New Model, Original Parts. I liked that tagline, wish they were still using it!

I'm glad they decided to finally make a second F&F movie... while it's technical flaws were many, the first was a fun ride...

A second? Isn't this the third or fourth one?

The previews showed up last summer - http://www.apple.com/trailers/universal/fastandfurious/ . The latest issue of Hot Rod had a big article on the cars, as well - including a shot of an F Bomb replica doing a big wheelie on dirt. Looks like the release date is in a few weeks, explains the magazine article...

I enjoy the movies. They are pretty entertaining and it's always a blast to go see it on opening night, especially since all the good rice decides to come out of hiding. The parking lots of full of internet gold.

The fact that the trailer I've seen has a Grand National makes me happy. I still hate F&F but I always end up seeing them.

I want to know who's dumb ass idea it was to name it "Fast and Furious". Who the berkeley names a sequel by removing the word "The" from the original title? If someone makes a sequel of "The Last of the Mohicans", are they going to name it "Last of Mohicans"? berkeleying stupid.

Buick GNX, Dodge Charger (the supercharged 68 from the 1st movie but flat black), the F-Bomb Camaro, the Big Red Camaro, the Hammer (a silver GTX/Road Runner show car), 70 Chevelle SS, the FD RX-7, and the new GT-R are all in it. Should be a blast!

The guys from FM will probably go as a group on opening night. It's a cartoon!

I wish I could say I've never seen them but I own them all on dvd. I feel like on some level I don't have a choice.

It beat out "Faster and Furiouser" and "Look Who's Fast and Furious Now"

I unententionally watched part of the first one on TBS. I didn't mean too and as soon as I figured out what was going on I turned the channel.

That's not all...

Not that this would actually be a competition in real life.

screw that. . . I'm cruising in the Swift. It's loud. Wait, I'm missing a hideous bodykit, monstrous wang and I have no desire to street race other 16-second 4bangers. NEver mind....

I still feel that the Moderately Quick & Obnoxiously Annoying movies have degraded our hobbies to the point that there is no reality left. Kids see these movies thinking that they can go buy a hopped up (insert movie car here) and go racing on Fri nights. Then get themselves or others killed.

These movies are the epitomy of Hollywood stupidity and their ability to kill a great sport.

But they are entertaining...

Our hobby doesn't consist of street racing, but it has sparked local/national media to someone look down on any type of modifications to cars and racing in general.

However, if this movie is like the first one it should be a little boost for the economy. Everyone will want to go and buy random ass car parts and get work done for no reason just so they can be like Torreto.

You should also have the piece of mind to know you aren't a dumbass 16 year old with a fart can and F1 spoiler, so why would you associate yourself with them as far as "sporting" goes?

I'm not about to race any of them.... it's just funny how quickly they get riled up when someone calls them out while driving an extremely clean mostly-stock looking civic. When under the hood there's a 220whp+ beast of an LS Vtec.

I HAVE been able to convert people in the past, as an aside. "Yeah, well, looks like YOUR car is stock! That your mom's whip?"

"Ok.... come take a quick ride."

"OH HOLY CRAP MAN, how can i do that?!@?!?!"

And the education starts. The worst offenders here are Hondas, much like anywhere. It only takes one ride in a proper B-series dual cam to convert anyone with half a brain.
