Well written Jeff, I too have to say that the first movie was a catalyst for the automotive scene and tuning. I'm sure some of us here got into performance cars after watching the movie when the guys got the babes. It showed really the first import scene, many of the cars are cleanly done in the film series. I can respect them that they represent a segment in the automotive scene as well as packing a bunch of explosions, girls, and fast cars in an nice 90 minute package. Sure I may hate the drivers, and people who idolize after the movie - but it's still a good watch. I've seen them all, and i'm happy to say this will be the first one I will see in theaters.

Can't so much name any other big car movie now aside from the huge hits many years ago that weren't even really dedicated to the car itself. More or less, they stuck the car in the film to make him look cool or provide mind numbing chase scenes. With F&F, cars are more represented.. and they're pushing more American influences on the movies as they progress.
