Exotic Cars Destroyed By Hollywood

Exotic Cars Destroyed By Hollywood

Hollywood has become synonymous with high-action blockbusters, heartwarming dramas, tear-jerking love stories…Oh, and it just so happens to be the place where the destruction of unique cars takes place often. Wouldn’t it be great if your expensive car turns into a movie star?
Hollywood is sometimes facing a lot of criticism for destroying classic American muscle cars and trucks. However, the same has become a trend in the exotic car world too. I knew this would happen when “Driven” came out in 2001. 
The movie showcased some high-speed cars, but the car would spin out of control and crash at the end of every famous track scene. I knew back then that directors would try to duplicate this and haven’t been disappointed. 
We all know that Hollywood is far away from reality. For today’s blog, We thought of an excellent little write-up to share with the readers about cars that have been destroyed in Hollywood movies.

The History Of Exotic Car Destroyed By Hollywood

Since the dawn of cinema, car chases and their inevitable destruction have been a staple of Hollywood films. The silent picture Runaway Match, released in 1903, is the first car-centric picture. With its debut in 1912, Mack Sennett’s Keystone Cops presents an idea of the horseless carriage pursuit.
In 1928’s Two Tars, Laurel and Hardy were among the first to address the unsettling consequences of traffic jams and road rage, with the lads progressively demolishing a line of automobiles in festering acts of irritation with their unhappy motorists.
Filmed vehicle chases and car destruction have since become a mainstay of cinema, with films such as Bullit (1968), The Blues Brothers (1990), and the Fast and Furious franchise (2001) pushing the boundaries of destruction.

Most Expensive Car Destroyed In a Movie By Hollywood

During the film “Furious 7,” a Lykan Hypersport from W Motors becomes popular for a stunt and destruction during the scene. This car is the most expensive car ever destroyed in a movie. The Lykan Hypersport is an exclusive vehicle from the Dubai-based firm, with an engine capable of producing 750 horsepower and 738 pound-feet of torque, allowing it to go from 0 to 62 mph 2.8 seconds.

In Furious 7, did they crash a Lykan HyperSport?
The answer is a resounding no. The Lykan Hypersport is a one-of-a-kind car with a limited manufacturing run. With a price tag of 3.4 million dollars, they only manufactured 7 of these. The fact that it has diamonds in the headlights contributes to the price.
Fast & Furious 7 featured a vehicle that looked like a Lykan Hypersport. It was a version that specifically came into existence just for the film. They only made a couple of these for the film. The filmmakers were still expensive, but it didn’t blow the budget for just one automobile. It was just a shell.

Now, look at these most exotic cars destroyed in Hollywood movies.

  1. 1969 Mercedes-Benz 280SE Cabriolet

 

This bachelor party destroys the groom’s father-in-1969 law’s Mercedes, revealing everything about the father-in-law. That movie depicts the type of person who today owns these antique cars: well-off, middle-aged men. That automobile was worth a good amount of money when The Hangover was made. It was initially for sale for $95,000.

   2. 1946 Ford Super DeLuxe Convertible

The destruction of this classic car made the audience cheer in this movie as there was a classic car chase scene that features Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox) on the run from Biff Tannen (Thomas F. Wilson) and also his band of thugs was purely timeless.
The car belonging to Tannen was a 1946 Ford Super De Luxe convertible with a 292 flathead v8 engine. The price tag of this car is around $89,900-$100,000. Undoubtedly, it was nice to look at that piece of art and it was on public display at the Universal Studios for many years but was sold to a private collector in 1996 and now resides in Wisconsin.

    3. Lamborghini Murcielago LP-640 

In this 2008 episode of the “Batman” franchise, Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale) was affluent enough that he probably didn’t mind wrecking his Lamborghini Murcielago. You have to drive a Lamborghini if you want people to notice you because they always have the most extreme styling. This has always been the craziest car. Lamborghini Murcielago cost more than $315,000.

    4. Lamborghini Huracán

“You need to purchase a Lamborghini if you want to show off your money to the world,” a user told the newspaper reporter. Lamborghinis are akin to Ferraris but considerably wilder. Those are rich playboys’ automobiles. According to Bloomberg, at least one out of six Lamborghini Huracán LP610-4s gets huge fame in the filming of “Doctor Strange” (each worth roughly $238,000) used in stunts.

     5. 1970 Dodge Charger

All Dominic Toretto’s (Vin Diesel) upgrades make his 1970 Dodge Charger so desirable. You could pack a massive engine into it because it was so big. Some option codes can quadruple the car’s price. It features a roll cage, an aftermarket engine, maybe new wheels, and most likely a changed suspension in the movie. According to NADAGuides.com, a comparable Charger in good condition is worth more than $40,000.

     6. Lincoln Continental

Although vintage automobiles contribute to the cost of period films, Paramount got a decent deal on this 1941 Lincoln when filming “The Godfather.” It probably wasn’t worth that much in the 1970s. It was probably something along the lines of, ‘Oh sure, maybe some old guy has one around.’ In the early 1940s, they were famous as luxury automobiles; nowadays, they may bring up to $50,000.

    7. 2006 Aston Martin DBS

The Aston Martin cars that were made specifically for Casino Royale were given to the studio for the appearance in the film, which is quite generous considering that each one has a price tag of over $400K. The DBS makes a spectacular exit from the film, setting the world record for most barrel rolls assisted by a cannon.

Car Crashes Are Real? Do They Destroy Expensive Cars In Hollywood Movies?

They aren’t always real. 
The BMW Z8 sawed in two in the James Bond film “The World Is Not Enough” has OEM sheet metal but kit-car mechanicals below. In that film, several of the Z8s were 1/25 scale replicas. Although utilized an actual Z8 in the movie, BMW asked that it be returned in its original condition. 
They are, however, occasionally real. 
The BMW 750 James Bond drove under remote control in “Tomorrow Never Dies” was a real car, with joystick controls mounted deep in the rear passenger footwell and small cameras on display. The BMW Classic Museum in Munich has that automobile on exhibit. The frequently damaged cars featured in movies, like the Tokyo Drift automobiles.

Exotic cars were driven in Fast and Furious

Exotic cars were driven in Fast and Furious

For those who love movies and cars equally, some movies are a feast for the eyes because they feature lots and lots of exotic cars. Movies in the Fast and Furious franchise are some of the topmost car movies. The characters in these movies such as Dom, Brian O’Conner, Tej Parker, and others are seen driving various luxury cars and performing heart-pounding action scenes that car lovers tremendously enjoy! Whatever may be the opinion of viewers about the Fast and Furious films, they won’t deny their supremacy in featuring exotic cars. Cars featured in the Fast and Furious movies have therefore become great hits. Here are some of them.

Ferrari

The 1995 Ferrari F355 Spider has been featured in F1 “The Fast and the Furious” for a short time. During the test drive of the refurbished Toyota Supra MK IV of Brian O’Conner and Dominic Toretto, they see a man waiting at the stoplight in the F355 Ferrari. Brian praises the car and asks its price to which the driver rudely replies that it’s a Ferrari and Brian couldn’t afford it. However, in the race, the two leave the Ferrari’s driver behind.

Even in F2 “2 Fast 2 Furious” Carter Verone owns a blue Ferrari F355 convertible.
Then the “Fast & Furious 6” features the Ferrari FXX as a minor car belonging to Tej Parker. The car can be seen only for a few seconds just at the start of the movie. An interesting fact is that it’s not an actual FXX but an Enzo Ferrari kit car.
And the “Furious 7” features a bright red Ferrari 458 Italia. All in all, you can see a good number of these lovely exotic car in the Fast and Furious movies. This is definitely going to tempt you to approach a Ferrari rental service or dealership so as to enjoy driving it!

Lamborghini

In “Furious 7”, Ramsay tracks Deckard Shaw through Abu Dhabi using God’s Eye and watches him while leaving Etihad Towers in a 2012 Lamborghini Aventador and driving the car through various streets, and finally taking shelter in an abandoned factory.

Plus, a very attractive Lamborghini Murcielago LP 640 in bright orange color has appeared in F8 “The Fate of the Furious”, when Roman discovers it in the car garage of the FBI in New York City. He wishes to drive the million-dollar outstanding show car but can’t because of instructions from Little Nobody. However, at the end of the movie, the team heads to Russia, and Little Nobody allows everyone to take whatever car they want. Roman chooses the Lamborghini. But he has to drive the car through snow embankments with great difficulty.
Lamborghini is a pricey car. Fortunately, there are Lamborghini rental services available that can bring the dream of car lovers into reality to drive this wonderful vehicle!

Ford Mustang

A 1967 Ford Mustang can be seen being racing Takashi in the last part of F3 “The Fast and The Furious: Tokyo Drift” by Sean Boswell whose father previously owned that car. In the film, the car was shown to be in need of a new engine and as the story takes place in Japan, obviously a twin-turbocharged 2.6-liter “RB26” inline-six from a Nissan Skyline GT-R is chosen for the purpose. Boswell and his friends restore the vehicle so that he can race the Drift King (DK), Takashi. What a perfect choice – the Nissan engine as the Mustang’s new heart! Car lovers would be at the top of the world if they get to drive such a car at an exotic car rental or seller!

Buick

An extremely rare 1987 Buick Regal GNX makes its appearance in the 4th movie, “Fast & Furious” when Dominic Toretto strangely chooses this vehicle as his ride during a robbery of a tanker truck. The Buick, based on the Regal Grand National, was the last among the turbo Buicks with a turbocharged 3.8-liter V-6 rated at 245 HP and 355 lb-ft of torque. However, those numbers were underrated as per several reports of the day. Only a little over 1,000 GNX coupes were produced.

So, how did you find this tour of Fast and Furious cars? If you have now started dreaming of owning one of them, go ahead! Buy one or visit a luxury car rental, and make your dream come true!

Classic Cars of All Time

Old but Gold: Classic Cars of All Time

Who says that old has to mean bad? In the world of cars, “old” very often means gold. Sure, it’s not like every mass-produced car in the world today is going to go down as a timeless classic, but there are some that buck the trend and remain firmly in our hearts and minds as simply great cars for the ages. Let’s look at some examples below:

Classic Cars of All Time

1. Jaguar E-Type

We had to kick the list off with this car; the car that none other than Enzo Ferrari himself described upon its release in 1961 as “the most beautiful car ever made.” The E-Type — known as the XK-E in North America — had top speeds of up to 150mph and a braking system that was light years ahead of its time. Its production run went from 1961 to 1975.
British newspaper The Daily Telegraph ranked it first in their online list of “100 most beautiful cars of all time” from around the world. The earliest models were powered by either a 3.8L or a 4.2L inline-6 engine paired with a 4-speed manual transmission. For real collector’s value, try to find a low drag coupe model from 1962 or a lightweight E-type from 1963-1964.

2. Mercedes 300 SL Gullwing

A timeless German car made famous again in the modern era by the fandom of one of the world’s best Formula 1 driver, Nico Rosberg, the 1954-1957 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Gullwing coupe remains an object of automotive fascination.  It was powered by a 3.0L straight-six engine paired with a 4-speed manual transmission with max power rated at 240hp and 217lb-ft of torque.
Once you are past the iconic vertical-lifting doors, you are met with a stunning interior either in the distinctive plaid cloth that was standard, or the optional red leather. Both designs featured that big white steering wheel, which has the interesting quirk of being able to be tilted right down to make it easier to get in and out of the thing.

3. Ferrari 250 GTO

First manufactured from 1962 to 1964, it is among the most exclusive cars ever built, and already one somewhat beyond the reach of the average collector. With only 36 models in existence, the 250 GTO is set to be the ultimate classic Italian sports car.
A 1962 model was sold at RM Sotheby’s, Monterey in 2018 for a jaw-dropping $48,405,000. A 1963 model sold privately for an even more astounding $70 million. That’s a lot of cash to drop on a single car, but then again this was no ordinary car. The 3.0L, 296hp engine delivered 217lb-ft of torque, and to buy it originally (for just $18,000 back in the day) you had to be personally approved by Ferrari himself.

4. Aston Martin DB4

You might look at this car and think it’s the James Bond from Sean Connery’s days, but you’d be just a little wrong. Bond drove the DB5, which is a great car in itself but also taken over somewhat by Bond-mania. The DB4 is the unsung classic hero. Its production ran from 1958 to 1963, where only 1,204 in total were ever produced.
Its 3.7L had racetrack DNA thanks to its Polish racing star designer Tadek Marek. The earliest models were known for their vulnerability to overheating, but this was soon fixed and the car had a top speed of 139mph. Models included the main coupe, a convertible, and the DB4 GT, a high-performance version introduced in 1959. Only 19 of the GTs were ever made, though, so they’re quite hard to come by.

5. Dodge Viper GTS

This classic of the 1990s is a true American icon. The Dodge Viper GTS housed a V10 engine with 450hp and took the term “raw power” to new heights. This was the car that “freedom” built, which meant having no ABS and no traction control. This machine needed a serious and skilled driver to truly master.
Classic car insurance specialists Hagerty’s CEO McKeel Hagerty once described the car as the “whisky, neat” or the automotive world; an unfussy and ‘unadulterated’ raw automotive experience. It’s certainly not a model that could be produced today, so you’d have to find yourself one of these in an auction house.

6. Porsche 911

Perhaps the single-most iconic model in the eclectic Porsche range is the 911. But it’s been around since 1964, so which models are the truly timeless classic ones? Many argue that the real golden age of the model was before its first major redesign in 1974.
If you can get your hands on a 1965 air-cooled 2.0L 130hp flat-6 “boxer” engine Porsche 911, you might just be grasping at pure gold. The 1967 model was similar in design but offered more power at 160hp. These are cars that can still compete with new cars in the modern age, with the added bonus of looking stunning and evoking some serious automotive nostalgia in all who see them.

Famous F1 Driver Champions and Their Exotic Cars

Famous F1 Driver Champions and Their Exotic Cars

Fans of Formula 1 racing get to see a lot of their favorite stars on the track. They come to respect these drivers for their skill behind the customized control-covered steering wheel of a Ferrari, McLaren, Mercedes-AMG, Williams, a Red Bull car, or others. These teams are the automotive association that we have for these drivers
But what about when they’re off the track? The race broadcast ends not long after a winner has emerged, anthems have been played and bottles of champagne have been sprayed liberally across driver and audience. We don’t see in what cars the drivers themselves take to the streets.

F1 Drivers and Their Exotic Cars

It’s interesting to see what the F1 drivers drive. Some of them are surprisingly mundane. Did you know that Mark Webber, for instance, drives a Renault Megane RS as a daily driver? It’s quite a sporty hot hatch, but for today’s blog, we want to go somewhere a little more exotic. We’re looking at the exotic cars that F1 drivers call their own.

1. Mark Webber – Porsche 911 Turbo

Arguably Australia’s greatest driver Mark Webber competed in Formula 1 from 2002 to 2013 and then also in the FIA World Endurance Championship from 2014 to 2016. During his time in F1, he raced with Minardi, Jaguar, Williams, and Red Bull.
His Porsche 911 Turbo was a gift from his days as an endurance driver for the Porsche team. It boasts a 3.8L 6-cylinder engine that outputs a fantastic 572hp and 553lb-ft of torque. It only gets 15mpg in the city and 20 on the highway, but let’s face it, no one gets a Porsche 911 Turbo for the gas mileage.

2. Fernando Alonso – Ferrari 458 Italia

At just 39 years old, Alonso has already enjoyed a long and successful career in F1. His first race entry was the 2001 Australian Grand Prix, but he’s still racing 20 years later, currently for the Alpine F1 team (formerly known as the Renault F1 team). He’s garnered 2 championships, 32 race wins, and 97 visits to the podium.
Alonso raced with Ferrari from 2010-2014, and even now proudly drives his Ferrari 458 Italia. His custom version was received back in 2010 and features a Bianco Fuji livery, black interior with Alonso’s name stitched right into the headset. Under the hood, there’s an unbelievably powerful 4.5L V8 engine outputting 570hp and 398lb-ft of torque.

3. Lewis Hamilton – Pagani Zonda 760 LH

British driver Lewis Hamilton is quite a star in the world of F1, gaining his first win at the Canadian Grand Prix in his first year of professional F1 driving. With 7 championships now under his belt, he’s certainly the darling of the Mercedes team. He’s undoubtedly earned the Mercedes-Benz GL450 CDI that the team gave him as a daily runaround, but that’s not the car we’re focusing on.
Hamilton’s other top exotic motor is a stunning Pagani Zonda armed with a V12 AMG engine. If you’re wondering about the 760 LH part, the 760 is the amount of horsepower that the mighty engine produces, and the LH you might guess stands for Lewis Hamilton. Another custom gift for a gifted driver. Hamilton has been heard to refer to the car as “the Batmobile.”

4. Daniel Ricciardo – Porsche 918

In his 10 years on the track, Australian Ricciardo has raced for 5 teams, most recently McLaren-Mercedes. He’s a charming and charismatic individual in the F1 world known for his big toothy smile, but besides the success, he’s achieved in F1 so far, he has more reason than many to be smiling when he drives around in his fantastic Porsche 918 Spyder.
To purchase this car yourself would set you back about $850,000 and is one of the world’s few hybrid supercars. It houses a 4.6L V8 engine paired with 2 electric motors and gives a total output of 875hp. Mind you, it would be hard to find one since there were only ever 918 units ever made between 2013 and 2015. It launches Ricciardo from 0 to 60 in an eye-watering 2.6 seconds.

5. Nico Rosberg – 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL

Finally, we come to German-born Nico Rosberg. He raced for the Williams team from 2005 to 2009 and then Mercedes from 2010-2016 before retiring on a high after winning the 2016 championship.
It won’t surprise you to learn that Rosberg is a huge car nut, and his exotic car is quite unique in our selection today because it’s also a classic model. He’s driving a 1955 Mercedes 300 SL Gullwing. It has been lovingly restored by Rosberg (or at least someone he hired), and features a cream exterior, red leather interior, a 3.0L straight-six engine, and perhaps most amazingly only 50,000km (31,000 miles) on the odometer!

Top Women Car Collectors in the World

Top Women Car Collectors in the World

When we talk about car enthusiasts or car collectors, we rarely give women the attention they deserve. This is primarily because the automobile industry has always been dominated by male collectors. They are the ones found bidding for luxury cars in auctions, and usually, they are the ones who flaunt their supercar collection. But we are in a modern world now; this conventional landscape is gradually changing. Women collectors are in the market as well, and they are making quite a name for themselves. Classic cars are a symbol of status and wealth for the elite. Therefore, when it comes to collecting vintage cars – the girls are not much behind. Here is a list of 5 top women car collectors, who have shown us that fancy cars are not only reserved for the boys. 

Kate Moss

You might remember Kate Moss from her exuberant fashion shows or chic photoshoots. Kate Moss became a modeling sensation after teaming up with Calvin Klein. But we have news for you – apart from boasting an impressive modeling career, she is also a car enthusiast and a vintage car collector. She has the highly sought-after 1979 Rolls Royce. Kate Moss is regularly seen with the vintage Rolls Royce Shadow II in the streets of the UK. She also has a Porsche Panamera and a VW Beetle that she regularly flaunts in front of her fans. 
Kate Moss was also the recipient of the Porsche 911, a gift she received from Sir Phillip Green. When she is not driving vintage cars, she is usually seen in her comfy Range Rover. 
 

Beyonce Knowles 

Beyonce Knowles, AKA Queen Bey is our second name on this list. Known across the showbiz for her glamour and uncanny choice, it is no wonder that she has one of the best car collections on this list. Beyonce, along with her spouse Jay Z owns the world’s most expensive car; the Rolls Royce Boat Tail. With a hefty price tag of 20 million dollars, the power couple is the proud owner of this supercar. 

Courtney Hanson 

A surprise entry to our list – acclaimed author, model, and TV show host, Courtney Hanson is another woman car collector. Known for her exquisite taste in both fashion and cars, Courtney is a household name in the automotive industry. She has hosted numerous automobile TV shows, and maybe this was what piqued her interest in this sector. Her book ‘The Garage Girl’s Guide To Everything You Need To Know About Your Car’ speaks volumes about her love for cars. Apart from her enthusiasm for cars, she is also a celebrated female car collector. 
She has a personal inventory of various vintage cars, the most notable one being the 1970 Ford Mustang. She is a regular on various TV shows related to supercars and is always on the hunt to expand her car collection. 
 

Kylie Jenner

One of the most famous Kardashian-Jenners, the next person on our list is none other than Kylie Jenner. Enjoying a whopping wealth of 700 million dollars, and the title of world’s youngest billionaire (her net worth declined after reaching that milestone), she is not the most surprising inclusion in this list. Kylie has a fleet of cars at her disposal with her Lamborghini Aventador being the most famous piece. She is known to possess a car collection worth 5 million dollars. The cherry on top is definitely her pink Rolls Royce, with which she regularly posts her pictures on Instagram.

Ellen DeGeneres 

The last person on our blog is none other than Ellen DeGeneres. Known across the globe for her late-night TV Show “The Ellen DeGeneres Show”, Ellen has accumulated a fortune from her showbiz career. When she is not listening to music or playing tennis, she is found exploring her car collection. She has a collection of 8 luxury cars, with the Porsche 911 Tagra being the most famous one. Along with a lot of other Porsches, she also has a Ferrari California, that she regularly uses. Overall, she has a car collection worth $1.5 million. 
If you previously thought that the car collection was only for men, we hope that you know by now that it is not the case anymore. Women are gearing up (no pun intended) to make a name in this sector as well.

2. Jerry Seinfeld

Few people in the world whose car collections can rival Jay Lenos have made his fortune making people laugh.

It also employs a dedicated “fleet management” team to keep its cars in tip-top condition. Seinfeld, who sold $ 22 million cars in 2016 alone, has a known love for Porsche but will never own a Lexus. You can check out some of their rare and unique inventories on the Netflix show, Comedians in Cars Drinking Coffee.

 

3. Tom Brady

All those Super Bowl rings and probably the greatest quarterback of all time made famous New England Patriots player Tom Brady a nine-figure fortune and an impressive collection of stylish cars.

His best cars include a 2015 Ferrari M458T, a 2017 Aston Martin DB11, and a Bugatti Veyron Super Sport.

 

4. Floyd Mayweather

Whenever he gets behind the wheel, he shows his nickname as Floyd “Money” Mayweather. Possibly the greatest pound-for-pound fighter of all time, the undefeated retired champion is buying cars with incredible numbers. His Koenigsegg CCXR Trevita, for example, develops 1,018 hp, goes from 0 to 60 in under 2.9 seconds, and pays him $ 4.8 million back. Mayweather’s Bugatti Chiron has 1,479 horsepower, costs 3.5 million US dollars, and has a top speed of 267 mph.

 

5. Kim Kardashian

Kanye West is known to have a penchant for anything stylish. Still, his wife, TV stars Kim Kardashian, is definitely giving the rapper a chance to spend his money on high-end cars such as Ferrari 458 Italia, Mercedes Maybach, Rolls-Royce Phantom, and Rolls-Royce Ghost.

 

6. Donald Trump 

Before the Secret Service drove for him, President Donald Trump was an outrageous celebrity, in part for flaunting his wealth at all times. Its fleet of Rolls-Royce sedans and luxury vehicles helped create that image. According to Auto Wise, the 1956 Rolls Royce Silver Cloud was one of the future president’s first cars, then Trump commissioned Rolls to make a replica of the original that he loved so much. He is also said to own a 2015 Rolls Royce Phantom valued at $ 500,000, which, despite its massive three-ton weight, goes from 0 to 60 in less than six seconds.

 

7. Beyonce Knowles

JayZ and Beyonce are another powerful entertainment couple with more amazing cars than you can drive, and Queen B has been spotted in the driver’s seat of some of the best selections. An Alfa Romeo Spider is just as much a part of their collection as a Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud. As if that weren’t enough, there’s the Ferrari F430 Spider, Mercedes Benz S-Class, Mercedes Benz SLR McLaren, and Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport that you bought for JayZ.

 

8. Ralph Lauren

Joy Ride (2001)

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

Joy Ride (2001)

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]

The 2001 movie Joy Ride is a thriller film that follows a group of teenagers who get stranded on the side of the road. They are trying to escape from some dangerous criminals and they need to find a way to safety.

This movie is not only suspenseful but also very entertaining. It has many twists and turns that keep you guessing what will happen next. The stars of this movie are Steve Zahn, Paul Walker, Leelee Sobieski, and Ben Foster.

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]College student Lewis Thomas and his brother, Fuller, decide to make a cross-country road trip in his 1971 Chrysler Newport, so he can drive home with his girlfriend for the summer.

Smokey And The Bandit (1977)

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Do you remember the last time you had to sit through a gruelling hour and a half of bad cinema just because it was a movie about cars? Gear heads are often denied the simple pleasures of a good story and compelling performances. Yet, there are tales of glorious cars and legendary drivers littered throughout the history of Motorsport. Following are tales of ambition, passion and tragedy, which artfully demonstrate the love of man and machine. [/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]A wealthy Texan seeks a trucker who can bootleg Coors beer into Georgia for him. He finds Bo “the Bandit” Darville, at a rodeo in Atlanta and offers him $80,000 to bring him 400 cases of Coors from Texarkana in 28 hours. But as the Bandit is set to begin the second leg of his journey, he is stopped by a runaway bride, Carrie, who wants to hitch a ride. The Bandit agrees but ends up becoming the target of Sheriff Buford T. Justice, whose son’s bride Carrie was to be. Sheriff Justice and his dimwitted Junior begin chasing Bandit, all the way to Georgia to get Carrie back.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]
