I was riding in the truck with my stepson the other day. I started playing Jerry Reed and asked him if he knew who it was. He said no. I said "well you know the movie Smokey and The Bandit, right?". He said no.

I told him I was sorry that I had failed him.

My Dad said that he was over in Helen with his brother watching when they were filming. He said that as soon as they tore up one car they'd back another out of a trailer and keep on shooting. I'm sure it took more than one load of cars to make the whole movie.

That’s why there are some scenes where the T/A has no tag on it.

A classic.. It’s a shame that they don’t make cars or movies like that anymore. Just think of how many of those bad ass Trans Ams they destroyed to make that movie.

Interesting, I had forgot they used a different car for engine and exhaust sounds.

Could you imagine the suicide rate a Mel Brooks movie marathon would cause.
