The thing I hated about the Fast and the Furious was how they f***** up those beautiful Buick Grand Nationals. The one thing that irks me most about any form of entertainment was when they destroy nice vehicles.
Yeah, those early F&F are painful to watch, like watching Radio Raheem adjust the Mic Mix slider and not the Volume slider in Do The Right Thing.Reli said:Fast & Furious had some cool aspects to it, but man that dude either doesn't know about cars, or just doesn't care. The script got at least 100 things wrong about cars and driving. Double-clutching when street-racing? Calling nitrous NAWZ? Being impressed by a "cool air intake" and an engine management system? Floor panels flying off? Tires breaking traction when you're already doing triple digit speeds? Using a Jetta for street racing?
That's OK, he'd probably have a nice new one, not a 12 year old one worth only $5-6KLasonic TRC-920 said:The bad guys who swiped her are driving a BMW (as bad guys do, no offense Reli).

Think I can shoehorn my 454 in there?Reli said:It's a 330
Euro car values sink like a rock, because they fall apart after the warranty and are too expensive to fix. Good bargain if you can work a wrench and you have a hookup in the parts business. Otherwise...….no.

Plus I think bad guys drive Tahoes, Suburbans, and Chargers now And they're more reliable than any European car, that's for sure.
I have a 2001 530i M Sport. I know too well how they "fall apart". It's definitely a love / hate relationship with that car.Reli said:It's a 330
