One of my favorite car chase/race scenes
« on: October 29, 2021, 01:28:13 PM »
King of the Mountain came out when I was in High Scruel.

Pretty sure my buddy and I cut school to go see this at the theater.

For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse. Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.

Clicked out at 3:08.

Could not suspend reality any longer.

The "reality:" should be that a school bus was doodling along in the oncoming lane and wiped out both racers and 27 kids.  Plus the innocent school bus driver.

Maybe that happened at 3:09, and the rest of it was  just cleaning up and packaging body parts for the Coroner to try to reassemble later.

But I'm sure they would never find the brains of the two racers.

Sorry about that, Ron.

Mr Majestyk, I think part of this ended up in a Ford commercial.

A plan is just a list of things that doesn't happen.
Is defenestration possible through the overton window?

Blues Brothers for the win,  with Smokey and the Bandit a photo-finish second.

There is no fixing stupid. But, you can line it up in front of a wall and offer it a last smoke.

There is no such thing as a "transgender" person.  Only mental illness that should be discouraged.

I will always hate traffic circles...
 
https://youtu.be/WJYOMFayruw
 
Back around 2016ish, I was mapping cell tower coverage. In some mid-sized cities in central Missouri, there are traffic circles. That aren't on maps - or at least they weren't on my often-updated Rand McNally trucker GPS...
 
It does not do nice things to a rental SUV when you curb-hop at 50mph...

One evening (we would map between 11pm and 6am), I got to play with a rental in an area I was familiar with near Lake of the Ozarks. Back road, gravel and dirt, twisty. And I had run it a few times... or a few more times, with a buddy who likes to tinker with fast cars. Which includes fast off-road cars.
 
I think I scared my cow-orker.
 
You don't need a steering wheel if you have an accelerator...
 
Another cow-orker just didn't understand the concept of mud-bogging... Back roads, a record rainfall spring, and... "Yeah, I can make that if I get a running start." He would insist on getting it washed before going back to his hotel.
 
Never had to walk or call in, except when I hit a couple of deer, and one black angus.

Ronin was fantastic.  As well as anything with a Frankenheimer car chase/race scene.

This is pretty good for real life- Ariel Atom on the Nurburgring. That is one fast course.
