Are you a special McQueen fan or is it common knowledge?

It was auctioned a year or two ago, together with other McQueen's cars and memorabilia and this very photo was used in the press release and auction catalogue. So I guess it's probably more common knowledge then with other cars with famous owners ;)
It's not denial, I'm just very selective about the reality I accept.
