Hey Craig, greetings from the UK. I'd be interested and wishing to know if you would do a video on the casts favorite cars and how people such as Paul walker took to them or even cars from the films, from what you seen on the set or even what they where like with the cars such as if they actually could drive them well or knew much about them?. This maybe interesting for some and maybe something you might want to do. Hope to hear from you soon. Ton

I found some old vids I recorded of riding up 95 together, and you standing in the back of a Box truck at hot wheels in jaxs telling us about the hurricane we were going to be driving through. Since Nopi nationals and the Super Street Tour existed because of the movie, you ever thought about discussing the experience of the tour and nationals on the channel?

It's so crazy that the Universal's ignorance/stupidity about tuner cars (useless body kits, over the top paint and graphics, cheap Chinese performance parts, and heavy stereo systems) ended up shaping an entire car culture that lasts to this day. Tokyo Drift was the most accurate representation of real tuner car culture that I've seen (aside from maybe Initial D.)

I mean competitors see the amount of dollars made, but make no attempt at car culture movies. The argument can be made for Need for Speed, but again, it never franchised. Thoughts?
