    I'm usually not a fan of brown cars, but McQueen's Ferrari Lusso was gorgeous.

    After I saw your post I checked my local library to see if they had a copy of that as an e-book. Unfortunately, the only book by Marshall Terrill they have in their system is an autobiography of Ruth Pointer of the Pointer Sisters. :)

    I found my copy of it on a big table at the Portland swap meet about 20 years ago, you might look up the ISBN number and that will give you a lot more information about it.
    Good luck, hope you find a copy of it!
    The ISBN number is clearly seen in the pictures I posted.

    Man crush from me. McQueen was a man's man and a lady's man. I admire that while he was famous and wealthy, he was in his element in jeans, boots, riding dirt bikes, racing cars, drank good old American beer and would. What's not to like!? On that note, he'd be in my top 5 of "who would you like to have a beer with"?

    Had some fun reading up on him.

    McQueen was the first choice for the movie Grand Prix, however he ****ed heads with the producer, so Garner was given the job. The two were next door neighbor's in upscale Brentwood. After filming The Great Escape, the two were known to race their Mini's down the street. When McQueen was living in Malibu, his neighbor was Keith Moon of The Who, a 180 of Garner.

    I had no idea how horrific his childhood was. After reading his Wiki, I thought thought how fantastic an autobiographical movie would be. Who would/could play the role??...
