I was hesitant to add Cannonball to the list. You'd be particularly stunned if you understood exactly how much of a car nerd I am. I probably couldn't count how many times I watched this movie over and over again when I was 12 or so, mostly for the opening sequence of the Countach blistering through the desert. And Dean and Sammy made me want a 308 long before Tom Selleck ever did.

I suppose you're right. If you know what you're buying into - if you accept the movie on its terms - then you'll probably be okay. But the gags were weak even when the movie was new. For my money I'll take The Gumball Rally and Raul Julia in a fry-your-eyeballs-red Daytona Spyder.
