yeah, I had to click 'reload' and then click the area where it last stopped playing to get it to work well.

Enjoy it!

Michael Bowen was great last night...always is. Unfortunately he looked like he finally just escaped from his zombie attackers 20 years ago in Night Of the Comet.

The previews for tonights show feature a 1970 Dodge Challenger. the R/T Hood tells me that it probably has the 383 engine, but may have the 440 option. its an aftermarket paintjob...Dodge never offered a blue on black paint scheme in 70 ...the Challenger was offered from the years 1970-1974.. It was introduced by dodge to compete with the mustang in the "pony car" category... gas shortages proved to be the end of the high output engines in 1972... the lack of demand led to the demise of the model in 1974... R/T stands for Road & Track ... the moniker is the equivelent of Chevrolets SS which stands for super sport. Dodges sister company Plymouth had a car that the challenger "cloned" ...the Baracuda ...or Cuda'It A 1970 Challenger was featured in the 1971 film "Vanishing Point" and was remade in 1996 (I think) with Viggo Mortinsen in the lead role... It was also featured again in the new Tarantino film "Death Proof" in all three films it was a white 440 hemi R/T (HEMI refers to the "hemispherical Combustion chamber" all 8 cylinder chambers looked like upsidedown soup bowls) ...very nice. a car of that caliber would fetch arround 85k - 120k at auction today.





I also forgot... a Hemi Orange 1970 TA challenger also appeared in 2 fast 2 Furious... It is a beautiful machine. *Sigh*

I personally hope there are various people betting on the contestants as opposed to one eccentric, semi-omnesceint billionaire pitting people against one another for fun. That'd be a bit cliche. However, would you rather see Tully win the race and get his wife back or go outside the rules and get his wife back by taking down the race organizers and preventing future races?

OK, the thing is the back of the semi that would help Alex wasn't his wife, it was the car!

So, I'm loving Nathan, but disappointed with most everything else. Characters and subplots are a bit flat and contrived for me. Sorry! I'm still watching, assuming it'll get better, because it's Tim.

I do like the highway chase scenes and music, and the camera work is pretty sweet, like the first bit of the race when they're all leaving the hotel. I just hope that not every highway in the US looks exactly like the one they've been on, with a double yellow line right down the middle but everyone going the same way...

Can't agree more with you about the highway. I-75 doesn't look like that at any point that I'm aware of and there is absolutely no mountain range on any horizon near Gainesville.

Besides that, I don't know where you get off saying that his car was in the back of the semi and not his wife. The trucker had a picture of his wife, not the car. I suppose his car could have been in the back as well, but his wife was definitely also there.

Wow. You sound angry. Really?

It makes sense to me - the car sure as hell will help him finish the race. His wife? Not so much. Yeah, probably she was there too, because the baddies playing him have to be following him around with all they need to play with his head - the wife, the camera phone to call him with at any second he may demand it, the car and all they need to set up a warehouse with the faux cop shop and the good backlighting for said pretty car, etc. (Contrived? Not at all!)

As for where I get off saying it... in my office, I guess, cause that's where I am. Oh yeah, gettin' off!

Sorry mal4prez, not mad at all. Its just that I don't remember the truck driver saying what he had in the back would help Alex finish the race but that what he had in the back would help give him a way out of the race. "where you get off" does sound hostile and I'm sorry, definitely wasn't my intention.
