Two-Lane Blacktop

Those are probably my two favorite car movies of all time. The plot pretty much takes a backseat to the cars, drivers and the stuntwork.

Deathproof is the only real modern equivalent, more of a homage to the stuntmen who made those movies back in the day.

Vanishing Point

Easy Rider

In HS we worked on a friends various Chargers. he would get the repos from a Dodge Dealership. One was a repo from a bank robber who used it as a gettaway car, 383. Very, very fast.

We would race at LaPlace drag strip in LA.

He was also on the Motor Cross Circuit with Husqvarnas.

He has a 1962 Impala SS 409/4/4 that he let me drive. I let him take my MM down the track.

When he grew up we worked on his Harleys. I got to drive the first turbo Harley in the State. He owned one of the Harley Dealerships in the area and another friend owned another Harley Dealership in the area.

I still keep in touch with them.

Deathproof is pretty much making fun of the modern world and modern film making. That's what makes it so much fun. It has an awesome car chase that few understand.

Watch the chase on the highway carefully, they are pointing out how lame modern cars are when you see two classics bashing each other to bits.

I can go on and on about this one too. I still playing with putting the Death Proof logo on my hood.

Vanishing point is an excellent movie about ptsd. I felt exactly like kowalski after coming back from Afghanistan. It's hard trying to fit into mainstream society and all i wanted to do was find the next adrenaline rush to remind me that i was still alive.
