Don't say that snow word!! We had our first this morning too but it was above freezing so it only stayed on cod surfaces like car windows.

Too many movies to list but 3 of my favorites are

Used Cars
Planes Trains and Automobiles
Tommy Boy

We have had a WEEK of it now !!! . . . temps yesterday morning (with windchill) were -4F !!! . . . . BRRR . . . probably about 10" of snow everywhere !! . . . Crazy, we usually get some kinda snow before halloween, but not like this, or this cold !!! . . . at least this week the temps are coming back up to close to normal (approx. 55F) . . . probably melt a lot of snow, but still have some for Halloween . . .

Yeah, 5" at my place, then freezinass wind from Canada, currently about 25 or so...
That's about 6 weeks ahead of normal; it also apparently surprised the trees (still leafy) & the deer, as they haven't eaten my plants yet.
Supposed to be decent in a few days, though.

Top Gear re-runs never get old.

Mad Max Fury Road is the most intense car movie I have ever seen. Highly recommend.

The re-make of Gone in Sixty Seconds with Nicolas Cage is very good.

Ford vs. Ferrari

Yes, the snow thing. Was just on the Sport Bike not long ago, might get one more ride in if a heat wave comes. Otherwise, "climate change" rolleyes is early here too.

Pit Stop - lots of scenes shot in the George Barris shop, Anson Wheels warehouse, Santa Anna circle track, etc. There are scenes shot in junkyards and early dune running in Pismo, too. They didn't have a big budget so they shot lots of real places. It's a hidden gem. Oh, and Sid Haig. Can't miss a movie that features Sid Haig

Well Summer weather here. T-Shits Shorts and a saw a 30 something with her friend power walking in what she thought would pass for a Top Hoochie Mamma Shorts.
But the 3rd Hurricane is going to hit Louisiana the season but have a brand new generator that will poser the home and a propper transfer switch wire into the meter panel. and 6 months of food as well as things to keep it and everything else safe.
I hate snow. but it looks great on TV!

if you like car crashes.
don't miss Gone in 60 seconds and the sequel the junkman.
they jump a car over a flying airplane in this movie. i don't think the car actually went over the airplane but the camera angle it appears to fly over the airplane.

Utube trailer for the junkman.

they do wreck a nice looking magnum XE in this clip. also car jumping over the airplane is in it. 7:30 min long
some car crashes from the junkman

Destiny Turns On The Radio, not a great movie but the opening starts out with a (mocked up Sport Satellite ?) as an A12 Road Runner complete with the promo wheel discs. Quentin Tarantino tells the escaped convict he finds out in the desert and gives a ride to Vegas that it's a '69 440 4-speed with a lift of hood shock up So it starts out with some somewhat correct car guy info........but then the passenger says "My buddy had one just like this but his was a '68" frown That was a bummer BUT later in the film his buddy screams at him "That was my car ! " They didn't make the Road Runner with a 440 in '68 !!!" Then his buddy proceeds to run off the CORRECT PRODUCTION NUMBERS for a '69 A12 coupe/post Road Runner with a 4-speed. and I fell off of the couch in shock that the info was SPOT ON up Now this was back in 1995 when I saw it and when it was filmed. I have it recorded in bad quality VHS and have been trying to find it on a DVD or digital format.

The trailer..................with the promo wheel discs up

John THANK YOU, THANK YOU for the link up beer up I watched the beginning until the RR tail lights are headed to Vegas and then FF to the 20:00 minute mark to catch the " It was my car, Plymouth only made 615 coupes and 388 of those were 4-speeds"..................Pretty good for a 1995 movie.

Thanks again John up


Mike
