^Love the sig too. And, Blur, sorry for the quick hijack on this, but...

Rocket, we have a for sale/wanted section now. Post up pix of your wheels in there if you want a shot at some takers.

Regarding the movie... I can understand why they chose the Mustang. That era was an increadible selling point for Ford...hundreds of thousands sold w/ factories running 24/7 to put them out. That is basically an icon of American history. I know..I know...the corvette is too. Yes, it could have also gone w/ a Corvette. I remember seeing them look at the wrecked whatever-it-was out the back of the shop and saying the motor was still good.

There's tons of ways it could have went when rebuilding the car. Heck, they could have borrowed someone elses ride in the movie and tossed the engine in it calling it a day. But, they spent countless hours putting together an old "musclecar" to have a domestic/import type battle. Of course, they had an import heart under the hood, but tried to tie it all together.

I agree on many points you made...crashing their cars, why not just shoot the other guy (I'm in a Mob...of course I'll get away w/ it), etc. It's all just for the movie. At least we saw an old face at the end in a nice MOPAR. I prefer his ride from Part 1, though.

Actually, he's driving a Buick—GM, baby!

OOps. Well, it has been quite a long time since I've seen it. I could have sworn I remembered it as something else....oh well.
