Chuck Pryett, there's Jerry. 0:01:22.520 --> 0:01:25.240 Guess what Jerry's doing. She's eating your lunch, which is 0:01:25.280 --> 0:01:28.400 what she always does. So that makes this Stuff you 0:01:28.440 --> 0:01:32.600 Should Know. Uh, just back from the road. Big grueling 0:01:32.680 --> 0:01:36.160 to to city tour. It was kind of grueling because 0:01:36.200 --> 0:01:40.480 I get really really nervous before d C shows in particular. Yeah, 0:01:40.520 --> 0:01:44.400 so thank you to Boston, Massachusetts, the Commonwealth making it 0:01:44.680 --> 0:01:47.480 nice and easy and relaxing the Commonwealth in the district 0:01:47.560 --> 0:01:50.240 we didn't go to We didn't go to a state. No, 0:01:50.320 --> 0:01:53.040 we didn't, did we. Yeah, you know those porschemos in 0:01:53.280 --> 0:01:57.560 um in DC can't even they don't even have representation. Yeah, 0:01:57.640 --> 0:02:00.960 but they can buy weed. Really, I didn't know that. 0:02:01.280 --> 0:02:02.440 I don't know if it's I don't know if they 0:02:02.480 --> 0:02:04.480 have shops, but I know that DC is one of 0:02:04.520 --> 0:02:07.280 the places that supposedly voted it in, but he usually 0:02:07.280 --> 0:02:11.040 takes years after to roll that out. It's a big thing. 0:02:11.160 --> 0:02:13.520 I read a really really interesting article. I think I 0:02:13.560 --> 0:02:17.240 was in The New Yorker years back when, right after 0:02:17.400 --> 0:02:20.080 Washington and Oregon passed and they were the first pass 0:02:20.120 --> 0:02:24.519 recreational right. And I can't remember who it profiled or 0:02:24.560 --> 0:02:26.400 what state the guy was working for, but it was 0:02:26.440 --> 0:02:29.880 this guy who basically was like, Okay, the voters voted 0:02:29.919 --> 0:02:32.560 this in, go figure out how to do this, and like, 0:02:33.040 --> 0:02:35.400 do it right so that we actually get rid of 0:02:35.440 --> 0:02:39.520 illegal weed and organized crime and all that stuff. But also, um, 0:02:39.840 --> 0:02:42.600 don't hurt the alcohol lobby. Like this guy had so 0:02:42.639 --> 0:02:46.840 many interesting air or balls juggling in the air that 0:02:46.919 --> 0:02:49.200 it was a really great article. Check it out. I 0:02:49.240 --> 0:02:51.280 don't remember what it was called. I'm pretty sure it 0:02:51.320 --> 0:02:56.720 was The New Yorker, No recollection of the year. Go wait, 0:02:57.520 --> 0:03:00.880 I just left. So we're talking today, not about weed 0:03:01.000 --> 0:03:05.360 or the New Yorker or anything like that, even Jerry's lunch, Chuck. 0:03:05.360 --> 0:03:10.800 We're talking about Ferrari's one of the most beautiful cars, 0:03:11.760 --> 0:03:16.200 car lines, one of the greatest automotive manufacturers of all time. Yeah, 0:03:16.240 --> 0:03:20.960 it's funny dudes like you and I. Obviously there's one 0:03:21.000 --> 0:03:24.480 Ferrari to us, although I have grown to appreciate other 0:03:24.520 --> 0:03:28.160 Ferraris over the years, like the Ferres Bueller Ferrari and 0:03:28.200 --> 0:03:30.799 some of those older cool ones. But for guys like us, 0:03:30.960 --> 0:03:34.119 the Magnum p I Ferrari is the Ferrari to indel Ferraris. 0:03:34.320 --> 0:03:37.160 Is that like the Yes, I think I don't even remember. 0:03:37.200 --> 0:03:39.920 I just call it the Magnum. That's all you need 0:03:39.960 --> 0:03:42.160 to call it. One of the greatest looking cars in 0:03:42.200 --> 0:03:43.880 the history of cars. And I'm not even a sports 0:03:43.920 --> 0:03:47.120 car guy, right, No, I'm not either, but that is 0:03:47.280 --> 0:03:50.600 probably the greatest car ever made. It's dope, yea. So 0:03:50.680 --> 0:03:53.240 Magnum could rock that thing, and if you watch him 0:03:53.280 --> 0:03:55.120 get in and out of it, it's pretty funny. Just 0:03:55.240 --> 0:03:57.640 that alone is like, Wow, it's a really well made car. 0:03:57.840 --> 0:03:59.640 Well yeah, and you also like it's Tom Sell like 0:03:59.760 --> 0:04:01.960 nine tall, Yeah, he kind of is. And are his 0:04:02.040 --> 0:04:05.280 shorts that small? But that that Ferrari that I think 0:04:05.320 --> 0:04:08.160 it's a Yes, it was, um, Yes, his shorts were 0:04:08.400 --> 0:04:11.200 very small. Um a lot of thigh On that show, 0:04:11.280 --> 0:04:14.080 it was like a clown car basically when he'd get 0:04:14.120 --> 0:04:16.520 out of it. Yeah, you know, Higgins would come after 0:04:16.600 --> 0:04:18.880 and wreck. Man, what a show. But that's not the 0:04:18.920 --> 0:04:22.120 Ferrari that we're talking about today, and I want to say, so, 0:04:22.240 --> 0:04:24.680 there's some numbers that are in here. I went and 0:04:24.920 --> 0:04:29.960 looked up the real numbers. These are way way, way low. 0:04:30.040 --> 0:04:33.280 But as far as value of the car, yeah, if 0:04:33.279 --> 0:04:35.599 you want to get fascinated, everybody, even if you're not 0:04:35.640 --> 0:04:39.240 into Ferraris, just type in some of the names of 0:04:39.279 --> 0:04:41.080 the Ferraris that we're going to throw out there today 0:04:41.120 --> 0:04:44.240 in the years and you will find an entire world 0:04:44.279 --> 0:04:49.880 out there of breathtaking lee rich people who buy Greek 0:04:49.920 --> 0:04:54.400 tycoons half a million dollar cars, you know, Yeah, I 0:04:54.440 --> 0:04:59.200 mean people value different things. Obviously. I've never been a 0:04:59.240 --> 0:05:04.120 guy that that thought, like a seventy five thousand dollar car. 0:05:04.160 --> 0:05:06.560 I've probably just thought why would somebody spend that kind 0:05:06.560 --> 0:05:08.920 of money. But some people, you know, they love their car, 0:05:09.040 --> 0:05:11.680 so that's their jam. You know. That's kind of what 0:05:11.800 --> 0:05:14.039 this episode is for. It's a car episode from two 0:05:14.040 --> 0:05:17.159 guys who are not car guys, So dig in and 0:05:17.279 --> 0:05:20.080 prepared to be outraged a moment after a moment. I've 0:05:20.120 --> 0:05:23.560 got my kind of SUV that my brother thinks is 0:05:23.600 --> 0:05:28.920 a minivan. It's a crossover. Is that what they're called now? 0:05:28.920 --> 0:05:32.359 A crossover is like a car and suv. Yours is 0:05:32.400 --> 0:05:35.520 a minivan in an suv crossover. Yeah, I drive a 0:05:35.560 --> 0:05:40.120 Honda Pilot now, everybody, and the Pilot underwent a change 0:05:40.680 --> 0:05:44.480 from looking like a four runner type of suv a 0:05:44.520 --> 0:05:46.120 couple of years ago. I think then they kind of 0:05:46.800 --> 0:05:49.360 shrunk it and squatted it to where it sort of 0:05:49.400 --> 0:05:51.920 looks like their minivan, put a clown nose on the front. 0:05:52.680 --> 0:05:54.160 I try to get a minivan and try to get 0:05:54.160 --> 0:05:55.520 the Honda Odyssey and him, and it was like, no, 0:05:55.640 --> 0:05:57.400 we're not getting a minivan. Well I saw it just 0:05:57.480 --> 0:05:59.320 yesterday and I can tell you it's a fine looking 0:05:59.320 --> 0:06:03.000 car ship and you're like, totally normal. Drive again. First 0:06:03.000 --> 0:06:05.719 time I've ever had leather seats under my butt? That 0:06:05.880 --> 0:06:08.280 is so nice. Here at forty seven years old, and 0:06:08.320 --> 0:06:13.320 you're just like, fart, that's how you fired in a 0:06:13.400 --> 0:06:17.520 leather seat classy like well, Plus, it doesn't absorb like 0:06:18.360 --> 0:06:21.320 those class seats a little stinky. Oh they do, they do, 0:06:21.520 --> 0:06:23.760 and like it accumulates over time, you know what I mean. 0:06:24.360 --> 0:06:27.800 That's why if you're ever gonna buy a a used car, everybody, 0:06:27.800 --> 0:06:30.560 which frankly, I think you always should smell the seat. No, 0:06:31.360 --> 0:06:34.200 just do yourself a solid and splurge on the leather 0:06:34.400 --> 0:06:38.000 because you can wipe those off, right, But I do. 0:06:38.120 --> 0:06:40.440 Everyone take hard. It's still I'm true to my roots. 0:06:40.440 --> 0:06:43.120 I have my pickup truck because it's paid for and 0:06:43.240 --> 0:06:46.440 I still use it for hauling nice garbage. That's that's 0:06:46.480 --> 0:06:50.200 my side job, is it. I didn't know that. Yeah, 0:06:50.240 --> 0:06:52.200 that's cool. Good trash. Good to know. Do you have 0:06:52.200 --> 0:06:54.640 a card? I know, you just flag me down. I'll 0:06:54.640 --> 0:06:58.480 just drive around yelling out the window. It's a good idea. 0:06:58.960 --> 0:07:01.520 You don't need a card. Why waste money on this? Exactly? 0:07:01.960 --> 0:07:05.000 So we're talking Ferraris today, and we're talking specifically a 0:07:05.120 --> 0:07:08.960 two year period in the nineteen seventies when not one, 0:07:09.760 --> 0:07:15.280 but two Ferraris made the news for being buried kind 0:07:15.320 --> 0:07:19.560 of not Yeah, if you if you want to um terrify, 0:07:19.840 --> 0:07:26.480 horrify a Ferrari enthusiast talk about burying their their favorite car. Yeah, 0:07:26.920 --> 0:07:29.880 especially how they did it the second way. All right, 0:07:30.720 --> 0:07:34.840 should we start out with the first one? Yes? Alright, 0:07:35.800 --> 0:07:41.720 Spring and Beverly Hills very lovely, I imagine, yeah, you know, 0:07:41.800 --> 0:07:44.560 I mean it's always lovely out there in Beverly Hills. Yeah, 0:07:45.080 --> 0:07:47.240 that's the slogan they put on the T shirts. That's right. 0:07:47.600 --> 0:07:51.200 There was a socialite named and she was married to well, 0:07:51.280 --> 0:07:53.840 the story is a little convoluted, but she was the 0:07:53.880 --> 0:07:57.560 widow of a Texas oil tycoon named Mike West. And 0:07:57.880 --> 0:07:59.720 these are this is the bare bones beginning. She was 0:07:59.720 --> 0:08:03.440 married to this guy. He died and she had a 0:08:03.480 --> 0:08:11.080 car that she loved, a Ferrari America American nineteen. And 0:08:11.280 --> 0:08:14.920 her wish was to be buried in this thing. And 0:08:15.240 --> 0:08:16.840 we'll go ahead and leap to the end and say 0:08:16.840 --> 0:08:19.040 that did happen, And now we'll fill it in with 0:08:19.080 --> 0:08:23.800 all the exciting details. Yeah, so this this lady, Sandra West, 0:08:23.960 --> 0:08:27.000 She actually was born and raised in Beverly Hills. Her 0:08:27.040 --> 0:08:30.360 parents owned a clothing store, and so she was like 0:08:30.440 --> 0:08:33.800 middle class um, but she was a looker and she 0:08:33.920 --> 0:08:37.840 started dating like hunky stars like Elvis. She was hot 0:08:37.880 --> 0:08:41.560 to Trot and Sinatra. I think that's actually fair to say. 0:08:41.920 --> 0:08:45.439 She was a fun loving person, but also a very 0:08:45.559 --> 0:08:50.280 um lonely person, as we will see. So she she 0:08:50.679 --> 0:08:53.680 um starts dating around and she ends up dating a 0:08:53.679 --> 0:08:57.200 guy named Saul West. Yeah, a little weird how this 0:08:57.280 --> 0:09:01.160 all happened. So Saul West was a tech this oil tycoon, 0:09:01.559 --> 0:09:04.680 and um, he was actually he was actually well he 0:09:04.760 --> 0:09:07.640 wasn't away, but he was actually a younger the younger 0:09:07.679 --> 0:09:11.280 brother of I Quest. So Sandra West when she meets Saul, 0:09:11.360 --> 0:09:13.520 she doesn't know that I Quests exist, and she's not 0:09:13.600 --> 0:09:16.040 super happy with Saul. Apparently he ran around on her 0:09:16.080 --> 0:09:19.560 and everything. Um, and she was like, wait a minute, 0:09:19.640 --> 0:09:22.880 you haven't a brother, and he's an older brother and 0:09:22.920 --> 0:09:24.640 we all know what that means. And he's the true 0:09:24.679 --> 0:09:28.599 heir to the family fortune. Where is he do you say? 0:09:28.880 --> 0:09:31.240 And Saul was like, oh, he's just a washed up loser. 0:09:31.280 --> 0:09:34.280 He loves drugs and drinking. And the parents they they're 0:09:34.280 --> 0:09:36.200 sick of them, so they sent him down to Mexico 0:09:36.280 --> 0:09:38.439 to live with his bodyguard. Yeah, that's where you got 0:09:38.440 --> 0:09:41.040 to clean up. That's another episode right there. We need 0:09:41.080 --> 0:09:43.200 to go. I looked into Ike West. There's not a 0:09:43.200 --> 0:09:46.720 lot about him online. Yeah, I wonder, I mean, we're 0:09:47.320 --> 0:09:51.080 Is it disparaging to say that she was a gold digger. No, 0:09:51.960 --> 0:09:58.080 yes it is. She undertook and carried out a project successfully, 0:09:58.200 --> 0:10:01.000 which is very rich guy. Right, But here's the thing, 0:10:01.040 --> 0:10:03.040 Like she could have married Saul West. He was rich. 0:10:03.120 --> 0:10:05.240 It's not like he didn't have access to the family fortune. 0:10:05.280 --> 0:10:07.680 He was the one of the I think two brothers 0:10:08.200 --> 0:10:10.600 who was in the good graces of the family. Yeah, 0:10:10.600 --> 0:10:13.000 so it's not like he didn't have an allowance, right. 0:10:13.440 --> 0:10:15.920 She apparently wasn't really happy with Saul West, so she 0:10:15.960 --> 0:10:18.920 went after I quest and it wasn't like just you know, 0:10:19.160 --> 0:10:21.520 picking the lowest hanging fruit, like she had to work 0:10:21.600 --> 0:10:23.640 for this, and she did. She like took this dude 0:10:23.640 --> 0:10:26.240 who was down and out in Mexico, living with his 0:10:26.280 --> 0:10:28.520 body gone down and out in Beverly Hills. No, that 0:10:28.559 --> 0:10:32.079 was Nicknulty, Yes, because his family kicked him out of 0:10:32.120 --> 0:10:34.720 the US to go live in Mexico and just basically 0:10:34.800 --> 0:10:37.040 do whatever you're gonna do. God knows what this guy 0:10:37.080 --> 0:10:39.360 did in Mexico. Yeah, but she went down there, like 0:10:39.400 --> 0:10:42.080 you said, um, cleaned him up, I guess, got him 0:10:42.080 --> 0:10:45.280 off drugs. And he must have thought, you know, this 0:10:45.360 --> 0:10:47.240 is this is great. This lady came all the way 0:10:47.240 --> 0:10:49.400 down here, My brother's girlfriend came all the way down 0:10:49.400 --> 0:10:53.480 here right to take care of me. Well, she definitely did, 0:10:53.640 --> 0:10:56.880 and he turned over a new leaf. He said, you 0:10:56.880 --> 0:10:59.680 know what, I'm I'm gonna come back to the United States. 0:10:59.720 --> 0:11:01.679 And I want to take the reins of this company 0:11:02.240 --> 0:11:06.480 that is rightfully mine and this is my wife and 0:11:06.600 --> 0:11:08.160 or my wife to be. I'm gonna ask her to 0:11:08.200 --> 0:11:10.640 marry me. And they got married. Yeah, so she cleans 0:11:10.640 --> 0:11:13.040 the dude up. They get married, and then first thing 0:11:13.160 --> 0:11:15.240 is she's like, okay, now we're moving to Beverly Hills, 0:11:15.280 --> 0:11:17.440 and I want a Ferrari And he bought her Ferrari, 0:11:17.559 --> 0:11:22.280 bought her the nineteen sixty four Ferrari America three thirty 0:11:22.520 --> 0:11:25.640 good car. And um, I looked and it's it was 0:11:25.679 --> 0:11:30.680 the Ferrari three thirty S n what chuck five zero 0:11:30.720 --> 0:11:33.160 five five? And I was like, what is S? And 0:11:33.240 --> 0:11:36.959 I can't see it? Yes, so I looked. There are 0:11:37.120 --> 0:11:40.880 so few of those made Ferraris, like these vintage Ferraris 0:11:41.080 --> 0:11:43.560 that they'll actually put the serial number after it. And 0:11:43.600 --> 0:11:46.040 the serial number is usually a very small number. It's 0:11:46.040 --> 0:11:48.000 not like one of these ones that they ran out 0:11:48.040 --> 0:11:50.319 of numbers, so they started using letters. It's like four 0:11:50.480 --> 0:11:53.000 five numbers usually, right, like my Honda Pilot. When they 0:11:53.040 --> 0:11:54.800 gave it to me, they were like, here's her Honda 0:11:54.840 --> 0:11:58.960 pilot serial number right eight zero nine slash a J two. Right. 0:11:59.600 --> 0:12:01.959 He just checked your wats in the middle of it. Yeah, 0:12:02.000 --> 0:12:03.520 I was like, that's the one I want. So they 0:12:03.559 --> 0:12:05.800 will actually like they they if you look, they'll look, 0:12:05.840 --> 0:12:07.880 they'll add the serial number after the name of like 0:12:08.080 --> 0:12:10.160 this specific car is what they're talking about. And they 0:12:10.200 --> 0:12:13.760 can do that because this particular Ferrari America, the nineteen 0:12:13.840 --> 0:12:16.359 sixty four that she had, was one of just fifty 0:12:16.480 --> 0:12:19.960 ever made. So it was a hot car right out 0:12:19.960 --> 0:12:23.800 of the gate. All right. So they're in Beverly Hills. 0:12:24.640 --> 0:12:27.360 He has health problems because he had that history of 0:12:27.400 --> 0:12:31.599 abusing his body. Um, he had some rapid weight fluctuations, 0:12:31.640 --> 0:12:34.000 which is never great for your health, and he ended 0:12:34.080 --> 0:12:37.640 up dying. Uh, in Las Vegas at the Flamingo Hotel. 0:12:37.679 --> 0:12:42.160 What a way to go under what is labeled here 0:12:42.200 --> 0:12:45.280 is mysterious circumstances. It's all it's labeled anywhere. I can't 0:12:45.320 --> 0:12:48.040 find anything out about it. I wonder how many people 0:12:48.720 --> 0:12:51.800 have died at the Flamingo Hotel under mysterious circumstances over 0:12:51.840 --> 0:12:54.480 the years whose family successfully covered it up. So that's 0:12:54.559 --> 0:12:57.520 a couple of shmows like us years and years later, 0:12:57.880 --> 0:13:01.760 forty fifty years later, can't find out what happened. Right, 0:13:01.840 --> 0:13:03.760 So how long were they married? Do you know when 0:13:03.800 --> 0:13:08.880 what year they got married? So I believe in nineteen Okay, 0:13:08.880 --> 0:13:12.359 so they were married a short four years. But nevertheless, 0:13:12.360 --> 0:13:17.760 Sandrow West became heiress to that. Yeah, she got Ike's 0:13:19.080 --> 0:13:21.720 claim to the to the company. His share went to 0:13:21.760 --> 0:13:24.000 her after he died. Right, And that's the thing, like 0:13:24.040 --> 0:13:25.720 you can you know, you can say what you will 0:13:25.760 --> 0:13:28.560 about you know, her setting her sights on the true 0:13:28.640 --> 0:13:34.120 heir him um living pretty fast, but they appeared to 0:13:34.360 --> 0:13:36.840 very much love each other. He left her his share 0:13:36.840 --> 0:13:39.680 of the family fortune. She took his last name. Um. 0:13:39.960 --> 0:13:42.440 She said that she when she filled out a will, 0:13:42.480 --> 0:13:45.400 she wanted to be buried in Texas next to her husband, 0:13:45.920 --> 0:13:48.199 not in Beverly Hills, where she was born and raised 0:13:48.200 --> 0:13:50.800 and spent most of her life. So they were like 0:13:50.840 --> 0:13:54.000 an actual real couple. Um. So I have the impression 0:13:54.040 --> 0:13:56.440 that when he died, like there was something missing for 0:13:56.480 --> 0:13:59.959 sure in her life, especially considering that she is round 0:14:00.200 --> 0:14:03.800 known as a fairly um, a lonely person. Yeah, it 0:14:03.880 --> 0:14:05.720 was like me and Emily. I married her for her 0:14:05.760 --> 0:14:10.960 dowry as the daughter of a Central Ohio um auto 0:14:11.000 --> 0:14:16.400 glass magnate. Right, but it's real you know that's right, 0:14:16.520 --> 0:14:19.280 So well maybe we should take what were you about 0:14:19.280 --> 0:14:22.320 to say? He's laughing at Auto Glass Magnate. That's what 0:14:22.360 --> 0:14:26.960 he does, Seneco glass. Everybody plug in father and lass company. 0:14:27.040 --> 0:14:29.160 Nice job. You need someone to come out and you 0:14:29.280 --> 0:14:31.800 had a tree fall on your window. Rick will take 0:14:31.840 --> 0:14:34.880 care of you. That's nice. That is nice. Uh. Which 0:14:34.920 --> 0:14:36.400 he's gonna be at our Cleveland show by the way, 0:14:36.400 --> 0:14:39.880 which is great. He should be. It's like right there, yeah, um, 0:14:39.920 --> 0:14:41.920 all right, maybe we should take a break because I 0:14:41.960 --> 0:14:44.120 see the words Ingelbert humper Dink in front of me. 0:14:44.720 --> 0:14:47.720 We'll come back and reveal the secret right after this? 0:15:09.800 --> 0:15:14.400 What secret? Well, she dated Inclbert humperdnk Okay yeah, after 0:15:14.640 --> 0:15:17.200 like West died, right, she basically made the scene. She 0:15:17.280 --> 0:15:20.600 became a Hollywood socialite. Yes. And I went to see 0:15:20.720 --> 0:15:23.360 him in concert when I was a little kid. Yeah. 0:15:23.360 --> 0:15:25.680 It was one of those like I always say my 0:15:25.680 --> 0:15:28.160 first concert was cheap trick because that was the first 0:15:28.240 --> 0:15:31.240 one that I paid to go see. But my parents, 0:15:32.000 --> 0:15:34.880 as much as they didn't like music, they weirdly took 0:15:34.920 --> 0:15:40.800 me to see Kenney Rogers uh Inclbert Humper Dink and 0:15:40.840 --> 0:15:45.120 I think Bobby Goldsboro. Those are the three shows that 0:15:45.240 --> 0:15:47.880 I have some faint recollection of being in the b 0:15:49.120 --> 0:15:51.880 Those are some good early shows. And my mom saw Elvis. 0:15:51.920 --> 0:15:53.720 I didn't go, but yeah, I think you told me 0:15:53.760 --> 0:15:56.440 that on that very last tour. I think that was 0:15:56.480 --> 0:16:00.640 in the grace Land episode. Probably so so us Angelbert 0:16:00.720 --> 0:16:03.280 Humperdink is one of the people she dated. She she 0:16:03.480 --> 0:16:06.200 made a name for herself dressing up as the Texas 0:16:06.360 --> 0:16:09.960 Rodeo Queen, wearing like fringe e stuff with Ryan stones 0:16:10.000 --> 0:16:12.520 and a cowboy hat. She went out to Rodeo Drive 0:16:12.600 --> 0:16:14.800 and we should we should say that she was like 0:16:14.840 --> 0:16:18.440 a genuine, legitimate died in the wool car enthusiast. Not 0:16:18.480 --> 0:16:21.360 only did she have that America three thirty, she also 0:16:21.440 --> 0:16:26.320 had a GTS. Uh no, I'm sorry at three g 0:16:26.440 --> 0:16:29.080 T and a Dino. Is it a Dino? Do you know? 0:16:29.360 --> 0:16:32.440 I think it's probably Dino, Okay, and a Dino. She 0:16:32.560 --> 0:16:36.920 had three Ferraris plus also a Stuts Blackhawk. If it 0:16:37.080 --> 0:16:40.080 is so, Elvis like that car a lot. Actually it's 0:16:40.120 --> 0:16:46.080 a It looks like a luxury land yacht married a 0:16:46.160 --> 0:16:49.200 muscle car and that's what came out. You should look 0:16:49.240 --> 0:16:52.400 at Elvis it's a neat, neat car, but apparently it 0:16:52.440 --> 0:16:54.920 got like eight miles to the gallon. Well that's also 0:16:54.960 --> 0:16:58.080 why I Alvis loved it, like two and a half tons. 0:16:58.680 --> 0:17:01.680 I don't want an efficient car, and and that's pretty good. 0:17:02.400 --> 0:17:05.120 Uh So, you know she would do crazy things like well, 0:17:05.160 --> 0:17:07.280 I mean, this isn't super crazy, but she would bop 0:17:07.320 --> 0:17:10.240 around town in that Ferrari and like go to the 0:17:10.680 --> 0:17:14.000 uh Chasen's and Beverly Hills in order of Burger to 0:17:14.080 --> 0:17:17.000 go and speed out of there in a Ferrari in 0:17:17.040 --> 0:17:20.440 her rodeo outfit. So she was sort of well known 0:17:20.480 --> 0:17:23.080 in town. Is a bit of an eccentric And by 0:17:23.280 --> 0:17:28.639 that I think we mean she like pills a lot. Well, sure, 0:17:28.720 --> 0:17:33.200 it's the seventies, so uh yeah, so she lived fast, 0:17:33.359 --> 0:17:35.320 but she had fun. I guess it's the way to 0:17:35.359 --> 0:17:38.320 put it right. The fast died young. She did die young. 0:17:38.400 --> 0:17:41.600 So in her America, she got into a car wreck 0:17:41.760 --> 0:17:45.320 and sustained some injuries and she seemed to be on 0:17:45.359 --> 0:17:48.600 the men she was getting better, but she from what 0:17:48.640 --> 0:17:52.240 I understand, she was given a nurse and a doctor 0:17:52.680 --> 0:17:57.520 to oversee her the drugs that she was taking as 0:17:57.520 --> 0:18:00.960 a result of the car wreck while she was mending um. 0:18:01.040 --> 0:18:03.840 And then one night I guess she had taken too 0:18:03.920 --> 0:18:05.560 much or else she got her hands on some mother 0:18:05.640 --> 0:18:09.800 drugs and she overdosed, apparently on codeine and barbiturous from 0:18:09.840 --> 0:18:13.920 what I saw, very sad. However, this is where the 0:18:13.960 --> 0:18:16.480 story gets a little strange. That that was in seventy 0:18:16.560 --> 0:18:21.480 seven when she passed, and in nineteen two, five years previous, 0:18:21.520 --> 0:18:24.840 she actually thought ahead of time and said, I want 0:18:24.880 --> 0:18:28.679 to be buried next to my husband. See in my 0:18:28.840 --> 0:18:33.439 late night gown by Porter Loring. It was I guess, 0:18:33.480 --> 0:18:38.679 just the the go to mortuary mortician, hot mortician in 0:18:38.760 --> 0:18:42.119 San Antonio. Uh, and I want to be buried in 0:18:42.200 --> 0:18:44.520 my ferrari with and this is a quote with a 0:18:44.600 --> 0:18:48.119 seat slanted comfortably. Yeah. She didn't want to be sitting 0:18:48.160 --> 0:18:51.600 straight up right for eternity, of course not. So here's 0:18:51.600 --> 0:18:55.399 the thing for her will to be carried out. It 0:18:55.520 --> 0:18:59.879 fell to her brother in law slash ex boyfriend, Saul West. 0:19:00.280 --> 0:19:03.119 Saul was not very amused by the prospect of having 0:19:03.160 --> 0:19:04.879 to do this. I'm sure he was like, are you 0:19:04.960 --> 0:19:08.480 kidding me? So? Um? After all this, Yeah, because not 0:19:08.640 --> 0:19:11.360 only is it bearing a ferrari, the other ferrars got 0:19:11.359 --> 0:19:14.359 auctioned off for ridiculous amounts of money. Some of her 0:19:14.440 --> 0:19:17.040 jewelry after her death was auctioned off for things when 0:19:17.080 --> 0:19:19.080 I think one of them is like three fifty grand 0:19:19.880 --> 0:19:22.600 in nineteen seventy seven dollars for one of her rings. 0:19:23.240 --> 0:19:25.840 Another one's like a hundred and fifty grand for another ring, 0:19:26.000 --> 0:19:28.200 and her ferraris were auctioned off. So her state was 0:19:28.240 --> 0:19:32.800 being liquidated. The idea of burying one of these cars 0:19:33.320 --> 0:19:36.480 with her, who I would guess he probably didn't like 0:19:36.720 --> 0:19:41.480 very much. Um, that was bad enough, but on top 0:19:41.520 --> 0:19:44.120 of it, this funeral was going to cost about fifteen 0:19:44.160 --> 0:19:48.119 thousand dollars in nineteen seventy seven dollars. So he went 0:19:48.640 --> 0:19:52.240 to a judge and said, this lady was wacko. There's 0:19:52.240 --> 0:19:55.040 no way I should have to do this, judge now. 0:19:55.680 --> 0:19:57.440 And the judge is like, all right, wait, we're gonna 0:19:57.440 --> 0:20:00.200 put a hold on all this. Let's put Ms His 0:20:00.280 --> 0:20:04.520 west on Ice in a mausoleum literally, and uh, we're 0:20:04.560 --> 0:20:07.040 going to start all this out. So they did. Yeah, 0:20:07.200 --> 0:20:11.000 So her position, Dr Raymond Weston Um had to testify 0:20:11.160 --> 0:20:13.720 and says, well, she was a bizarre woman for sure. 0:20:14.600 --> 0:20:16.959 Um and he described her as a psychotic with a 0:20:16.960 --> 0:20:20.840 tendency towards paranoia and hallucination. But the judge was like, 0:20:20.880 --> 0:20:23.400 you know, it really doesn't matter. If these were her wishes, 0:20:23.880 --> 0:20:27.000 then it's legally we have to carry them out. So 0:20:27.040 --> 0:20:30.920 the final ruling came down that yes, we are going 0:20:31.000 --> 0:20:33.800 to bury this woman in her ferrari, right, and by we, 0:20:34.080 --> 0:20:38.720 I mean you saw the judge was not so sol 0:20:38.800 --> 0:20:42.440 did it. He hired Porter loring as um as Sandra 0:20:42.520 --> 0:20:47.240 had had stipulated, and um they shipped the Ferrari out 0:20:47.320 --> 0:20:54.080 from Beverly Hills, UH to be outfitted with Sandra, who 0:20:54.160 --> 0:20:59.320 was wearing her lace nighty, put into the car and 0:20:59.359 --> 0:21:04.040 then put into a casket, an enormous giant casket, and 0:21:04.080 --> 0:21:07.560 then um taken by train out to the graveyard where 0:21:07.720 --> 0:21:10.840 a crane was waiting to the ferrari was in a casket. Yeah, 0:21:10.880 --> 0:21:13.080 they put the whole thing in a casket. Well I 0:21:13.080 --> 0:21:15.360 guess that makes sense, Sure it does. It's a big 0:21:15.359 --> 0:21:19.080 old casket, was it? The didn't Elon must send up? 0:21:19.080 --> 0:21:21.440 Oh no, of course that was a tesla right. It 0:21:21.480 --> 0:21:23.440 was like, wait a minute, wasn't there a ferrari in space? No, 0:21:23.560 --> 0:21:25.119 it's a test Yeah, that would have not make it 0:21:25.119 --> 0:21:28.240 any sense whatsoever. And it makes you wonder, like, who 0:21:28.280 --> 0:21:31.120 really is Starman? Which of his enemies was unlucky enough 0:21:31.160 --> 0:21:33.800 to be shot alive into space to die out there 0:21:33.840 --> 0:21:36.360 while the whole world was watching, you know? And that's 0:21:36.560 --> 0:21:38.600 because he's got a touch of super villain to him, 0:21:39.320 --> 0:21:42.000 you think, Yeah, we're just all very fortunate that he's 0:21:42.040 --> 0:21:44.760 not super villain because would be in big trouble if 0:21:44.760 --> 0:21:47.080 he want keeps it all in check. Sure, so the 0:21:47.160 --> 0:21:51.119 story very sadly sort of ended, although she got her wish, 0:21:51.160 --> 0:21:53.680 she didn't she didn't have like a lot of friends, 0:21:53.720 --> 0:21:56.800 like apparently the people that attended her funeral were her 0:21:56.960 --> 0:22:00.879 attorneys and nurses and doctors and stuff like that. Uh. 0:22:00.960 --> 0:22:04.199 So it was sort of a sad ending to this 0:22:04.280 --> 0:22:08.439 lady's wacky life to be buried in a nineteen ft long, 0:22:08.880 --> 0:22:13.399 ten ft wide, nine ft deep grave in her Ferrari right, 0:22:13.480 --> 0:22:16.520 which they filled with cement around so nobody could try 0:22:16.520 --> 0:22:19.560 to get or that nightgown. But she got her wish, 0:22:19.600 --> 0:22:24.400 her wish came true. Yeah, so happy ending, Sure, sad 0:22:24.480 --> 0:22:29.800 ending happy uh And apparently now there it is still 0:22:29.880 --> 0:22:33.960
