Lightning

At least as of a few years ago, General Steve Ritchie, the last USAF fighter ace (all 5 of his kills were MiG-21's), was appearing at air shows in a privately owned and funded F-4C or D made to look like one of the ones he piloted with MiG kills and all. 320129[/snapback] neato! you know what was kinda neat about the pre -4D's, even though they didnt come with the internal gun? You could mount TWO gunpods on the dang thing instead of one! (although I have yet to see a pic of one with that loadout)

too bad you couldnt swap a V8 into the mustang with the GT parts without voiding the warranty....

who's Chris Walken? (I'm serious)

paint the SoB in red with white stripes and I'd fly it!

I miss the F-4......kinda funny it can still outrun half the new planes out there. is there anybody at all still flying them? Can civvie pilots fly them w/o the weapons on them?

just the VF-1 this time? oh well..........they finally put the Heavyarms in!! YES!!!

gas has to come down sometime soon, right? of course they could always run cars on alcohol, it would be a lot more cheaper, give us more MPG, and burn cleaner!

I vote for Misa all the time.

well, I'm going opposite direction with my car....the brick. I've started a new pizza delivery job about 3 weeks ago, but my car hasnt started to eat too heavily on my pay (yet). I found a POS car just like the one I had when I was 16, but this ones a stick (thank god), and for $200 it's not too bad, I just hafta try to save the money for it. Anyhow, back on topic (somewhat), since my car only gets 13 MPG (combined), I figured I'm not going to lose any more MPG by going with a bigger/more powerful engine, heck, It might gain me a couple MPG. I'm gonna shoot for the 400-500 RWHP range, and go slaughter me some Mustangs and Imports.

I wonder who voted for A1?

kinda nifty actually. I didnt know a model of the Integra was being produced at all.

Sweet ride, myk. Are you gonna slap on the Confederate flag and '01' decals? 319248[/snapback] God I hope not, there's enough Gen Lee clones out there as it is! Just 'cause it's a orange Charger doesnt mean it HAS to be a General Lee.

well, I guess you can't really bash any of the big three hunh? then again, you're more entitled to since you own em all!

I'm a Charger nut as well, but they only used about 25 Chargers for the movie. And quite a few were jumped more than once. there were only 3 huge jumps that totaled a car, and the bodyshop rewelded it back together to be used again! the cable jumped cars (nearly all the jumps in the move) were engineless and driverless. The cars they used were from a dealership that is well known to sell bondo-ed Chargers barely worth restoring! The Chargers are out there, it's just that people are actually holding onto them now. As far as that "rally" jump goes, that was actually the first jump in the movie, they rewelded and fixed that car to be jumped again as well! So before you start cursing out WB for doing the movie in the first place, DO SOME F-ING RESEARCH!!!! sorry for the rant. 318233[/snapback] 25 cars? That's a damn lot of cars. Were any of them usable after shooting? I think it would have been a real waste if they were all ruined, and none had survived. I didn't do research on this movie 'cause it doesn't strike my fancy. I happen to think it'll be a shi--y picture, and I'm not interested in seeing it. If somebody else wants to see it, so be it. Free country. 318313[/snapback] the ones that were'nt driveable were reused for interior shots on the next movie, except for one, the jump onto the highway stunt car (they used about 3 cars to get that one right), anyways that one went to the guy that sold them the car in the first place, he's gonna try to fix it to use for car shows. when I said 25 cars, I didnt mean that all 25 were totally destroyed, just 3.

I seriously doubt it, anything that dodge makes these days HAS to have the F-ing crosshairs on it...."brand Identity" they call it.......they start looking like trucks in the front after a while, just look at the new Charger...

I hope DCX doesnt F-up the Challenger....

y'all remember VF5SS?? those LV comics were a hoot!

maybe we can have a Halo movie?

so do you like it so far?

NOOOOOOO ... 317223[/snapback] Search your feelings, you know it to be true. 317307[/snapback] NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Car selling/buying thru the ages, from 1950-current: 1950's: Salesmen: "look at all the options you have for such a low price!" Mechanics: "the hell? options? oh, you mean those switches over there! ....these things are tunaboats with tiny V8's!!" 1960's: Salesmen: "these things will fly! don't forget the optional air conditioning and cruise control!" Mechanics: "Hot Damn! these things are easy to work on and easy to make em faster! WTF is Cruise Control? who needs A/C?" 1970's: Salesmen: "dont worry about a thing people, these things will definately save you money in the long run on gas, look at how easy it is to park!" Mechanics: "MPG? WTF is that? <Gas Crisis I & II hit> Damn! all these F***ing vacuum hoses are in my way!" 1980's: Salesmen: "Check out our new computer controlled fuel injection! you can easily get 30 MPG while still running your A/C!" Mechanics: "The HELL is this? Computers? since when were they small enough to put in a car? WTF are these wires all over my engine bay?!" early 1990's: Salesmen: "Come buy our <insert minivan name here>! you can fit <insert #> of people in here comfortably!" Mechanics: "....we used to fit that many people in our '50's cars, you crazy salesmen!" late 1990's-Current: Salesmen: "Ride high with our new, bigger <Insert SUV name here>! Dont forget to test drive our <raped historical musclecar name here>!" Mechanics: "The hell (part III)?? first you B**ch that you need MPG and now you come out with these things? Hey, didnt that used to be a musclecar?.....you call that a musclecar? you gotta be kidding!!" kinda strange how everything goes full circle, isnt it? If we keep this up, we'll be hitting "Gas Crisis III, IV, V, and VI" soon.

at least you didnt get the Charger... Did you get the AWD option?

I'll take mine with a low-comp Dodge V8 NASCAR Cup engine.

When anti-gravitons are discovered, we'll let you know. 316207[/snapback] They kinda were, watch the first episode of SDF Macross TV.
