Yeah.
Came with his kid down to Lime Rock and jumped in the back of Bob Sharp's car and he took him around a few times.
Those old time guys are always so cool.
Somebody...
Somebody said evidently when Paul Newman would put the sunglasses on, he just really couldn't tell who he was, especially those gearheads who live in the middle of Connecticut.
And there's this great thing where he said somebody after he got out of Bob Sharp's car, somebody said, wasn't that Paul Newman?
And Bob Sharp said it was Paul something or other.
I don't remember.
Give it a B plus.
No, the thing that's weird about the Newman doc is I had people โ there's like underground geek videos that if you have some of his cars or you're into Bob Sharp racing or whatever that is, people will feed them to you.
And so I've been aware of them for a long time.
And I remember seeing that thing of him going, you know, the Academy Awards, they vote.
It's him or her, but it's this.
They don't vote.
It's whoever crosses the line first.
And I thought โ
Man, yeah.
And then I thought, that's the opening.
That should be the opening of the documentary.
But I saw so much footage of him.
