Local autox group has a new sponsor, in a parts shop in Ottawa. They're offering sponsorship for tires, at a wholesale price. I'm getting in on it, and have been offered tires at $100 a pop for a 140tw tire. Looking forward to giving them a go.
Even if they suck, I suck more. All I hope for is that they last me the year. But, who knows since my work schedule is definitely going to have me off every single weekend so I'll be able to make it to every event. And for $55, you get 5 runs (plus just for fun runs, time dependant) with lunch included. Can't go wrong. Going to try and drag my fiancee to a couple so we can finally finish the debate of who's faster, at driving, that is. In other areas, we know that I am. |

I'm pretty sure it was originally intended to be a comedy, but someone took it way too seriously and it somehow evolved into an over-the-top action series. Also, if you watch anything beyond the original, just straight skip #2 (2F2F). It's simply bad. All the others are mildly amusing at the least.

this thread shifted course after the third post, and is now "suds and soapiest" http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=98755 but it's only going to make sense after seeing the first fast and furious movie.

i'd read ahead in the textbooks(and then they'd skip those chapters), and then hide crutchfield magazines in the books so i could read speaker, amplifier and head unit tech... i'm not a very good student the first and second movies, i watched on repeat any time i wasn't working. i believed knowing every techy line they said was important for a while(i did seriously try to learn what the difference was between the gallo 12/24 was until i caught up on the joke)... heck, i bought a 2001 eclipse in 2007, in some ways because it was in the 2nd movie... so i probably still take the first movie too seriously

If I were to skip any at all it would be TD since it try's to play off as a drama and fails horribly even as an action film. In reality all of them (especialy the first one) show the car culture and tech about as accurately as westerns show the old west, James Bond shows real spy activities and most war movies show combat.
