Yeah but Fargo was loosely based on a true story was it not? Also I’m a big fan of most anything the Coen brothers put out.

Smokey and the Bandit on the other hand is just some rednecks’ wet dream. LOL!

If it wasn’t for Jackie Gleason that movie woulda REALLY sucked.

:: Dennis and Kyle Mecham decided to do something about the Trans Am 6.6-liter V8’s ::

NO SALE!
Any car from the 70s that advertises itself in \liters\ is pisoshito.

I get a kick out of the conversion/"tribute" models.

When he went by the local hangout you could see the white headers below the car and with the blue paint and Cragars I thought it was the coolest car I had ever seen.

I thought this was the coolest car I'd seen in those days. Used to pass the Porsche dealer when this was in the window: https://www.rennbow.org/porsche-colors/LimeGreen

As a child I had a matchbox car version

“Well I’m holding out for a 1973 TA with the 455 Super Duty engine, not that I can afford one, but I’m gonna dream big.”

I like the way you dream. Can you afford an ‘89 Turbo TA?

A classmate’s older brother had one of these in the late ‘70s. Older brother let the younger brother drive it occasionally. He was invited to race a late ‘60s muscle car one night. He lost.

You must have a mustache to buy the car.

Jackie was an amazing entertainer, bar none!

My favorite Coen brothers movie is their very first, ‘Blood Simple.’

Also love ‘Raising Arizona’ and ‘Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?’ are great, too.

fake sports car

[Red Badger]

Mine was a weird one, 6 cyl, manual transmission, manual windows, no power seats, plain AC and radio, as basic as you could get. I loved that car!...................

Most nights my thoughts turned to Ed. I could see a brighter future ahead 8- 16 months away.

[Diana in Wisconsin]

Need to add that one to the list...
