NAAAAWWWZZ Sorry, just had to do that too.

I have to admit that F&F has become my favourite drunk movie. I saw parts of it once, but after everyone here ripped so hard on Vin I had to pick it up and take it in. It's now my new guilty pleasure. Its SO bad, you have to love it for its campiness.. kinda like "Plan 9 from outer space".

That said, I think Vin has it in him to be a good actor (Saving Private Ryan, Boiler Room) but gets REALLY crappy roles. There is no hope for Keanu Reeves wannabe Paul Walker however.

One of the question I kept getting asked was, "Do you think Americans would appreciate/respect the cars we built -- do they really emulate the American style like in the movie?" I didn't have the heart to tell them F&F was soundly hated by most tuners here, so I just said "yes" and left it at that. Besides, most of their cars were better than anything in F&F anyway, so I didn't feel too guilty. Funny though, they want to emulate us emaulating them.

LOL, kind of like how over here people try to emulate the JDM styling.

I think that's what he's talking about... they are emulating us while we're emulating them (JDM).

You mean you have never seen the best tuner movie EVER?!?!? This movie started the fad of tuning your ride. Who needs the car to be fast if it LOOKS fast. Brian Spilner is my hero

, saving Dom from the clutches of the evil police, racing a Ferrari, and of course, going to "Race Wars". This movie is an icon in the tuner industry.

EDIT: Please replace all occurances of "tuner" with "ricer" when reading above paragraph.

that crap was already populer before that movie came out, i still have no plans too see it any of 'em

Re: that car show I was mentioning above, I found the photos I took, so I whipped up a quick gallery if anyone wants to see:

Also, here's the gallery page from the club's website. Pics aren't great quality, but you 'll get the point.

Newer stuff's at the bottom.

Oh.... lol, I read that over and over again, but was hung up on the fact that they said that you should spray the rear wheels with NOS to get power. I didn't think it was THAT funny, but yeah.. Not many RWD Acuras out there, I suppose.

But, if it adds 50 at the rear wheels, just think what it does to the drive wheels!

Haha, I was going to say the exact same thing when I read the ad, but I didn't want to ruin the fun for everyone else.

F&F is sooo awesome to laugh at.... almost as fun to laugh at as "torque".... when the guy's walking through the desert in complete silence, when out of nowhere a supped up crotch rocket slides into the picture (whoa, where'd that come from)....
