He did all his own driving stunts and, apparently, was better than most stunt drivers. RIP.

Yes, many often forget that Garner did many of his own driving and some other stunts too. God, he was so talented on so many levels.
Happiness must be earned.

He also was a very good rider, and did his own stunts on horseback.
He not only did his own driving for Grand Prix, but he invented a driving stunt. Ever see him back away from a roadblock on Rockford Files, spin the car 180 degrees, and accelerate away without ever stopping? Yeah. They call that maneuver a 'Rockford'.
