There's a noteworthy bit at the end of the article:

Moments later, Wilson got up and left through the back door, speeding away in a sports car while his entourage scrambled for their cars ("You know Brian -- when he wants to go, he goes").

I remember reading a thread on this very same board, in which people were wondering if Brian was still used to driving his car himself or not. Seems like we've got an answer!

There was an article on Brian in Rolling Stone from around '05 or '06 where the reporter talks about Brian driving him around LA.

Yes, Brian drives regularly.  He also gets lost a lot...

Wonder what sports car Brian drives

He's got a black Mercedes.

In 2004, he owned a Mercedes SL500, a Hummer and a "Porsche Turbo" (911? Cayenne?)

Thanks dude, that was very itneresting

For a guy that wrote so many song about cars, why does the idea of him driving sound so bizarre to me? 

[Wirestone]

Because you would not want to be following him in traffic. I imagine some distraction might be involved.

I believe AGD can confirm the story i read around these parts about Brian personally driving Stephen Kalinich back from hospital after a recent illness..... and Stephen not exactly enjoying the experience

Haha... this reminds me of a dry remark of a female writer at Rolling Stone, around 1985, on Bruce Springsteen: 'I wonder what he'd be writing about if he'd failed his driving test?'.

Stevie told me about that last time we met. I got the distinct impression he wasn't going to let Brian play chauffeur again any time soon. Or ever.
