Letterman on the last Jon Stewart show, with Paul Newman Volvo story

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pCxxMO2dG1U

The Newman story starts at about 3:50. Funny...

That story was awesome, I want a Newman Volvo.

"A 302 with a puffer. 400hp, and it will eat anythings ass from 20 to 100" Who would have guessed that Paul Newman was a street racer. "No, I swear, it was Paul Freakin Newman in this dopey Volvo, and he .ate my ass!!!"

Awesome story. I very well might be imagining this, but doesn't a GRM'er have one of the actual Paul Newman Volvos?

Also, why doesn't anybody smoke cigars on TV anymore?

It just doesn't get any better than that, awesome

more of Dave talking about Paul and the car

Very cool links, thanks.

IF there is some sort of after life, where you can talk to long passed celebrities. I hope the heck I get a chance to talk to Paul Newman.

Speaking of V8 Volvos, it looks like Converse Engineering has vanished from the web. Anybody have the scoop on that?

I had a little man-cry after watching that second video. What a wonderful person, kind of like McQueen and Garner. They just had/have a presence about themselves that say "I don't care what you think of me, I know who I am and what I'm about." Later, when the girlfriend asked why my eyes were all red, I blamed it on my allergies and went out to the garage to work on my Challenge entry.

Waitwaitwait. 960s are RWD?

240s and 760s I knew. Here I thought 960s came after 850s. That would explain it.

So many possibilities...
