I'm in process of reading Smokey Yunick's autobiography, Smokey had nothing but nice things to say about him. Made a very good point when he said that most poeple will go through life and maybe find 3 or 4 true friends that aren't just around you for personal gain. Said Mickey was one of those friends. Too bad his life ended early, when you think of all the things he did, think of where he could have gone from there.

As far as the car in the picture, I vote bonneville land speed car.
