" and for further proof, watch "the fast and furious"
Puleeeeeese, I'd rather watch paint dry than to see a bunch of morons do
stupid things in stupid looking street cars that hide themselves under faux
racing wings and airdams and of course those stupid lowering kits and 18"
wheels.
I saw, and unfortunately heard, the promos for the movie on TV and I barfed
at the few cliched lines I heard.
Although Vanishing Point wasn't much better at least they didn't gaudy up
the Challenger/Baracuda with wings and all that other crap.
