    I think some of these rides have some very, very bad juju. I'd be scared to be near them.
    Bad vibes, man.

    I want to know who the humble leader was who was chauffeured around in the Chrysler 2L (or is it a mere 1610?) visible in picture #3. Anyone know?

    I'm guessing that's a lockbox on the floor of Ceaucescu's 600. Question is, why did he need one?

    That '57 Fleetwood is the vehicle The Car should have been.

    I want...is gasoline goes back to $4/gallon, it'll just intimidate the pump into filling it up.

    If you drive something as awesome as that '57 Caddy limo I believe you are allowed to kick people in the balls instead of shaking their hand to say hello, and they are legally required to thank you for it

    Does it have the pair of Citroen limousines that De Gaulle had in the 1950s?

    I'm sure I'd enjoy the museum, as I like that sort of thing. I found it interesting and amusing that the souvenir shop has a box of 1955 Ford Crown Vics for sale.

    Starting at 1:13, it looks like the Renault guy took a detour off of skyhill and thru Davidsfarm.

    Boy, the French version of Knight Rider must have had a really tight budget if they couldn't even afford the strobe thingy, much less making the car talk.

    The developers of the videogame Driv3r must have been following this movie. Weren't similar cars to these 2 available for simulated hoonage in one of the levels? Rio, IIRC.

    I'm mystified by the tires screeching on gravel. Ok, so I'm not, but it still felt good pointing it out.

    I'm fighting the impulse to play the Benny Hill "Yakety Sax" soundtrack along with the clip. Also, points off for the CX driver for having his right turn signal light on when he's squealing to the left.

    @tonyola: Now then you mention it, I can't resist either to wish someone could edit this car chase clip to add the Benny Hill "Yakety Sax" theme ;-)
