We watched this not long ago and it was pretty fun.  This may be "off topic" but it I think it qualifies as a car movie.  There's a pretty bad ass Lincoln Continental which isn't your typical hero (muscle) car.  Even more unusual, they don't wreck it out – which I have to applaud.  Worth a rental for sure.

havent seen the flick, but I read somewhere that the Conti is actually the star's (whatever his name is, he's banging that hot blonde chick from Forgetting Sarah Marshall) personal car - which explains why they don't wreck it.

You are correct, Both the Continental and the Off Road Buggy belong to the Director and actor in the movie, Dax Shepard.



And yes Dax's Fiance is Kristen Bell.

Dax admitted though that he would rather have let his costar Bradley Cooper make out with his Fiance that drive his Continental. And because of such Dax did ALL the driving in the Continental, no stunt drivers and no CGI.

Here is a video of Dax talking all about his car!

ok movie, but they wanted the actors to be the stars and not the cars, hence didnt make much money at the theatres.

I thought it was a great movie and a great first for Dax (written and directed by). I also really love the fact that he used his own cars and did his own driving. Kind of had a less destructive H.B. Haliki feeling to it. I think it will be cool to see what he comes up with next. He's actually one of my favorite actors.

Lady Lincoln is a pretty bad ass car for sure.

Don't recall saying he is my favorite, said he is ONE OF my favorite actors. You also gave me a lot of shit over Green Day being my favorite band. I don't see how it really matters to you who I like or don't like. Just sayin....

Remind me to not let Ponch pick out the movie next time. :nana: Sean Connery isn't on the list :popcrn:  I'd get rid of few on the list though. :eek2:


I wouldn't mind watching Hit and Run at least once.  Will it drive me to drinking?
