"Don't you want to be able to say you sold your bike to Steve McQueen?" That was apparently the line McQueen used at times to convince sellers to offer up their top rides to him. It is also just another in a long line of examples of why he is the epitome of cool. You may never get your hands on the '68 'Stang ... continue reading
They say if you do what you love you'll never work a day in your life. That's a load of crap. Ultimately you're just going to spend more sleepless nights making sure every last detail is perfect.
