I saw the Fast and Craptaculous 2

[WakkoSS]

And I admit, I kinda liked it. Of course, some of the stuff was completely absurd (Does NAWS really make multicolored flames shoot out your tailpipes like that?!?). One scene there's a dude racing a hemi challenger for pink slips (it was real, saw it on the set...though there was another one with a 440) and as the yellow EVO he's goin against catches up to him he floors it...like anyone is gonna race and NOT floor it.

After the movie, the cops were out in force pickin people off for bein stupid. I only raced one guy...in a Moosewang...and my date was laughing so hard as we passed him I thought she was gonna piss on my seats.

Overall, it doesn't stack up to the first one but it's worth a looksee. Too much camera dazzle and glorified hitting of the NOS buttons, but amusing. And I still haven't decided if the 1/2 asian chick "Suki" is hot or not.

That drove me nutz about the first one, too. They're neck 'n neck, the one guy looks over at the other and jams his foot to the floorboard! THERE'S YOUR PROBLEM, SON! You're not makin' with the go-pedal hard enough!

Silliness. I'll probably watch it out of morbid curiousity, but not in theaters. I wish my GN worked so I can pick some of those buggers off leaving the local theater. It was already a big punk/ricer hangout anyway. I'm sure my '99 Century would fare pretty well against most of them, tho.

I went by in the lightning after one let out, state troopers everywhere. Lots of rice, unfortunatly none of them is dumb enough to run me. I tried after the first one came out, but they were all like "You got a turbo", or "You got drag radials", as if it would matter.

We usually hang out at that theatre anyway, and what kills me is all these ricers will show up, and as soon as a cop pulls through, they scatter and speed off, like he was there for them. We are allowed to be there, the cops are just making rounds, but maybe it makes these ricers feel like outlaws ot something. We just stand there, shaking our heads.

Waste of money!

Yes I suffered through this pathetic movie too! At least I only paid $5.50 at our small local theater. A few towns away they had the local mitsu dealer with cars all parked up on the sidewalk and a gay little car show in the very front of the lot. Lots of unpaited body kits and such. If you want to get an idea as to how this movie looks on the big screen just put your Gran Turismo on a bigger screen! They did a lot of 100MPH 90 deg. turns and a colored exhaust matching the color of the car!?! Is this going to be the next fad? I don't see the EPA going for it much. It was nice to see some american muscle, but way too many "Year One" stickers and banners. They must have paid a fortune for all the advertising! Then of coarse the little rice rockets outrun these factory monsters. What a joke! I wouldn't even suggest renting it. Kind of like the Smokie and the Bandit sequeals, not worth watching cause it never gets any better.

Yeah, I forgot about the Year One crap. Ever muscle car had the logo on the windshield and on the front license plate. Did you see the year one banner at the rice shop during the jet ski races? Like any ricers even KNOW what Year One is.

Well it is midly amusing to imagine a cop in a grand national picking on rustangs after the movie By the way what kinda times does your Gn run Wakko??

 

[WakkoSS]

I got a 12.84 at 104 with the dump open and some Xylene, 18 psi. I figure she's worth low to mid 13's in street trim. I don't do much street racing, usually just stoplight to 60 or so too. Just not worth it. Last night though, I couldn't resist showing off a little.

you know what would be really funny, is if when someone beats you, and you get up next to them again, you pull out your badge, show it to them and say something like, 'boy, your in a heep of trouble!'

that would be funny..

Nope, it'd be me in the heap of trouble, not them. There's a reason my tag says "Mr. Hyd" though. Oh, check out the Jr. Dragster for sale thread, Neil.

Haven't seen the film yet, may just wait for the DVD (or just ignore it). My problem is all these ricer wannabees who, for at least the next few months think they are in the movie and want to drive in commute traffice at 90 to 100 plus. Just had 4 killed last week in a head on. Cops still investigating when I saw the news. Told my daughter that from looks of the cars it was excessive speed. Next day facts! Accura doing 100+ lost control, crossed divider, BOOM! Seems like I see a couple of these jerks averyday. I like fast, but there is a time and place.
