I wonder if this was Jim's Mustang?

That's part of the movie HWY I was refering to. The dialogue about Jim dying was obviously added later. That is a Shelby GT. The last part with the dying coyote's a little disturbing. The movie was filmed in and around Palm Springs.

Yeah... I knew somebody was going to go there the minute I posted that.

Obviously, Jim had no problems in that area either, but his lyrical reference was clearly about a stretch of highway....

Not sure exactly which highway, but there are probably several highways in the West that could fit the description.

Probably Mulholland. It's not far from the house on "Love Street". I checked it out weekend before last. The front of the house was burned but it's been redone. The little store on the corner is "where the creatures meet" in the song.

What a friggin' stalker...

You have a point there, lol

Since Elvis is on ignore I'll answer your post instead. What are sites like this for if they're not for "small talk". Is anybody learning how to become a brain surgeon here? I didn't think so. Elvis just likes to whine everytime he gets a chance. If I said shit stinks he'd whine about it. He's a serial whiner.

A lot of crazy stuff went on in Laurel Canyon in those days. Laurel Canyon isn't far from Ed's place. Jim also lived in Venice if I remember right.

Before he met Ray he was living on the roof of a house in Venice Beach. He lived in a hotel the Alta Cienega for years as well as an apartment in West Hollywood and the house on Love Street. It's really on Rothdell Trail right off Laurel Canyon. Just a ways up from Hollywood Blvd. Finding a recent picture of the house isn't easy but I found one. After the fire they stuccoed the front so it doesn't look the same as it did when Jim was there.

Well, if you gotta go on the internet for small talk, you got problems...

There are some who have this delusion of making big talk here... but it's really just mindless small talk with a little more enthusiasm!!

Just remember half of all people are below average...

I found this story about Jim's Mustang. If Steve McQueens Ferrari is worth 8 million dollars that Mustang's gotta be worth a few million too. It's one of the only things Jim ever owned. Here's a link to the story http://www.carbuzz.com/news/2013/6/1...GT500-7714885/.
