So my buddy got a new dvd player and surround and had me come over to watch movies, AG of course.
His new player is really clear on his LCD and does the zoom in thing. So we spent 2 or 3 hrs going through the movie, ever noticed when Milner and the girl are going through the junk yard there is a 67 Ford wagon on the stack? Really cool zooming in on background cars, there is a early Pinto in the background up the street when Kurt gets thrown out of the VW and goes to chase the T Bird.
Couple of questions though for those of you who are old enough. Would people just sit on some other random persons car, like Kurt does before the Pharoes find him?
Would a girl just go up to a random dude and ask for a ride home?
My wife is from Modesto, and the first time i went there i went looking for the filming places, I remember seeing Mels in San Fran before they tore it down, and Carly remembers when they filmed the movie, but it was filmed in Petaluma.
Modesto does have a Paradise Road, i went to find it the first time i went there, but it looked nothing like the area in the movie. I asked Paul LeMat about it when they had a roadster show in Seattle, and he said it was to built up by then and the race was filmed in Petaluma too.
George Lucas plaza is in Modesto as well as Back to Graffitii car show, tons of cars there
I actually sold my boat to a guy named Rick Blackstock, he worked on the Impala, i didnt know it was actually from Spokane, Wa. He drove the Brief Encounter jet car and Top Fuel dragster in the 70's and 80's at SIR, Pacific Raceways now, for you Pacific Northwest guys.

wish I could of seen what you guys saw/lived back then. Think what would happen if you leaned on someones car or rolled the window down offering to give a young girl a ride home! (although I can pull off getting a random girl to get in my car, it's getting her in the back seat that's the problem hahahah)
