My question is how involved will NASCAR actually be in this film? Endorsement, I hope not. As a NASCAR fan and afficianado, the film isn't going to work on several levels:
1. A Volkswagon Bug does not meet NASCAR strict requirements for size, weight and shape of the vehicle. It worked in the original because Beetles WERE used as road racers.
2. True NASCAR fans are going to be insulted by this.
3. The "Lohan" fan crowd and the NASCAR fan crowd aren't exactly a cross-polinated group. While this film may bring out the Lohan crowd. NASCAR fans will stay away in droves.


Man, its a movie!!

They can't sink much lower than endorsing Days of Thunder though, can they?

THE CAR IS !@$%%@!$% ALIVE. Is that in the NASCAR handbook?

What do you want, realism?

NASCAR fans will stay away in droves? Then maybe Lohan should bottle her scent and sell it to uptight yuppies like myself so that NASCAR fans will stay away from me!

No, I'm just saying that anyone who thinks this will draw in a "NASCAR" crowd just because it's associated with it, may be miscalculating its box office appeal. That's all I'm saying, guys. You know, like, lay off the caffeine or something.

Either way, don't try and do a little stand up gig about Lindsay Lohan's breasts. As if it weren't already flogging a dead horse, it's simply not funny. :razz:

And honestly, I like the poster too, they have a really cool retro style going on. When you look back on it, Lindsay is batting 2 for three for movies that were big hits that everyone said would bomb (Mean Girls, Freaky Friday, Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen). I don't even like her that much, though I don't mind her body. :wink:


Scuse me sir, im not your property sir. [-X
