I’m at a loss for words. Burt Reynolds was a childhood hero of mine and will be forever. His iconic roles in Cannonball Run, Hooper, Smokey and the Bandit and Stroker Ace helped make me the man I am today. The Bandit will live on forever, rest in peace Burt

My dad's Mustang may not be in the best shape but it's my most prized possession. Many of you know he's struggling with Alzheimer's, so we keep his car safe here. My dad was really proud of his car & it deserves to be seen. I wish I could take him for a ride in it today.
