6 Beers deep and making connections. Ryan Gosling drives a slightly hot-rodded 1973 Chevelle in the movie and it reminded me of the Big Muscle episode from the Drive Network on Youtube.

Mike Musto traveled to New Jersey to drive Sean Rich's 1973 Pro Touring Chevelle seen below.

From the Youtube description of the video:

This particular car was constructed with the idea that if one needed a getaway vehicle for which to rob a bank in, well then... this would be the perfect candidate. This is not some big dollar, no holds barred super car, but a ride built by its owner for the purpose of putting a smile on his face every time the key was turned.

I saw this video when I first went up back in 2012 and it's always made me want a 73 Chevelle. They're ugly, undesirable and not the most popular Chevelle, but this particular car is so well done and I would love to build a pro tourer like this some day.

Ahh how dare you! I really like it for some reason. First time I watched it, I thought it was terrible, but I've really grown to love it.

I've never understood the hate for Drive. It's a not a car movie; it's a drama with cars in it. It is not the Fast and the Daft or whatever, but a great genre film with cool 80s electro music, and a mute Ryan Gosling, and Jewish gangsters and Joan from MadMen. Europeans always make interesting American genre films, and this one is essentially a remake or The Driver from 1979, which itself owes much to Le Samurai, so all's good.
