The Better Off Dead Camaro lives.
The whole story is extraordinary (warning, crappy flash UI, but it’s worth it):
Jesus, that’s creepy. That kind of obsession is so bizarre. Certainly someone must have suggested to him that he simply buy another Camaro and paint it black if it wasn’t already. Convincing some poor guy to stand in line at the DMV? Hiring three separate private investigators? I hope this guy never has his heart broken because that girl’s in trouble down the road…
Sure is pretty though.
That’s such an awesome movie.
Sorta, but then again, sorta not. I mean honestly, there are worse things to fixate on. This guy had a mission to find and obtain that car, once done he restored it. There are a ton of people that do that. And although not all of them search for a specific car, a lot of them are pretty close to it. Example, a specific year with a specific interior, engine, and body style. They may know that there were only a hundred made and of those, the majority don’t exist anymore. It doesn’t stop them.
I equate this to a friend of mine who own’s two or three of these. Granted, his are easier to come by, but it takes several to restore just one.
Plus, there’s the retro 80’s geek factor of actually owning the Better Off Dead car that adds to the enjoyment for him.
When my son joined the ski club in middle school, I was inclined…nay, forced through historical necessity…to give him the advice Charles offered Lane regarding the best method of skiing.
Regardless of how this guy came about it, that’s still a fantastic car.
Should I have heard of this movie btw?
It’s supposed to be on the QT3 membership questionnaire – Tom let you in anyway? WTF!
Don’t blame Tom, I snuck in with the band!
TWO DOLLARS, LAAAAAANE
Now that’s what a real obsession is.
Now that’s a real shame when folks be throwin’ away a perfectly good white boy like that.
Do you know the street value of this mountain?
She only speaks French, Roy. She doesn’t speak imbecile.
Buck up little camper.
Fronch fries, fronch toast…
He keeps putting his testicles all over me.
What’s a little boy like you doing with big boy smut like this?
And the amazing part is, many of the best bits from the movie aren’t even lines, they are visuals.
Plus the fact that any movie that has “Booger” in it gets an automatic +1 bonus.
