Default I watched it on regular cable tv yesterday!

The car was actually a lot stouter running car than I had remembered. But still not very fast or quick especially if a generic Firebird can caught it! Movies.

I hate the hood, and many other features but it is part of our history, but I preferred the Gold better than the god aweful red!

So how many times has everyone watched it! I would say it was my 5th or 6th time in my lifetime and I have the Book, but not the Movie!

Hideous car. The Firebird looked pretty nice though.
