    Porsches have improved on safety by a lot since 1955. I wonder if introducing competition into government will make it possible to not have junctions be called "Bllod Alley"? #jamesdean

    Widening the highway won't make it safer. Hopefully they will build some shoulders. #jamesdean

    This interchange has already been updated since the Dean accident, although it's still hella dangerous. Especially when you're driving with the wheel in one hand and a camera in the other. #jamesdean

    "Sam Smith" sure is ambiguous.

    In lieu of a proper introduction, I'm going to assume you look like this. #jamesdean

    Dean reportedly frequently showed up to the set of "Giant" exhibiting the minor dings and bruises that belayed his penchant for rough trade... Had he continued his career, would he have been "Rebel" enough to come out, or would he have lived in his (albeit not terribly secret) closet like the late Rock Hudson? We'll never know... #jamesdean

    Since when are Datsuns boring? It's all about power-to-weight, baby, power-to-weight. My 240Z went like heck, and that was before we started modifying it with a later, more fuel-efficient, and more powerful motor from a 260Z!

    If he had lived longer (which I wish he did I like his movies) There wouldn't be stupid crap speculating on what his life would be like taking time away from looking at flipped jeeps. Also there wouldn't be nostalgic morons selling crappy art featuring him with Marilyn Monroe at some 50's diner, with mystical names like "The Lat Ride" #jamesdean

    I really hate ads that "revive" dead celebrities and sell them out. If you need some dead guy's charisma to flog your product, get some new marketers. Or a new product.

    And this is just stupid: makes him sound like a shark--"swallowing large chunks..refusing to chew..." WTF? #jamesdean

    Had he lived, he would have lived the life of Mickey Rourke, starring in cheeeezy Japanese ads for the Daihatsu Charade. #jamesdean

    It would have been very interesting to see what he might have done, if he'd had a few more years ahead of him. All the more incentive to do as much as you can in the little time we have. Foot to the floor! #jamesdean

    I think the reason James Dean keeps us captivated to this day is because he died young. His star burned brightest when he died, we were not allowed to see anything but greatness from him. So this perfect man we remember will forever remain the perfect star in our hearts and minds. #jamesdean

    I think a Stryker might stand up to Ray's driving skills a little better. Rougher ride, but it'll survive the occasional parking lot bumper-thumper with more aplomb.
