Jay Leno says a widow tried to sell him a Ferrari for $350,000, so he helped her turn it into $3,750,000 instead.
โโI get enough free stuff like that, thatโs right, thatโs very nice. You donโt need to start screwing people over.โ
โโI said, โIf I can get you close to 4 million for that car, will you bake me some cookies?โ And she said, โWhy? Itโs not worth that much.โ I go, โItโs worth that much.โโ
โโI donโt like it when I hear people tell me a story how they screwed some old guy out of a car. I hate those kind of stories. I like these kind of stories.โ
Tim Richmond & Linda Vaughn chatting @IMS in May 1981.
In a last minute deal that year, Tim raced the #84 Foyt entry that had been qualified by George Snider.
If there was a major Motorsports event happening, Linda aka Miss Hurst Golden Shifter was there. ๐

When George Custer died at Little Bighorn in 1876, his wife Libby was 34.
She had followed him everywhere. Lived in tents on the open plains. Slept in forts on the edge of nowhere. Then in one afternoon he was gone, and she was a widow with almost no money and a husband whose name was already being dragged through the mud.
Most women in 1876 would have remarried. She had offers. She turned every one down.
Instead she picked up a pen. Three books. Lecture tours. She built his legend with her own hands.
And she defended him so fiercely that the officers who blamed Custer for the disaster just kept quiet. They were not afraid of the Army. They were afraid of her.
So they waited. Year after year, for the widow to finally pass so they could talk without her tearing them apart in print.
She made them wait almost 57 years.
Libby Custer died in 1933, four days short of 91, having outlived nearly every man who ever doubted her husband.
She is buried right next to him at West Point.
That is what loyalty looks like.
