Your Favorite (or Not So Favorite) Automotive Quotes
In this thread we can discuss our Favorite and Least Favorite (or Hated) automotive quotes from Movies, Commercials, Radio, etc. etc. Also if at all possible try and list who said it, or where it's from.
For Example:
Favorite - "Roads? Where we're going, we don't use roads." - Dr. Emmitt Brown (Back To The Future)
Least Favorite - "It's a december to remember." - The most horrible quote from our lovely MB dealers around Christmas.
Have fun and enjoy. I will try and keep a tally and at the end of each month tell you which quote is the Most Favortie and the Most Hated (december is not going to be counted).

Dan Aykroyd/Elwood Blues:
"It's 106 miles to Chicago, we've got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark, and we're wearing sunglasses."
John Belushi/Jake Blues:
"Hit it!"
Dan Aykroyd/Elwood Blues:
"Our Lady of Blessed Acceleration, don't fail me now!"

From "Smokey and the Bandit":
Burt Reynolds/Bandit:
"What d'ya think they do for excitement in this town?"
Jerry Reed/Snowman:
"Probably sit around and watch the cars rust."

"How much clean air do you need?"
Eugene Levy talking to Chevy chase/Clark Griswold about the new Wagon Queen Family Truckster:
"If you think you hate it now, wait til you drive it"
Clark Griswold on his Truckster that idles/diesels after shutoff:
"Oh, all new cars do that"
From European Vacation:
Ellen Griswold: "Clark, you're on the wrong side of the road!"
Clark Griswold: "Yes I know, honey, I'm also on the wrong side of the car. "
Hmmm I need to remember some non-Vacation lines.
The grandkids: "What does a green light mean?"
Mama: "Means I'm gonna have to yell at Franny or we're gonna sit there all day!"
The grandkids: "What does a yellow light mean?"
Mama: "Means Naomi's gonna speed up and try to kill us both!"
The grandkids: "What does a red light mean?"
Mama: "Means Ellen's gonna fix her hair in the rear view mirror."
Then, when Franny and Mama are out in Franny's car...
Mama: "I have logged enough miles as a passenger to know how a car starts and stops. Why don't you tell me something I don't already know?"
Franny: "Like what?"
Mama: "What's a Prindle?"
Franny: "A WHAAAT?"
Mama: "A PRINDLE! Says right there...P-R-N-D-L!"
Franny: "Thelma. Honey. That's your gear designator. That's Park, Reverse, Neutral, Drive, and Low."
Mama: "FINE! I believe I'll start off in Low"
Franny: "NOOOOOO. Don't ever put a car in Low! You could end up stripping the transmission or something!"
Mama: "Then what the hell's it doing on there?!"
Franny: "I do not know. I have never put a car in low, and I don't intend to find out!"
Mama: "Then I'll start off in Drive"
Franny: "No! You can't start a car in Drive. You have to start a car in Park!"
Then, a few moments later, after Mama gets Franny's Dart Sport wedged in between an Olds Toronado and a Datsun pickup, "I think I need an "S" for Sideways!"
Good thing she was in a Mopar and not a Pontiac. Back in the 60's and 70's, Pontiac shift quadrants were often labeled "D, S, L" for "Drive, Second, Low".
And just to be nitpicky, most Mopars, as I recall, had them listed as "D, 2, 1", with no "L" at all.

Anyone who can afford a Bugatti can certainly afford a heated garage!

Amos steps up to the Parts counter and says, "I needs a kit!"
Andy: What kind of a kit?
Amos: Well, this guy next to me wanted to see what I got so when the light turned Green he took off kind of easy. I figured he wanted to Lag a little so I pressed the "L" button, but then he took off & I figured he doesn't want to Lag, he wants to Drag so I hit the "D" button and we were going pretty fast when he goes by me so I figured he doesn't want to Lag, he doesn't want to Drag, he wants to Race - so I hit the "R" button. I need a kit." :shades:
"When the last stickshift car rolls off the line, I plan to be there with my checkbook. I hope it's not a Yugo."
"push it,pull it drag it, MAMBO it on down. We'll give you $2,000 for any trade."
If I had to vote, I would take the Vacation lines about the Family Truckster.
"The last of the V8 interceptors!"
"She sips nitro... with Phase 4 heads! 600 horsepower to the wheels! She's meanness set to music and the [non-permissible content removed] is born to run!"
Classic. :shades:
1969 Mustang Mach 1 "..more style than a Chinese pallbearer." Another car "Hairier than a Mongolian Hippie"
1970 Z28 "..and if some pimply-faced goon bleeps his go pedal at you at a traffic light.."
Looking through the old issues of Mechanix illustrated was a refreshingly non PC nostalgia trip, although to emphasize how times have changed were the subscription cancellations due to Mimi.
Then, about their Vista Cruiser, Red makes a comment like "The dealer only offered me $400 in trade for it! I'd let it rust in the driveway before I'd let it go for that!"
And Kitty pipes up..."But honey, it IS rusting in the driveway! Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha..."
"Jackie, it's Spanish for 'the Camino'!!"
