the upturned noses at the various museums he frequented by dropping some of their precious private lives into the laps of someone who could blackmail them or hack into their systems.

After decades within the field, he decided to pursue a different passion - with grandkids and his own kids all grown up, empty nest and all that, he left his life of historian lectures and archaeology. Became a kindergarten teacher and never looked back.

However, Aviel sits on a wealth of information he never expected... because his students have rich parents. Affluent. Powerful. And boy, do they love to talk. Maybe he's thought of getting back into it - a little dropped factoid here or there.

Maybe for the right price, or the right connection. Who knows? He's a little bored, after all. Finger turkeys and kinetic sand only get you so far...

— wanted connections / plots

-3 kids! All grown, some have their own kids -Exes, old flames, FWBs, hookups -Old enemies from when he was more Brotherhood-prevalent -People whose kids he teaches -Let him be your eccentric neighbor -Or the guy who helped you get home one night -The guy you had a really weird conversation with at a bar -The world is your oyster. Aviel can do it all

Go little Datsun go,

Third place isn't so bad,

Considering you left so many cars in the dust.

Go little Datsun go,

Who needs first place anyways?

The thrill of the ride is the real prize.

This one-off 1956 Buick Century X was custom-built for GM styling director Bill Mitchell.

Bill Mitchell was Harley Earl’s handpicked successor at GM Design and Styling. Their association seemed to go beyond the standard boss-employee dynamic. Many called it a father-son relationship. Mitchell was just 23 when Earl appointed him chief designer of Cadillac. His design of the ‘38 Cadillac 60 Special was a landmark. But Mitchell was a “Buick man”. His father was a Pennsylvania Buick dealer, and despite being the design prodigy given the reins of the Corporation’s premier car division and style leader, Mitchell ached to draw Buicks. In 1954, Mitchell, right, with the iconic ’65 Mako Shark Corvette, became GM’s Director of Styling, working under Harley Earl. Mitchell drove over 50 “personalized” vehicles during his GM career and was best known for his love of Corvettes and Camaros. But his heart belonged to Buick and, in 1956, he created the customized ’56 Buick Century X. It wasn’t a landmark dream car like Earl’s Buick Y-Job or the ‘51 GM Le Sabre, but a modified production car – special order 90022 – a true factory custom. Buick auto show cars were the glamour models of the Corporation. Much was expected from the Century X; Buick delivered. Mitchell’s 225 changes were more subtle than startling, hardly the usual fare for a GM “dream car” of the 1950s. Dual side exhausts exited through the rocker panels requiring holes cut in the frame with plates welded around the openings for added strength. Century X also wore twin telescoping power headrests, swivel bucket seats, plush carpeting, Skylark-style wire wheels, Mitchell’s signature red chassis, and a prominent tachometer. Chrome accelerator and brake pedal trim told anyone who knew the design section’s secret internal language that this was indeed BILL MITCHELL’S BUICK CENTURY X. Being a racer at heart and taking a page from his mentor’s corporate playbook, Mitchell had the Century X driven to Elkhart Lake, WI for the Road America races in 1956. His timing was good. A new V-8 Corvette – another Mitchell favorite – defeated a field of Jaguars to notch the mighty Corvette’s first victory at Road America. Mitchell spent the race weekend cruising around the resort village much as Harley Earl had done at Watkins Glen during 1951 Grand Prix week with the Le Sabre dream car. Bill Mitchell spent 42 years at GM, working his way up to Vice President of Design, a position he held for 19 years. He retired in 1977 and opened up William L. Mitchell Design, a design consultancy he ran until really retiring in 1984. He passed away in 1988.
