Damn the '70s were fucking odd

BUT! They are key and essential in the functioning of a movie like The Cannonball Run.

CORVETTE OF THE FUTURE!

Damn, we need more gullwing doors and louvered windows in our lives

And wheels that resemble those in LEGO Technic models.

I can't tell if that Corvette of the Future has bunny ears or if its doing the crane kick. These are easily the coolest cars I've ever seen in my life.

I'm thinking it's a miracle that one still exists since it would have gone straight into a lamp-post the first time you tried to CHANGE THE FRICKIN STATION. "Lessee... 103.. 10—BAM"

I keep expecting to hear the Lamborghini Bravo pic say, "Michael? Are you OK, Michael?" and David Hasselhoff to answer, "Kitt! Get over here, I'm in trouble!"
