sounds like a dare to me 8)

back to real business... a few years ago, hot rod sponsored a showing of smokey and the bandit at a local drivein (i think it was springfield) and we had a great time, as we were allowed to party, so any movie, Bullit, Vanishing Point, Dirty Mary Crazy Larry, would be cool. Neat restored small town downtowns with special parking for hrpt cars would be cool also, as long as the officers of law have a attitude more towards the mellow side within reason. Last years iowa start was cool. the cops where cool with burnouts as long as they weren't too out of control. the beer tent is always acceptable.

I vote for vanshing point that was the first "R" movie for me
and my dad took me to see it my mom was so mad at him

I loved it

Car movies? Go old school. The "original" Gone in 60 Seconds, Two Lane Blacktop or Gumball Rally.

Re: 2011 Power Tour

All the car movies listed are excellent choices but I too must admit that Vanishing Point is on the top of my list.

It was very much a ZEN like "meaning of life" movie for me.

Re: 2011 Power Tour

Ok that was kinda weird...........I had this movie idea, Make a collapsible movie screen in the back of a pickup, use a reverse projector to watch movies in hotel parking lots??? Sounds simple

Re: 2011 Power Tour

I have a buddy that has a projector he picked up on an auction from an equipment auction. You can hook a laptop or regular stuff like a VCR/DVD to it, and yes, it will make the side of a house a movie screen.

I have the original Gone in 60 seconds. Cheese for sure, but come on, that jump!!

[elcaminogirl59]

Re: 2011 Power Tour

You bring the projector and movie, I'll bring the El Camino to project it from!!!

Re: 2011 Power Tour

As for original Gone In 60 Seconds - who can complain?!!

Re: 2011 Power Tour
