Car related but from non-car movies A Japanese guy (that learned to speak english by watching Howard Cosell) challenging John Cusack to a drag race in "Better Off Dead" : "Truly a sight to behold. A man beaten. The once great champ, now, a study in mop-ish-ness. No longer the victory hungry stallion we've raced so many times before, but a pathetic, washed up, aged ex-champion." And later, when he beats them in his restored Camaro. "Is there a problem officer?" Young James Tiberius Kirk after he trashed his step dad's Vette, Star Trek
It was that 'high-rasp' sound of a voice in doubt: Dennis Weaver's 'voice', only in 'thought', as we heard it. John Boy Walton used a crescendo like that, so did Nicholas Cage 'til lately. I had a brother that sounded like that when he lied.
This is from My Cousin Vinny D.A. Jim Trotter (Lane Smith): Now, Ms. Vito, being an expert on general automotive knowledge, can you tell me... what would the correct ignition timing be on a 1955 Bel Air Chevrolet, with a 327 cubic inch engine and a four-barrel carburetor? Mona Lisa Vito (Marisa Tomei): That's a bullshit question. D.A. Jim Trotter: Does that mean that you can't answer it? Mona Lisa Vito: It's a bullshit question, it's impossible to answer. D.A. Jim Trotter: Impossible because you don't know the answer! Mona Lisa Vito: Nobody could answer that question! D.A. Jim Trotter: Your Honor, I move to disqualify Ms. Vito as an expert witness! Judge Chamberlain Haller (Fred Gwynne): Can you answer the question? Mona Lisa Vito: No, it is a trick question! Judge Chamberlain Haller: Why is it a trick question? Vinny Gambini: [to Bill] Watch this. Mona Lisa Vito: 'Cause Chevy didn't make a 327 in '55, the 327 didn't come out till '63. And it wasn't offered in the Bel Air with a four-barrel carb till '64. However, in 1964, the correct ignition timing would be four degrees before top-dead-center. D.A. Jim Trotter: Well... uh... she's acceptable, Your Honor.
