What have YOU learned from The Fast and the Furious Movies?





I learned from FnF, that Brake Calipers dont exist.







I also learned that 2G Eclipses have alot more gears in them than I'm used to and nobody likes the tuna.



A Pizzaboy's worst fear is street racers.



The proper way to upshift is to double clutch.



And Brian Spilner is a typical white boy name.

A diamond plate floor board throws sparks.



Any use of NOS brakes the tires loose at any speed.

That it is advisable to live your life a quarter mile at a time. Nothing else matters, not the mortgage, not the store, not my team...

hahahaha...i never saw that about the jetta, damn.



but on a more serious note. the one thing i learned most about this movie was the ways that Rob Cohen got things done with very little money or backing by using the internet and newspaper ads. IIRC, they made the first movie for just over 1 million which is ridiculously cheap, even at that time.

It doesn't matter if you crash because cars rebuild themselves.

I learned from the 4 movies that Mashimoto makes tires, Toretto never NARC'd on no one, a couple of SR engines will pull a premium a few weeks before Race Wars, Year One built Yanko Camaros are slower than 3rd gen purple convertible eclipses, if you're a redneck you can learn to drift in an Evo, and WRX's are good at out running bad guys in the desert.
