Starlight Black and Mechanic 17 know exactly what's going on. This movie, IMO, is an excellent reflection on what was going on in 1970-71 in the US. There is a lot more than what's on the surface, if you're a true "car guy". This is how it was....grimy, unvarnished, warts and all. I love the idea of the drummer of the Beach Boys buying an overhaul kit for a "1970 Quadrajet" and doing a roadside rebuild while Warren Oates falls asleep trying to steal a license plate. James Taylor has a few choice lines about the blandness of Detroit Iron...how they all look the same and "perform about the same." Great soundtrack, and an excellent performance by the late, great, Warren Oates.
