Not again...(Fast and Furious content)

I get a sick thrill from going into the local speed shop carrying my bottles.

"LOU!! I NEED TWO OF THE BIG ONES!"

Cars have been destroyed in car movies since the beginning of car movies.....

remember the original Italian Job?

The original Italian Job was awesome. New one wasn't nearly as good.

Watching that scene makes me cry.

The whole reason this disgusting piece of dog-squeeze is coming out is because I had to open my big berkeleying mouth and say I wanted a GNX. Now I'll never be able to afford one. To those of you excited about seeing the movie, you're welcome.

poop, unless you are already a fatcat, you can't afford a GNX anyway. (only 547 made) A nice, standard Grand National on the other hand can currently be had for around $15K.

Hopefully the Grand Nationals they wreck in the movie are just regular Regals made to look like GNs. It would be easy enough, just dip them in black paint, and bolt on GN wheels. Maybe add the hood bulge if they are interested in continuity. Yeah right......an accurate F&F movie!

I'd very much doubt they would destroy a genuine GNX. They didn't make many of them, and they are bona-fide collector cars.

So is there a market for making Regals into GN replicas yet like the one for replica 911Rs? There might be soon.

poop, you can't even afford a non-GNX Grand National anyway, and even if you could, you wouldn't man up and buy it, you cheap bastard.

...would've been sufficient.

The thing I like most about these movies is that all the cars are apparently fitted with a 16 speed transmission, and every Honda produces peak power at 2,000 RPM.

I see these films with a Bill and Ted attitude.

Apologize to Bill and Ted or I'll kick you in the nuts next time I see you.

I heard the Aston got restored. Don't know about the Jags though. The "Muira" that gets wrecked in the beginning was a sheet metal shell with barely enough parts on it to roll. If you pause the film at the right spot you can see right through where the engine is supposed to be.

Like how the "Challenger" that was wrecked in Vanishing Point was actually a Camero

Really? I thought it was a run of the mill Camaro

and the car in the Italian job they pushed off the cliff with the bulldozer was actually a Lancia

I'll be wondering around in the P71

Ooooh, tough choice! Do I wonder around in the RX-7 with the loud exhaust and racing seats and numbers on the doors or the ex-OSP P71 with push bumpers and a spotlight?

You, sir...are a man among lesser mortals...

I think the funniest part in all the films so far was when the charger blows the tires off the rims and at the same time does a wheelie...classic f&f and hollywood right there.

I fail at spelling

You and about 8 billion people on craigslist. You'd figure that at least the guy who's pics included a giant close up of the damn emblem would get it right! The saddest is the vanity plate that had it Camero, you'd figure somebody getting one would bother to look at his flipping registration paperwork!
