    Thank you, Joe, for letting Jordan see and show us your cars. This was awesome. I love Nascar. Thank you, Jordan, for going and filming these cars. Stay safe and take care.

    If he could find 3 lumina stock cars that aren't rusted, maybe he could have the movie cars paint jobs put on them using the originals as reference. That way, you could see what they looked like when freshly painted.

    I just happened to be scrolling on Facebook marketplace and apparently he has them for sell :/ I’m not 100% sure it’s him but the page looks like it’s his page and not a scammer. Either way it’s sad seeing them for sell now but hopefully they’ll both go to a good home and I hope all is okay with Joe.

    @WildcatCougar Před 4 měsíci

    Sorry guys... I appreciate the history but, I'm 55, been watching NASCAR since the 79 Daytona 500 until a few years ago when it turned lame. I thought Days of Thunder was an awful movie. No Car builder would have talked to the roll cage and said he was going to give it an oil pan to cut the wind. I was only 3 years out of high school and slouched down in my seat and laughed out loud at that scene. Actually, I cringed through the whole movie and laughed out loud at the rest. What a ridiculous movie.

    • @CigarReviewTv
      @CigarReviewTv Před 4 měsíci

      Movies are to go , enjoy and get lost in. To relax, throw out reality and go for a ride for 90 minutes or more. A lot of people can do that and not worry about how factual it is. Days of Thunder was a motion picture not a documentary. So, for us that enjoyed this movie and others, we will continue to, those that can’t separate a fictional movie from real life should probably just not go to movies.

    • @WildcatCougar
      @WildcatCougar Před 4 měsíci

      As a cigar lover for the past 35 years and a movie buff, I can separate fact from fiction, but... Days of Blunder still sucked. Not only was I a NASCAR fan, I was also on a pit crew for a NASCAR Modified team and raced short track stock cars for a few years. Being behind the scenes is what made the movie comical to me. The movie would have been better as a comedy. When the movie came out, I ran into Geoff Bodine and Morgan Shepherd at Watkins Glen and asked them what they thought of the movie. They looked at each other and laughed. That being said, I still enjoy the history of the cars and would love to know the actual race history of the chassis themselves outside of the movie.@@CigarReviewTv
