Hell I remember that movie, I didn't know it was the Jack Calori car. Another good old one is a Jimmy Stewart (?) movie called the Falconer Story. At one stage he pulls into a gas station in the middle of nowhere and there is a kid there with a stripped down jalopy. Kid says - 'It'll do 80 on the straightaway!' - always loved that line...

The movie with Clint Eastwood and Charlie Sheen about "car jacking", i can't remember the name. Clint said: "The true deffenition of a criminal is some one who whould take a fine piece of machinery like that, and paint it that ugly color." talking about the neon lime green Lotus Esprit...

Hello, The first movie you asked about is called The Heavenly Kid dated 1985 with actors Lewis Smith and Jason Gedric, of Iron Eagle fame. This movie to me has a sucky plot but the Chevy to me was worth the watch!! Actually sparked my love for '57s!! It is available on DVD. The second movie I would like to know myself, possibly called Shutdown, heard of but never seen it. Here's a third one for you---check out 1977's Thunder and Lightning, David Carradine chases bad moonshine in a black '57 Belair 4 door hardtop, with many fine car chases!!! It is also on DVD. Hope this is of some help to you!! John Hiles

I said, do you think they give a damn about their bills in Russia? Otto: They don't pay bills in Russia, it's all free. Bud: All free? Free my ass. What are you, a fuckin' commie? Huh? Otto: No, I ain't no commie. Bud: Well, you better not be. I don't want no commies in my car. No Christians either.

Joe: I got an idea I got a crazy idea... Joe:Get down! OK now, you got it? I'm staying here, you're on your own. Curt: Wait a minute, wait a minute, Joe, wait a minute. What if he hears me? Joe: Shhh. Listen, listen! Look at it this way. Now, you got three choices. One, you chicken out and in that case I let Ants tie you to the car and drag you around a little bit and you don't want that. Curt: No. Joe: Two, you foul up and Holstein hears you and, well uh, you don't want that, right? Curt: No, I don't. Joe: Three, you're successful and you join the Pharaohs with a car coat and a blood initiation and all that, huh? [Pats Curt on the shoulder and runs back to the car] Curt: What? Wait a minute, wait a minute. What blood initiation?
It goes like this: I lost my wife too. Her name wasnt Hiedi though, and it wasnt in a flood. See the bum thinks Toad said Hiedi, not ID. One of my favs is Toad after ralphing behind a car.

You're in the backseat. CHAZ
