Should I show her the black dress picture, guys?
Porsche911girl, when I said I look like Steve McQueen, I didn't mean I look like Steve used to look when he was younger. Your SM picture was taken when he was a younger man. He doesn't look like that now, and neither do I.

You also need to watch the program about Steve called "the essense of cool" that ran on PBS a while back.
If you cannot find it, I Tivo'ed it and could burn you a copy. Not many like him and glad to see that he is still remembered. Joe

I'm a McQueen fan, too, with Bullitt being my favorite movie of his.
911girl- the original TV series that put him on the map, "Wanted: Dead or Alive" came out recently on DVD. It was a hoot to see him in something I've never seen him in before.

I used to watch "Branded" as well. Still have the image of them tearing off his epaulets in my head, and I can hear the theme song. Another golden oldie on DVD is "Have Gun - Will Travel."

Paul, I generally observe a pretty rational age limit. Being 49 and all. With the exception of 911 drivers in North Carolina.
I think the black dress pic should do the trick, wouldn't you agree? Naw, wait a minute. I've got an idea.

Perhaps she's not ready for the black dress pic. Here's a festive skirt. If Porsche911girl spins out of control with lust, I'll call you Paul and we'll figure out a way to let her down easy.

Looking for a great Steve McQueen movie? watch the original Thomas Crown Affair. Steve is cool, and the car he drives on the beach is awesome.
