: Porsche / Hollywood / racing fans will recall that it was 54
: years ago today that James Dean died, driving his new Porsche
: Spyder 550 from his home in Los Angeles, to a weekend of racing,
: in Salinas, California. Dean was northbound on California
: Highway 46, probably going over 70 miles per hour, when Donald
: Turnipseed (in a Ford sedan) turned left in front of Dean,
: hitting the Porsche and killing Dean instantly. [Here is an
: interesting new webpage , that reconstructs the accident.] James
: Dean died at 3:45 (California time) that afternoon.

: Less well known is that fact that I was born that same day, exactly
: 10 minutes after James Dean died.

: So remember James Dean today, and send me a vintage (1955) Heuer
: for my birthday!!
