    Cool. I thought we would have to endure the dreaded ''chick flick''. As a teen, taking girls to them often earned at least second base.

    THis is one of the very best car guy movies. You won't be disapointed!
     
  5. It was good, a little hokey, but lots of great cars.
     
  6. I like this one. Cool cars. :)

    What other movie do you get to see them rebuild an Offy? And the old school "slap her up to make her fall for you" Haha.

    I like the “soft spots” reference.

    Yes, the Offy rebuild is worth watching the rest of the movie, way cool!

    This movie and "The Big Wheel" made a year earlier are ones I can watch over and over. I like the part when Clark Gable comes in the pits after hot laps, and one of his crew guys stuffs a cigarette in Clark's mouth, before he can get out of the Midget.

  12. "To please a Lady" was later re-released in 1954 as "Red Hot Wheels".

    DVRed it. Just finished watching it. Yes, the Offy rebuild is great. What does it say tho that I have older machinery in my garage than they were using during that scene?
