I hope you're referring to the original, and not the crap remake.
I'm referring to the crap remake Eleanor. While I dig the yellow 1973 Mach 1....There is just something about that GT500 that keeps me up at night

I actually like the remake, but yeah, in comparison, gimme the original.

But then, I'm from the Friday night, drive-in movie, Thunder Road, Two Lane Blacktop, Vanishing Point kinda crowd.

Saturday was horror movie night. So many great ones.
