Bob Falfa: Hey you're s'posed to be the fastest thing in the Valley man, but that can't be your car. It must be your mama's car! I'm sorta' embarrassed to be this close to ya! John Milner: Yeah, well I'm not surprised, drivin' a field car! Bob Falfa: Field car? What's a field car? John Milner: A field car runs through the fields, droppin' cow shit all over the place to make the lettuce grow. (AG)
Hey Kid!! When I said you could go through my scrap pile, I didn't mean you could build your Whole fuckin car with it.!!!... Christine Thank god for those cranky bastards and their scrap piles!!!!
I love these 2 lines from "Used Cars" when that guy from Miami Vice test drives a '57 "Chev" from the lot to tries and make the owner have a heart attack from the wild ride he takes him on. "Let's see what this baby's constricted of!" then he takes off on the wild ride and does indeed induce a heart attack, so he rolls it back into a parking space on the lot (literally), the car is totally destroyed and says the following: "$2,500 old man? I dunno, I'll have to think about it.."
AG: "peel out...I just love it when guys peel out" "what do you got in there kid? more than you can handle" "drivin is a serious business" "come in ,i'll let you feel it,i mean,you can touch it if you want...okay"
"You'd find more liquor in a nun's habit then you would in that Lincoln" -Randy Quaid in MOONSHINE HIGHWAY
"I hate Illinois Nazis" -Blues Brothers " Disco-pants and Haircuts, this mall has everything"- B.B. "You got somethin' I can shoehorn a big hemi engine in and, you know, go fast?"- Hot Rod (That's my favorite scene in the movie) I've got a friend that always uses one of two responses when someone asks him what kind of engine he has in his car. "Stock Evenrude" or "Black and Decker aquarium pump" Some people get it, most just look at him strange. I don't remember which quote is from which movie, but one is from Hot Rod, and the other is from A.G.
Not from a movie but funny nonetheless. My mom and dad were at a street race and a friend of theirs was pretty wasted and their friend was yelling" I can feel the pistons" Everytime i see that guy around town its the first thing i think of. Any line from AG is perfect. My favorite... where's ya flathead. Ah ya mutha!
"Nobodys got the gold key to the shitter" and yes it was said but you gotta add.. "Good hands but bad taste in cars....Ya know Pepper, (pause) you can't polish a turd..." and " Look how cock eyed he works hes got brand new wipers for a busted windshield...." I watched that movie way too much in my youth.
"The first thing I'm gonna do do when I get home is punch yo mama in the mouth" "Gimme a diablo sandwich and a Dr. Pepper, I'm in a goddamn hurry" "Junior, you want anything" "Get me some hush puppies, daddy" "We ain't got time for that SHIT!" "What the hell is a texas county mounty doin' in Arkansas?" All from Smokey and the bandit
My favorite.... G.T.O.: Well, here we are on the road. The Driver: Yup, that's where we are all right.
That's from Hot Rod....and I seem to recall it being a 2 speed pump!! Surprised some of these haven't made it in the list yet.... Lightning McQueen: He's got three Piston Cups! Mater: He did what in his cups?
"It's just not performing, I've been up all nite with a timing light." Hot Rod I laugh everytime I hear that line.
Snowman:"Can you drive this thing?" Bandit: "I can drive any forkin' thing!" Frog: "Does this thing move?" Burt: "Oh yeah..." Gone in 60 (the new one) Raines: "good brakes...good brakes too!" certainly not a car movie, and totally inaccurate, but the scene is great: O'Hagan "what'd you find out at the weigh station?" Womack "my cruiser weighs 16,000 kilograms."
"I know what ya mean, I lost my wife too, but her name wasn't ID, and it wasn't in a flood" ---- AG Cop- "and Millner, the front end of this...this thing you're driving looks a little low." Milner- Oh no sir, its twelve inches, regulation size. Its been checked several times....you can check it if you like" --- AG
Smokey and the Bandit- Snoman: "is she wearing a wedding dress?" Bandit: " she WAS" Snoman: "what's she wearing NOW?" And- "seems like a legend and an outta work bum look alot alike, Daddy"
..."Condolini wants his hand back" Mad Max. I say that to my brother when he gets mad workin on his junk and it busts him up every time
OK you movie experts, help me out here. There are two movies that I've seen on TV a long time ago and I want to know what they are. Oddly enough, both involve a '57 Chevy. In the one, a 50's greaser guy dies and comes back to life to help some nerdy kid become popular. There was a scene where the greaser ghost guy and the nerdy kid are at a junkyard and the ghost guy fixes up a '57 Chevy convertible all magic-like. Anyone remember that, or know what it's called? The other one is even weirder, there's a high school guy who drag races for money, and somehow the school principal gets involved, and they need to win this race through town to win some money, but the drag racing mafia bad guys wreck the kid's Chevelle, so they find a '57 Chevy that apparently the prinicipal used to race when he was a kid, and they fix it up to win the race? There was also a part in that movie where they drive the '57 through a car wash and clean all the paint off of it so it's a different color, then a bunch of other '57's come out of the car wash to confuse everyone. I can assure you, I'm not on crack. I know these were movies, as bad as my descriptions of them are. Anyone know what I'm rambling about?
AG, I JUST LOVE THE FEEL OF TUCK N ROLL......... MAYBE WE CAN SEE THE GOAT KILLER I have this little vespa i kinda fool around with.. or clooney,, I dont want fop goddammit, I'm a dapper dan man!~
my favorites..... "We'll take em Toad...We'll take 'em" John Milner: American Graffitti "I'm dissapointed in our guys........You know, the guys on TV building the spider man and bullwinkle bikes.........I don't understand it........I guess, maybe they cant do it." Cole Foster: Mad Fabricators Vol. 1
