And how are you gonna get to work Mr Lead Foot, Mr Hot Rod, Mr Motor Head? Those cops took your license away. They got your name, your address. No they don't got my address. I falsified my renewal. I put 1060 West Addison. 1060 West Addison? That's Wrigley Field. or It's got a cop motor, a 440 cubic inch plant, it's got cop tires, cop suspensions, cop shocks. It's a model made before catalytic converters so it'll run good on regular gas. What do you say, is it the new Bluesmobile or what? or Oh no. What the fuck was that? The motor. We've thrown a rod. Is that serious? Yup. or It's slippin' a bit in third gear. Get me the 9/16th's and the Vise Grips!
Biker flick but still one of my favorite lines. From the "Wild One" Chick in bar: What are you rebellin agaisnt Johnny? Brando: Whataya got?

suprised no one has posted this yet, another clasic from AG: "why don't you shut up baby! you're gonna be begging for mercy when i get this thing rolling" bob falfa
Not a line per se, but one of my favorite scenes is when Robert Mitchum flicks the cigarette butt over and hits the guy in the other car during a chase. I also really dig the scene in Bullitt when the bad guy figures out what's coming next and cinches down his seat belt.
Not exactly a car movie but a cool car scene from Fast Times at Ridgemont High. The two teenagers were out thrashing in the younger teens older jock brother's Z-28. They wrecked the car and the younger kid panicked and kept repeating "my brothers gonna shit, he's gonna kill us" to that the other replied "Make up your mind dude. Is he gonna shit or is he gonna kill us?" "I can fix it, my brothers got the most awsome set of tools!"
The signature line I use is the only good part of "Stroker Ace". It's from the very beginning of the movie when Stroker and his buddy are kids riding with his buddies dad in the old Ford "shine" truck. As the law starts chasing them, the old man starts pounding through the gears... "You boy's better hold on cuz I'm gonna have to stand on it"
Does'nt Fonda also say to her "Shut up or I'll braid your tits"or something like that But my Favorite line from TLB Is GTO "what you trying to do blow my mind? "after he goes for a ride in the chevy
here are a few more qoutes from the blues brothers... Elwood: [after crashing the Bluesmobile in a car dealership] The new Oldsmobiles are in early this year! Burton Mercer: [to Trooper Daniel] Hi! Wanna hand me the mike? [Daniel gives him the police radio] Burton Mercer: Thanks a lot. [speaking in radio] Burton Mercer: Hi, this is car um... [to Officer Mount] Burton Mercer: What number are we? Officer Mount: Five-five. Burton Mercer: [to radio] Car 55. Um... we're in a truck! [chuckles nervously] ELWOOD: I think we blew a rod. JAKE: Is that serious? From days of thunder: Cole, you're all over the track. - He just slammed into me. He didn't slam you or bump you. He rubbed you. Rubbing is racing. - I've got to pit. - No, we're busy now. - We're eating ice cream. - Ice cream! You can come in and get one, but it wouldn't impress NASCAR. You have enough trouble riding around the track as it is.

James Cagney in "Public Enemy" while having his LaSalle parked: "Hey stoop! Dat ain't no Ford there's gears in there!"
I can relate to the scene where he drops off Jenny at her house "Mr Munn lives right around the corner. g'night." and a rolling burnout ensues past Mr. Munns house....Except mine was the mayor's place..lol I hope Im not alone when i say I really enjoy that movie. "It's got a 427 big block Dillon, one tough engine. Gave her a new cam, mags, headers, elephant carb. How long did you say this race was again?"
The best Cagney race car movie is "The Crowd Roars" (1932), best line comes from the actor playing his kid brother who is trying to quilify a new twoman Duesenberg Indy car. "Fred & Augie say it'll go, and that's good enough for me!"
