Default Flying Car Spotted at TIW

Sunday night a couple of the boys (names withheld to protect the
guilty) were celebrating late, for the 'morrow was a stand-down. Taking
the active in a blue Pontiac Grand-Am, they went roaring down the
runway at speeds in excess of 100 mph. Departing the north end of the
runway the car flew for 60 feet before touching down on the slope
toward Stone Way, where it rolled gently to a stop by the cyclone
fence. It would have helped, probably, if it had rolled on its wheels,
but instead it rolled down the hill sideways. At least the boys escaped
with "minor injuries," but the Grand Am was demolished. As the car took
off, one bystander could swear he heard someone in the car yell, "Gear
Up!"

And that is the absolute, unvarnished truth, mostly. And, yes indeed, I
would make fun of a friend. :-)

Tower: "Grand Am, do you plan to taxi back after that last full stop?"

Them Duke boys: "Good idea Tower. Please call one for us."

Any movie that gives you a 10 minute (single camera continuous shot) where
four good looking women talk about Vanishing Point (1971)

....is Best Picture(s) worthy in my book!

Grindhouse (2007) ....highly recommended!
