    Guess how old? Guys that listen to the 60's on 6 your cheating. A couple of hours ago the host on 60's on 6 (damn, I forgot his name) said he had been holding an interview with James Dean taken only a week or so before he died. It was a public service announcement about safe driving. During the interview he was asked how fast his Porsche would run. If my tin ears heard correctly he said 105 or106. Anyway, one of you guys might be able to find a recording of it. Give up? He would be 90 years old on Feb. 9. He was born in 1931. I think James Dean would have ranked high on the list of Hollywood car guys, right up there with Paul Newman and Steve McQueen.
