Atomic Toasters : Top Gun Day - Behind the Scenes (Visual Effects)

Thu, 14 May 2015 13:07:11 +0000

I watched Top Gun with my 17 year old son the other day. Unless he's humoring me, it still holds up.

I'd be tempted to shorten the Raptor and graft on a Bronco roof but, this works too.

Couldn't you lock the seat to the tire AROUND the top bar of a traditional bike rack?

Looking back on my comment from the original article, I said something similar. How you people put up with me remains a mystery. That said, something rubs me the wrong way about a car with actual performance cred being considered an obscure muscle car when the poser version was so abundant. Maybe we need a category for such a hiding in plain sight sleeper.

I voted against it primarily because although survivors might be obscure, they seemed downright ubiquitous at the time.

I think another key would be to keep it off the radar of the JJ Abrams and Micheal Beys. Get Jay Leno or Jerry Seinfeld to fund it. Then at the end of the underdog moment, have Jay or Jerry come out in a cameo and offer him a ridiculous amount of money to open up his own shop and split everything 50/50. He agrees as long as he can hire his girlfriend (gotta keep the chicks happy).

I often find toddlers to be the most receptive audience for my ideas.

Corvette Summer. Hear me out. The original was lousy enough that no one will protest but, had a simple and relateable story. Guy builds custom car, car gets stolen, guy and new girlfriend find car. Just follow these rules: 1, Don't make the car an abomination like the original. 2, Update the technology, have him scour craigslist, track the satelite radio (only to find it removed). 3, Make the girlfriend a hacker/gamer chick, hot of course. 4, Make the theft part of a larger organized crime ring but not too crazy. 5, Include some realistic car chases as they get close to the baddies. 6, Don't cast Ewan McGregor. I'm thinking Chris Pine. Seriously! 7, ? 8, Profit.

I wonder how many cars actually came with a choice between synchromesh or non-synchromesh transmissions.

I grew up around Model-A Fords. Never actually drove one until later. How hard could it be? Pretty hard actually. Well, if you wanted to accelerate that is. Also explains why a 3 speed is better than a 4 speed. One less shift.
