You probably made a dumb New Years Resolution, such as to simplify and add lightness to your body. You should give up on that, unless you can put the exercise bike in front of the television. Your real New Year's Resolution is to watch driving movies you've never watched before. You will start with !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! and then watch other movies suggested by Oppositelock readers in the comments (hint hint).

Here's a trailer for Powwow Highway .

Cannonball Run II

Take the campy and turn it up to 10 (11 is reserved for Spinal Tap).
Plus, Frank Sinatra and bad editing (a Corvette turns into a Dodge for a second).

I'd say that the third one was MUCH worse..

I still refuse to say that Speed Zone is the third Cannonball movie. None of the original cast (except Jamie Farr's cameo).

I say watch "Vanishing Point" (no, not the POS remake with Aragorn and some jackass from 90210). The sucker that Tarantino pretty much (lovingly) plagiarized with the second half of "Death Proof." The one that's based around a driver making a bet that he can make it from Colorado to San Francisco in less time than some Top Gear UK challenges in a car that really is just good in a straight line, making noise. And that 1970 Dodge Challenger does make a wonderful noise.
