Just cool to see the old cars in the movies...although the movie might not be so good, the cars are cool!

I just watched this, never even heard of it before. "For the day" I guess it wasn't a bad movie?  :-\
I then watched California kid as I've never watched that one either. Killed an afternoon?

I was about 13 when I saw that movie.  That movie is what got me into old cars.  Have a copy on DVD.  Love it.

Yeah, just cool to see all the old cars.

I dunno, some of the new stuff is not so good unless it has some old muscle in it.  I gotta give credit to the newer cars, fast and handle well, but seeing a new Subaru STi in a movie doesn't do much for me. 

Like this movie is ok, got better when the main characters dad shows up at a red light in his Grand National vs an old '55 Chevy.

Funny I've never seen a whole Fast and furious movie either. I tried once but it was just too corny/dumb, bad plot line and bad acting imo.  :icon16:  I know being a car guy I'll be in the minority.....

Corny/dumb very true!  But that's what makes it light hearted, nothing dramatic.  Plus the cool cars makes it cool.  Besides, Vin Diesel drives some Mopars.  8)
