Then I watched "Smokey and the Bandit II." Other than a couple of great scenes, it was awful.

Then, that was Burt. He made some great movies, and more than a few turkeys.



I remember the CB craze. That happened when I was in high school. A friend's dad had one and was part of a group too.

You are right the true "Smokey and the Bandit" was good fun but the others sucked.

I still have some CB radios. They are useful for road trips, but other than truckers, not a lot of people still use them.

Yeah, I doubt the group my friend's parents were with is still running.

I recall that the following year Pontiac Trans Ams had a record year of sales. Butt was promised a gift of a new one. But GM reneged on the promise, he never got one. Ungrateful SOBs.
