Tonight I finally found Yank Tanks and Greased Lightening.

Yank Tanks is about the 40's and 50's American cars that are in Cuba. It's about how they maintain them and why they love them. You guys would love it. You won't believe what they have to go though to keep these cars running. No Autozones or junkyards to help. You might get reassured how lucky we are in this country.

Greased Lightening is with Richard Prior about the first African American in stock car racing and later to become Nascar... true story too. This is from the era of when Nascar had actual cars! Lots of fun to watch and it has a few jokes here and there.

The only problem is I had to netflix them because they really can't be found anywhere. I had to watch Greased Lightening on-line only. It's worth it. Go and watch em! :burnout:

Now that you mention it I saw Yank Tanks on TV a few years back and it was awesome! Thanks for reminding me I just bought it off ebay for 6 dollars shipped :)

What other car themed movies on DVD do you guys recommend?

I remember Greased Lightning, that was the story of Wendell Scott, great movie.
