average of .250. Too many icons don't know when to call it quits
and just relish in the fact that they went out as a winner. I hate to see
him put his name on everything. Money I guess. I want to remember him as the bib overall 1959 Le Mans winner, chicken
rancher turned world racing champion, Ferrari killing, super smart
hero.

And that's the crux of the matter;
we want to remember him for what he accomplished 40 years ago,
he wants to make more money off his name than he has time left to spend.
That's the difference between a legend and a ... muckraker.
Your pal,
Meat.
