TeeJay3800 Posted February 6, 2004 Report Share Posted February 6, 2004 What movie is that from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick Posted February 6, 2004 Report Share Posted February 6, 2004 Ahhh daymn! Its from the worlds greatest Days Of Thunder, staring the worlds greatest Tom Cruise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R Dubya Posted February 6, 2004 Report Share Posted February 6, 2004 Although you may think of him as the greatest, I intend no personal attack towards you, just Tom Cruise. He is a self-centered, arrogant bastard that believes the world owes him something much more than he's already taken. My mother met him, and knows a restaurant owner to who's business he frequents, and he treats everyone like shit. No wonder Kidman left his ass. Anyway, that was a cool flic, and every once in a while, he makes a decent film. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve LS Posted February 11, 2004 Report Share Posted February 11, 2004 what reagal nascar, i just knew of the G bodies. Anyone know where you can get old NASCAR pics of some of the other cars, like the Olds? jon The LeSabre H (body)replaced G in 86/87. Delta 88 also. Boddy and Donny Allison drove them http://home.flash.net/~rjgeorge/86lgn.htm Then in 88 the Regal W was used. I have a 89 Buick buyers guide shows Bobby Allisons 88 Regal. Its a picture of a W Regal, G Monty and I believe the front of a H Oldsmobile. The G Monty definently looks dated beside the others. Im not a NASCAR follower but I believe Bobby did well with both the H and W bodied Buick cars. So how many TGP pace cars are their ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
