@SundaySunday: Nah, not Rio. Nice. But yes, there were two very similar cars in the game.

Not as bad as the green-with-random-white-frame-thingy Vermont plates, but still ugly and pointless. #licenseplates

See? The Mustang can handle! Watch it make left turns all day long!

People watch MSNBC?

Redline. Worst. Movie. Ever.

Mom's cars, in order:

@mr_dude: I'd have to say neither. The movie was terrible, the chase was a joke, the special effects were awful. But I quite like the car. I'd take the new Eleanor over the original, but I'll sit down and watch the original long before I'll watch the remake.

At least it's going to live. But the Pontiac version is and always will be better looking.

Best burnout I ever did was in my dad's '71 GMC stepside truck, which at the time had a 3 on the tree. And it was in reverse at the time. Oops.

@blueplate: Please. Gran Torinos are at least desirable.

For that kind of money I would have hoped it was a real car. The plywood-and-Erector-set undercarriage is a wee bit discouraging (just like the Camaro concept I saw at an auto show once, where the 'booth professional' insisted it was a real car despite having visible chicken wire under the rear bumper, plastic windows…
