Alright, alright, alright… I can’t think of a better way to kick off the summer of America’s Semiquincentennial (250th anniversary) than by watching this classic movie which takes place on this day, fifty years ago, when our nation was in the midst of its previous Bicentennial celebration.
“Let me tell you what Melba Toast is packin' right here, all right. We got 4:11 Positrac outback, 750 double pumper, Edelbrock intake, bored over 30, 11 to 1 pop-up pistons, turbo-jet 390 horsepower. We're talkin' some f—-in' muscle.” - David Wooderson
