#6  What I'd give to be an avg NASCAR driver. Make 15-20 mil a year, retire in 5-6 years and sit on my ass. Least I got the last part right.

#1  It's just as well - she's an average NASCAR driver involved in nearly every major wreck in a sport that's a) losing ratings and b) other career drivers (Kenseth, Dale Jr, Edwards who walked away last year) who are being replaced with drivers who'll accept 1/2 their salary.
