Cheryl Crow's song runs through my head....."Like Steve..........McQueen,
All I need's a fast machine".........
He was born in Beech Grove in 1930, but after his father abandoned them,
his Mother left him with an Uncle that lived in Missouri.
He starred in one of my favorite movies.......
"The Thomas Crown Affair", opposite Faye Dunaway.
The movie has one of the sexiest scenes in movie history,
in spite of the fact that he and Faye keep all their clothing on.
In an earlier comment, I asked a trivia question about the movie "The Blob".
In that movie McQueen participates in a drag race that is unique.
What was different about it?
McQueen challenges the other driver to race in "Reverse" gear!
Of course he wins.
McQueen always wins.

The chase scene in Bullit was pretty good also. I didn't know a car could have so many hubcaps though. He was a great guy to watch on the screen also.
Another good trivia answer, GH:
There are at least 5 hubcaps come off that Dodge Charger during that scene.
McQueen had a professional race driver's license and did much of his own driving in that movie, and in "Le Mans".
