so who are your secret Oppo movie characters- a character who really has Oppo tendencies but its not what they are entirely about.

my first nomination is Spicoli from Fast Times. he cruises somebody else’s Z28, goes full send, and thinks he can fix it with his dad’s tools.

made up points taken away from any F&F characters, Gone in 60 Seconds, or Cannonball Run.

and....GO:

Maybe not secretly Oppo, but who can forget Austin Powers’ E-Type ?

Yeah, Baby. Yeah!

While the opening scene places Mrs. Kensington at the wheel, Austin is seen driving it alone and with passengers in the other films.

Waffle’s reply made me go digging for Rockford Files content , and I found these excellent and relevant  posts from the archives.

Bill. aka the Snake Charmer.

Ironically, drove a DeThomaso Mangusta… aka M ongoose, an animal that kills snakes... while all of his assassins were named for snakes, which comes back to bite him... ( but I won’t spoil it further )

A very interesting car choice for a character that was a bit of a connoisseur of various things... but definitely not what his main focus was.

I just mentioned this one to a coworker yesterday. Leonardo DiCaprio’s character Billy Costigan drove a fox body Mustang GT on Cobra R’s in The Departed.

Al Bundy. Nurses his old heap along forever, has a devotion to the car but also likes other cars, especially Mustangs :

And Panthers:

Bonus points for having a nagging high maintenance wife who he complains about but ultimately loves.
