Bye.

There.

That Plymouth had a heavy with a torque
light.

I believe we sawed the guy off even if
we did lose 200.

Hi, Ted.

You want me to fill it up?

Yep.

Where's the gas snake at?

Chevy block?

Yeah.

It looks like an awful lot of work.

396.

454. No shit.

Got a transmission.

Poor speed.

Build a header?

Yeah.

How fast will she run?

That depends on who's around.

Anything fast around here?

Got a famous panel truck.

It's got a little bit of transmission
trouble right now, though.

Probably blow our doors right off,
wouldn't it?

Old woman, old woman, I know your dream
is so mean.

The meanest old woman that I've ever
seen.

I guess if you say it so, I got to pass
my plane to go.

What kind of car is this anyway?

You guys aren't the Zodiac Killers or
anything like that, are you?

Just passing through.

Alfie's truck was worse.

He wouldn't even be up in the morning
before he wanted to smoke up a joint.

He was supposed to go to the Grand
Canyon, but he kept getting stoned and

pulling up the side of the road.

East. Let's go.

I've never been east.

You don't seem to be breathing right.

Might be the Jets.

Isn't that what you guys do?

I mean, didn't a car just come up and
challenge you?

It's too heavy to do in a force just for
kicks.

We'd take him in the quarter mile, but
he'd probably lose us in a long time.

How much bread we got?

We got 300 raisin bread, 20 to spend.

Excuse me, sir.

I'm trying to get your bus back to San
Francisco, and I got sick and I used up

the allowance my parents gave me, and I
have to get back.

I need somebody to catch the bus.

Excuse me, sir.

I'm trying to catch the bus back to San
Francisco.

Can you help me out?

You need money?

Can you spare any change?

I can't.

I'm trying to catch the bus back to San
Francisco.

Can you wait till Monday?

70 Camaro.

68 Barracuda, nothing there.

There's a roadrunner with a Hemi in it.

70 Cuda.

They got some muscle here tonight.

Hey.

Old 55.

Listen, all we gotta do is rope one.

I think I spotted something.

It's a 32 Ford.

It's got a 427 in it.

Those are Carter carburetors.

11 inches of rubber in the rear.

Clean machine.

It's clean enough.

Not bad for homegrown.

It's a little bit more than that, sonny.

See, you must have something real
special here.

Gee, mister, I'll bet it's pretty quick.

You want to find out?

Well, ordinarily I jump at the
opportunity.

But the thing is, I'm just not in the
habit of seeing the Chevy work against a

two -bit piece of junk.

Let's make it 50.

Make it three yards, motherfucker, and
we'll have an automobile race.

Hey, this guy just got 300 bucks.

Where to?

Airport Road. You can follow me.

I'll walk to the motel.

Let me have a glass, a shot of rye and a
glass of beer, please.

I can't do it anymore.

You get upset now, you upset me, and I
get angry.

Well, don't do it. Look, you're not.

The only time you care about me is when
you want to use me.

I'm tired of that.

You're not going to deal with that,
baby. Every time I hit you where it

you don't want to deal with it. I want a
response from you. Don't you withdraw

from me, because every time I need you,
you withdraw from me. You don't need me.

You need a lamppost out on the street.

If I walk out of here tonight, I'm
walking out.

You're out of your fucking tree. Oh,
fuck you!

Fuck you!

She's got a hard pull, doesn't she?

Zero to 60 in 7 .5.

She'll do a quarter of a mile, 13 .40.

Performance and image, that's what it's
all about.

It's a mighty fancy automobile.

I bought her in Bakersfield, California.

I was testing jets at the time.

Well, it got so I wasn't getting enough
action on the ground. You know what I

mean. I mean, you just can't stay with
the same high forever.

So when the 455 came out with the Mark
IV Ram...

I was online.

390 horsepower.

500 foot pounds of torque.

Whatever that is.

It's all in the folder right there in
the glove compartment if you want to

a look at it.

Oh, she's a real road king, all right.

How come you ain't stealing Bakersfield?

Because I'm in the southwest.

What kind of sound do you like?

Bec pardon?

Rock, soul.

Western.

What's your taste?

It don't hardly matter to me.

Might be a foul, Clark.

Wish we were back in Santa Fe.

So, after I got shot down twice over
Korea, I decided it was time for some

games.

Take a couple years off, you know what I
mean?

Then I ran out of cash and I had to take
a job testing jets.

Oh, after a while.

He got so that I need a little more
action on the ground.

I mean, you can't stay with the same
high forever, right?

Well, about that time, the 455 came out
with a Mark IV Ram air and a beep lower.

Hey, son of a bitches.

They've been following me clear across
two states.

Three states.

They keep wanting to challenge me.

They come up behind me and they honk.

I keep my cool.

I don't get into it with them. They get
hysterical.

They're just a bunch of small -town car
cricks. That's all they are.

I'll tell you one thing, mister.

They'll run right over you if they get
the chance.

That's homemade stuff.

They can't stand up to 455. No way.

Shit. I don't know. I'll believe them in
20 minutes.

Just color me down, baby!

Why can't I ever sit up front?

What is this anyway? Some kind of
masculine power trip?

I'm shot back here with these goddamn
tools.

Screwed Ivers and Wrenches don't make it
for me, you know.

I've got to get some action soon. We'll
need Fred to do a little work on the

carburetor, so check out the rear end.

I don't see anybody paying attention to
my rear end.

Listen, I've got to take a leak.

Honest, you've got to stop this car.

Morning, we need a tank.

He's not in there.

You want to check the altar?

No, he'll get that.

I don't like being crowded by a couple
of punk road hogs clear across two

states.

I don't.

I don't believe I've ever seen you.

Of course, there's lots of cars on the
road like yours.

They all get to look the same.

They perform about the same.

If I wanted to bother, I could suck you
right up my tailpipe.

Sure you could.

Thanks, Tony. Come back.

Still a truckload of art from New York
City.

Hey, those cicadas?

Yeah.

We talk about survival, man. Those are
some freaky bugs.

They come out of the ground every seven
years.

And they live underground the rest of
the time. And the only time they come

of ground is to crawl out of their skins
and grow some wings so they can fuck.

And then they die.

But before they die, they manage to lay
some more eggs so that these bugs...

We've had a better life, haven't we?

You make them look sick. Oh, boy, I'll
say.

Well, don't get any splinters.

You bore me.

These include the records.

Play one.

You traveling to those guys?

Yeah.

Say, where do you have such a far -out
car?

Vegas.

I wanted shooting craps.

Thought I'd drive to New York and spend
some money.

I don't care. I'm just going to hang
with us.

How fast did that car go?

I don't know.

Pretty fast.

I can take him.

I know I can take that antique.

How you doing?

Freedom's just another word for nothing
left to do. I think we got us a squirrel

to run.

Feeling good was good enough.

Good enough on me and bottom of you.

We got nothing in that engine but a
bunch of more out.

I'm sure we'll race. You're damn right
we'll race.

You're pink.

Pink slips?

You mean for cars?

Want to race with the whole shot?

That's right. All a rolling star.

Where to?

You name it.

In that case, smartass, Washington, D
.C.

Right. Washington, D .C.

Washington, D .C.

Just a second, man.

No, you're on. You're definitely on.

I was going there anyway.

Tell me how to do it.

We put the pinks in an envelope. Send
them to D .C. General Delivery.

First one there waits for his car.

How much do we owe you? $8 .15.

What do you think? I'll come back.

Stay in the country roads.

Best heat that way.

Never say you're racing or they'll bust
you for it.

No way, baby. They ain't even gonna see
me.

Turn that shut off.

some good sleep last night. At least
ways I did.

a muscle jumping around your neck. I
like it that way.

It's going to rain.

He better find himself a relief driver
or he's in trouble.

Unless you have some uppers.

Well, you don't talk about doing the
things that you used to do.

It's a test car.

I'm driving a test now, as a matter of
fact.

Racing a Chevy cross -country.

Detroit set it up.

If I win, it can mean millions from the
organization.

How far are you going?

Oklahoma City.

You ever been there?

No, I've never been there.

Do you mind if I stretch out and make
myself comfortable?

Well, I'll go right ahead.

I'm not into that.

I just thought it might relax you while
you drive.

This is competition, man.

I got no time.

You bet you would have left me, wouldn't
you?

Okay, get your ass out of here.

Well, it's raining. You can't let me out
here.

Out? I told you to keep the claws off
me.

Oh, come on.

How was I supposed to know?

We can still be...

Friends get weak.

Out.

I ain't moving.

First town we come to, you're out.

I got no time for sidetracks.

I'm going to change the jets on the
carburetor.

Give me a cheeseburger with everything
on it and a Coke.

Sit back over here for a minute.

Yeah, this man's dangerous, officer.

He passed us on the right a couple of
miles back.

I swear he's going about 90.

We'll step back over here for a minute.

Howdy, did he pass you in the ditch?

That's right.

He was weaving all over the road.

Scared my wife about half to death.

He must be on something.

Say, do you need me as a witness or
anything like that?

No, sir. I believe we can handle it.

I did pass that, but my wife never...

Listen, you creep.

I don't need any help from you,
understand? I'm in this race all the

don't need to be patronized.

Don't put me on.

I've been around a track too many times
for that, you understand?

We just wanted to let you know that
we're right along with you on the road.

We're all in this together, right?

Looks shit for brains.

I had those cops eaten right out of my
exhaust pipe.

You blew the whole thing.

I had a police escort across the state
line because my wife happens to be

a set of twins.

Just don't fuck around with me.

Okay, why don't we take a truce for a
few minutes?

Would you like a hard -boiled egg or
something?

I've got other items, depending on which
way you want to go.

Up, down, or sideways.

Here's to your destruction.

Same to you.

You want another egg?

Here we are on the road.

Yeah, that's where we are, all right.

I'm not worried about shutting you down.
I hope you know that.

Yeah, I figured as much.

However, I have been around.

I get the one into this country and I
bounce off like a rubber ball and hit

right back to the other side.

I've been scouting locations for a down
-home movie on fast cars.

But the real race is more interesting.

I could choose locations that I go
along.

You been doing this much?

A little, yeah.

I knew you were a car nut.

I can spot the type.

But all that speed is going to run over
you one of these days.

You can't be a nomad forever unless you
flow with it like me.

Now, you take a trip that I was on.

Listen, why don't you ride with me?

They're not for you.

All they think about is cars.

They can't show you the kind of time I
can.

Where would we go?

Miami.

Maybe Montreal.

Mexico. Mexico is out of sight.

The thing is, you've got to keep moving.

A few dashes out of the country every
now and then.

You've got to have a foreign taste just
to keep balance, otherwise you'll fall

apart.

I don't know.

Not right now.

Anyway, you'll probably lose the race.

I'm serious, you know.

I'm not just kidding around.

You'd have yourself a real street
sweeper here if you put a little work

I go fast enough.

You can never go fast enough.

I'll tell you another thing. You're not
going to make it another 50 miles the

way the carburetor is.

You're leaking gas all over the engine.

Well, what do I got to do?

Get it fixed in the next town.

If they have the parts, it should only
cost you an hour.

That's all I need.

I can't survive it right now.

It's all right for you guys. You got a
relief driver. You can change over.

But you ought to see what I'm picking up
on the road, one fantasy after another.

Look, we'll wait for you. It doesn't
interest me to be 500 miles ahead.

How the hell I know you'll wait?

I'll go with you, man. It's only 10
miles over here, the next town.

I'll go with him.

I can go. I like the tape recorder.

No.

I'll ride in a Chevy. I never rode one
of those things.

It's not too comfortable in here.

Yeah, it doesn't even have a ship.

It slows it down.

Everything fell apart on me.

My job, my family.

I had this job as a television producer
and I walked into the office. I don't

want to hear about it.

What do you mean you don't want to hear
about it?

It's not my problem.

Men's room is locked.

I get nervous around this part of the
country.

You seen her around?

Who?

The girl.

You know, Higgins, whatever her name is.

No. You know where I can get a plate?

I don't want to be left out of coal, you
know what I mean? I don't want to be

from out of state.

All right, let's try it again.

Put it in neutral.

Okay, start it.

That's right.

I'm pushing the clutch.

Okay, put it in first.

Oh, fuck it. I can't do it.

Shut your eyes.

Okay, this is first.

This is second, third, fourth.

Not sure you'll ever use it.

In reverse.

And this is neutral.

Is this a game?

I don't know.

Not yet.

You try.

You're right.

You can't do it.

It must be Saturday.

We better get TTO together.

What's happening?

The town woke up.

I'll meet you on the south of town on a
dirt road.

Okay, throw me my shirt.

Yeah, I need a carburetor rebuild kit
for a 1970 GM Quadrajet.

All right, sir.

I believe I've got one, sir.

$6 .95 plus tax.

I just like to know one thing. Are we
still racing or what?

I got speed to think about.

I'd like a hamburger and an alfa salsa.

We're broke.

Broke, what do you mean?

No bread.

We got to get some competition.

Oh, bro.

Well, that's a problem.

I can't get no satisfaction.

I can't get no...

Because I tried.

I tried.

And I tried.

And I tried.

I can't get it now.

Howdy.

Howdy.

Say, my buddies and I, we've been
wondering where you all might be from.

Well, we're passing through.

Passing through.

Going to Tennessee.

Tennessee?

That's the best poor state I've ever
seen.

Sir, I work for these boys. I'm their
manager.

We raced that 55 Chevy sitting outside.

We heard there's a good race track down
around Memphis.

They're racing that Chevy out there.

Now, we got one of the best tracks in
this part of the country, right out here

by the state line.

Yeah,

we got some boys that shut you all down,
no problem.

Ain't that right, boys?

Right.

We'll make it.

Be sure that you do.

Say, you all wouldn't be hippies, would
you?

No, sir.

I take care of these boys myself.

They're hometown boys.

John is married to Mary over there, and
Davis is his brother.

We're a big family, but we know how to
keep it together, you know what I mean?

Yeah.

Well,

sure did talk to you.

Sure did see you.

Yeah.

You don't make it down to Carlisle, you
hear?

And we'll do it.

One of them Dodge Chargers. Let him go
by.

Not today.

Are you all right?

I'm okay. I'm scared. I'm just scared.

His neck is broken.

He was trying to pass this other car,
you see.

He come around that curve there on the
wrong side of the road.

Nothing I could do.

He just kept coming at me, the damn
fool.

The goddamn fool!

Oh, big fella.

Easy now, nothing to be afraid of.

Appreciate it.

No trouble.

How far are you going?

East?

Well, I can take you 200 miles.

I'm going up to Memphis to run a few of
my cars.

Oh.

A couple of Cobras, a Camara.

Should do okay.

It doesn't matter.

Make pardon?

What do we have? 30?

40 years?

You don't exactly read me right.

It's not that I give a shit.

I mean, a little caper of my own. I
believe everything that you're saying,

Listen, you don't have to put me on.

I'm getting sick and tired of creeps
getting in off the road and putting me

What'd you say?

You said something. You might as well go
ahead and tell me what you said.

I said stop the car.

What do you mean, stop the car?

I mean, take your foot off the gas and
pull over.

I just want to get off this machine.

I pulled something in my neck, but if
that's all we got, we're in good shape.

I got to check the points and the valves
when we get there.

Also, the jets and the carbs.

Going to Pine Grove.

Ten mile home.

Going to the graveyard.

Glad to help you out, ma 'am.

Going to the graveyard.

Her folks buried there.

Both of them.

Killed on Saturday night.

Out of state.

Well, yes, ma 'am. I'm driving through
to Florida.

I bought my mother a house down in St.
Petersburg, and I want to get down there

and fix it up before she gets there.

City car.

Well, it could be a city car or a
country car, ma 'am.

Folks all over have them, you know.

City car is what killed them.

Oh.

I'm sorry, ma 'am.

City car is what killed them.

Coming out of the hole first is a little
GTS.

We've got colder plugs, everything.
Colder plugs are working a little better

when this more code is advanced.

All right, coming to the line.

It's going to be a fine run.

396 cubic in Camaro versus a 302 cubic
in Camaro.

Camaro 302 comes out of 0 -3.

I'm going to get a little rough.

I'm going to get a little hard here.

Don't forget, this day is the record
run.

I don't remember Tennessee, we have a
record run.

Right out.

Go down and check the board.

Keep going.

Okay.

And everyone else will not be able to
accept it.

A little pivvy going all the way for the
wind.

A 15, 65, 17, 44.

Give me E stop, the lane number three.

Give me E stop, the lane number three.

Give me K stop, the lane number three.

That is KS, the lane number three.

All right.

Where to?

Around the block.

I think there's someone following us.

We'll get used to it.

Where'd Harry run off to?

Oh, I think he's setting up a bridge
race over there somewhere.

Oh, he's crazy, man. He won't even
qualify.

Yeah, well, he's been pretty weird
lately, all right? I'll see you all up

Vicks after I shut old Sam down.

Good luck.

We'll be in D .C. tomorrow night for
dinner.

I set it up.

We're going against the vet.

I put up the tools against 300.

I gotta check the valves.

She's running fine.

Beautiful.

After D .C., we'll go on down to
Florida.

I've got some nice beaches down there.

I got a good lead on him.

They ain't gonna catch me now.

We'll take the pinks and we'll go to New
York.

Right?

Right.

That's right.

The tire didn't bite out of the hole.

I just barely got it.

Where is she?

They split.

Let's go.

Don't matter. We don't want goat anyway.

Come on.

Okay, she's going to burn you.

We got time for a quick bite.

Then we'll go on.

It doesn't matter where.

As long as we got time to grab off a
good piece every now and then.

Oh, no.

Forget I said that. I'm crazy about you.

Here's the way it's going to be.

When we get to Cobra, we're going to go
to Florida.

And we're going to lie around the beach
and we're just going to get healthy.

And all the scars heal.

We'll run over to Arizona.

Night's in one.

The roads are straight.

And we'll build a house.

Yeah, we'll build a house.

Because if I'm not grounded pretty soon,
I'm going to go out to orbit.

Take it easy, man. You're going to kill
us.

Baby.

I gotta get some food. I'm falling
asleep.

Food. Breakfast.

Champagne, caviar,

chicken sandwiches under glass.

No.

Bacon, eggs, overlaid, coffee, toast,
jelly.

And tea.

Maybe we ought to go to Chicago.

I got some connections in Chicago that
are out of sight.

I don't want to go to Chicago.

We'll check out New York.

We passed them five miles back.

I said, where?

It's going to take a long time.

You'll have to pull over first.

We're at a diner on the right side of
the road.

Figured we'd go on up to Columbus, Ohio.

There's a man there who's got some parts
he wants to sell real cheap.

No good.

This is a bitch of a car.

Yeah, yours isn't bad either.

What do you got in it?

What's it worth for you to find out?

50? See ya.

Make it 100.

Where do you guys race around here?

Not at the old airport.

I saw the wheels you have here.

How far are you going?

New York City.

Well, you're in luck.

I can take you all the way.

What's that? 390 orbs?

Yeah, 390.

I want it flat out.

I was driving a 55 -stock Chevy across
the country, and I got in a race with

this GTO.

Pink slips.

I beat the GTO by three hours.

Of course, the guys in the GTO couldn't
drive worth a damn.

But I'll tell you one thing.

There's nothing like building up an old
automobile from scratch and wiping out

one of these Detroit machines.

That'll give you a set of emotions
that'll stay with you.

Know what I mean?

Those satisfactions are permanent.
