[Leica] LeMans the movie on now

[rmcclure2 at woh.rr.com (Rob McClure)]

Len,

I had a new red 1992 Mustang 5.0 liter 5 speed .  It was my 40 year old 
midlife crisis machine.  I loved it, but then my son got his license 
and insurance went through the roof, so I traded it on something more 
pedestrian.  Now I get my kicks from a motorcycle (which I wrecked 
yesterday, but that's another story).  I saw Vanishing Point at the 
drive in when I was a teenager.  Everyone was so fired up at the end of 
the movie that it was like an Indy 500 start tearing out of the parking 
lot.  I just bought the DVD from amazon.com and it is still exciting, 
while being a neat period piece with naked hippies, drugs, etc.
