So we were just talking about in the news the legal side show street racing things that had become popular in various places.

And I finally saw one of the Fast and Furious movies. I'd never seen any of the nine Fast and Furious movies that exist out there.

And my son super into cars and stuff like that's what he watched it and he loved it like so many people do.

But did they invent the whole cheap foreign car drive fast thing? Did that all come out of Fast and Furious?

Or did they make a movie about it because it had already gone popular? I don't know.

I think that one, but I wouldn't know.

If you know about it, you could text 415295KFTC. But I find it interesting like for my son's generation, the cool cars, because of Fast and Furious and Street Racing are all cars that like prior to this movement were crap.

I mean, they were just like a certainly uncool. Well, certainly uncool. Yeah, like a 90s whatever.

Celica or a Volkswagen Jetta or something I mean would have been a $1,200 car. But my brother sees him say, oh man, that's awesome.

You have no idea what that's worth. And I think that piece of crap over there. Oh yeah, you put this on it and that on it and blah, blah, blah.

Because that's what everybody wants. And part of the appeal is the reason they became so popular is it's a bunch of people with not a lot of money that wanted to buy really cheap cars, dependable cars, but cheap cars, and then turn them into something else.

But so it made a whole group of cars that most of us had no interest in them like super interesting to young males.

Well, that probably explains some of the more head scratchy statistics on what cars get stolen.

Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely.

Yeah, that does explain because you think why are so many people stealing that car? Nobody wants to. Oh yeah, young men want that car.

Well, and they put the pipes on to make the egg beater engine extra loud. I've always thought that's kind of a music.

Well, right. And they drive right. And you drive on the interstate interstate and third gear. So you're wrapping about 6,000 RPM.

As you drive it, 60,000 hour because I guess that's what they do in the movies. Wow. And then you got to not seen those movies. I prefer the work of Truffle and Taty.

Who's that German director? I was talking to somebody who met him last night. He's got a new documentary out.

German director.
