Total gearhead, the real deal.  I think he did acting so he could go racing.  You have to respect that he blew all his money just to have that 550 Spyder.  I wonder if he would have gotten into Cobras had he lived through the 1960s.  He seemed to want the fastest latest thing.
"Low she sits on five spoke wheels
Small block eight so live she feels
There she's parked beside the curb
Engine revving to disturb
She's the princess from his past
Red paint gold stripes damned she's fast"

I think James Dean, Steve Mc Queen, Paul Walker, Patrick Dempsey and some others actors live(d) more for the racing/ car hobby than beeing actors.
