If I got a chance to be any person in all of history, Paul Newman would be top 5.

J.D. Rockefeller or I’m not playing this game.

Rockefeller was rich, but seemed to be miserable every minute of his life.

“Carolla (perhaps) joked he’d have to liquidate some of his crop of 40-plus cars, maybe even his Lamborghini Miura SV”

Carolla is planning on selling multiple Lamborghinis to pay for this car. He’s been collecting as many of Newman’s race cars as he can get his hand on for the last several years. If anybody here hasn’t seen the documentary he made about Newman’s career, “Winning: The Racing Life of Paul Newman,” give it a watch, it’s free on Amazon prime. It’s a great movie.

If I was as rich as he was, I would have quit and figured out how to be happy.

I have space for the blue one.

Pretty sure I could come up with the space myself. You think he’d trade me for a ‘94 Roadmaster wagon?

He never seemed to though. I heard he could laugh and smile with his grand kids and that was about the extent of joy in his life.

Glad to here that Corolla got that car. I was talking to Porsche driver Kees Nierop a few weeks ago....he raced that same car at Sebring with the Dick Barbour Team. We were joking that if either of us hit the lottery last month, we’d buy the car. I hope Kees somehow finds his way back behind the wheel at a future Porsche event.

I also hope Corolla restores the Apple livery.

Probably just needed the sounds of a flat plane V8 winding up to 8K, or a flat six at full chat, or a big bore v8 on overrun.

Or a mistress. Yep, probably just needed more mistresses.

It was the gilded age. There was no ‘infidelity’ among the moneyed class back then (or today). The only trouble came with public spectacle. If you can keep the whispering down, do wucha like.

You’d think mistresses would be the case but no, they’re not. Having multiple girlfriends/mistresses/side pieces is either a one way ticket to paranoia and revenge OR, if you’re like me, they all know each other and are friends and you just became the personal handyman for each and every one of them......I mean, the “payment methods” are great and all, but you underestimate just how tiring it is to use your tool(s) that often.
