Coolest T.V. - Movie Cars

[Joe Shlabotnik]

50. I'm a fan of Bullit, McQueen, and old Mopars, but...

(don't get me wrong: the '68 fastback is incredible), I wish I had bookmarked the link (maybe a google search would would find you the interesting read)... but 2 points: the most dangerous driving wasn't actually McQueen driving because the production's insurance company wouldn't let him do it. And secondly, my personal preference for the 68 Charger is that it needed almost no modifications, but the Mustang was extensively modified and disintegrated as a few takes rolled on, whereas the the only problem they had with the Charger was hubcaps flying off (I think in the movie, If you count them, the charger somehow looses 5 hubcaps!). Again don't get me wrong, McQueen and his driving skills (among other skills) are well noted. Have you ever seen "On any Sunday"?, McQueen had a big part in that docu, and in-fact arranged for the last scene to be filmed on a Marine base.
