[Dr Crankenstein]

Remember when big trucks were cool? Smokey and The Bandit, BJ and the Bear, (In hindsight, "BJ" was a poor choice) Convoy, CB radios and...

[hotrod preacher]

[the reverend muddy grimes]

HRP, that is my favorite line from that song.....Hated that in the movie it was a real bus

 

[hankthebigdog]

[Sam_Fear]

I don't think I ever saw a pinball machine that I thought wasn't cool until now. Sorry BED.

 

[Mr.Gussett]

Way cool!

WOW I forgot all about the SUPER BOSS!
I had the model of it and the BANDAG BANDIT !
A friend of mine still has his SUPER BOSS model in a model case that he built way back when!

Yeah, that whole cb-Jerry Reed mentality reeks of the polyester leisure suit era. Just give me a pimped out van with carriage lights, card suit bubble windows and shag carpet . 10-4

I would like to have a Bandit Trans Am to drive.

And a young Sally Fields to ask me if I want to take my hat off.

What about the mid 70's movie "White Line Fever". The truck in the movie was named "The Blue Mule". Also the series "Movin On" staring Claude Akins. My dad was a long haul trucker at that time so I watched all the truck shows I could find.

 

[hotrod preacher]

^^^ gastrick i remember the "blue mule" lol

- not so much of the movie, but the truck

Ever wonder why they always make the cops look..

like they've never driven a car before????? The cops crash and the guys get away......[S Trucks are cool though.....never saw the movie....i'll have to see if it's "on Demand".....lol

 

[BigIrish]

like they've never driven a car before?????

Dunno, but the Hazzard county police car budget must have been through the roof.

I can't help but wonder if people (drunk people) subconsciously think they can out run cops b/c of these old movies & shows.

One quick turn onto this dirt road and that cop will surely crash through that old barn and into the watering hole...
