Bullitt........one of the greatest chase scenes Ever! The sounds were amazing, that's how i learned to double clutch!

My favorite chase scene ever was in the blues brothers but the original italian job was pretty cool also!

Some iconic car movies made in the SF Bay Area... Bullet and Love Bug come to mind.

What a shame. One of the World's greatest cities has turned into an open sewer.

Yep. They just loved speeding up those hills, the car going airborne and landing with sparks flying!

That was my dad’s line!

The (original?) Dirty Harry movie seemed the most realistic. Those were some beat up cars when they reached the aircraft carrier.

Not always. For some reason I started reading about Muholland Drive one rainy Saturday, I'm not even sure how I got on the subject.
This Street Racing Mulholland Drive in 1978 | Edmunds was one of the more interesting things I found. Supposedly Paul Newman used to take a run up through there just for fun. I believe that it's also the road of Jan and Dean's song "Deadman's Curve."

Ha. The line “Charlie raced with one hand on the wheel and one hand around a beer can” says it all!

Charlie died in a car wreck... either he went into a curve too fast or his front end failed, nobody is sure which.

Do you read Harry Bosch novels? He lives on Mulholland Drive and the stories often talk about the history of the famous road.
