Sorry 4 Headlight Guys... Another '70 bites the dust

If you haven't seen the trailers for the movie coming out 'Jack Reacher', but a '70 (kind of looks like Rick's old one...) buys it but looks and sounds good doing it.
I'm not a big Tom Cruise fan, but I've read one of the Jack Reacher books, and it should be a decent action flick.

Been seeing those previews for a while now. I'll go see the movie just for the Chevelle even though it looks like it gets destroyed. :(

Hollywood knows what cars people want to see. Two headlight cars wouldnt sell any tickets.

Or they know they would have a riot on their hands if they started destroying the attractive cars.

He could catch the bad guy quicker with a two headlight car however the movie would only last 30 minutes. How would that work? Heck, you’d still have half your popcorn and 2/3 of your soda left and the darn movie would be over; no Hollywood’s all glitter, they needed a Lindsey Lohan kind of car with more headlights than power.

You guys are sure going to be surprised when you pick up your cars next spring and they've all been converted to 4 headlights... even the Mustang. :D

I'm cool with that. The cool cars have 4 headlights AND 4 taillights anyway.

My wife and I went and saw Jack Reacher this afternoon, and not too bad a flick. It helped that I had already read one of the Jack Reacher series books to understand the main character. There was a pretty good bar fight scene, and I'll leave it at that in case anyone is going.
I hated to see the Chevelle get trashed, but it was a pretty cool chase scene, and the manual shifting big block audio actually sounded pretty darn good. Only bad thing in the chase scene is that the driver kept over reving the clutch and breaking the tires loose all the time when trying to outrun an all wheel drive Audi A4. I guess only car guys will notice that...

First movie we have been to in several years. Pretty good one. You didn't notice the first time he drove it down the hill, it auto shifted! I always remembered Burt Reynolds in "Gator" had a huge four speed shifting chase scene and he slapped it in park when he got out (column shifter no less).
