I just got back from watching "The Last Stand" with Arnold and in there they have some cool car scenes.
The main car is a "highly customized show car version of a Corvette ZR1" with 1000 HP and they have several dirt road scenes where you can see the airflow characteristics of the car and I was amazed at how soon after the car the air streams joined. So if it works, then I like no matter how hideous it is to the eye I like it.
That's a huge statement from me. I've always preferred functional over just being pretty.
There's several scenes where the Vette and a Camaro are battling it out and you'd be amazed at how big the Camaro looks.
Intellectually you know all the new pony cars aren't really pony cars anymore, they are based upon full sized chassis, and therefore you think you realize they are bigger than the real thing, but seeing it this way really drives the point home.
Trompe l'Oeil, 'fool the eye'.
The high beltline and tiny windows, plus huge tires/wheels help to scale down the body bulk.
So what you're saying is, you like big butts and you cannot lie?

I find this far more entertaining than if Carguy had simply posted the next line of the song. Instead, I'm trying to imagine the song going like this.
Was Arnold upstaged by a car? Cause that would be awesome.

Haven't seen it yet, but I am betting he gets upstaged by most of the cast.

Yes, he was.
Arnold actually made a little fun of himself and his old movies. While it wasn't Macbeth it was a fun movie.
