    There are three pages of threads if you'll do a search for favorite movies.

    "The Lively Set" James Darren in a chrysler turbine car. Watch this after mowing the lawn, when you're too tired to move.

    I saw one late last night on a low budget channel , I think called "wild ride" ,(all right , stop laughing). Looks like it was made in the late fifties, and had Jack Nickolson playing some punk that was a race car driver. had some cool old sprint cars and hot rods.

    Hot Rod Gang is a good one...T-Bird Gang and Dragstrip Girl are a couple more.
    One of the coolest(more greaser than rodder) is Road Racers...HARD to find though.

    I think if I had Fran Drescher in the back of my car down to her ******* I would do the exact same thing Newbomb did.

    "Thunder Road" with Mitch Mitchum is quite possibly THE BEST movie in my opinion..souped up shoebox driven by a cool moonshiner tryin to outrun the law.good stuff!

    Even thought it's not technically a car movie, I've always loved WW and the Dixie Dancekings. I saw it as a kid at the drive-in with my parents...loved that '55 "Golden Goose" Oldsmobile.

    Some excellent hot rods in Attack of the Giant Gila Monster too.

    I hope it involves some quick surgury to her vocal chords so she can never make that annoying laugh again.

    Giant Gila Monster (great cars)
    Hot rod girl
    drag strip girl
    Hot car girl
    Hot rod gang
    Choppers
