Not the Lindsey Lohan one. Herbie races in NASCAR and is piloted by said actress. I'll just stop there.

[FastDriver]

these are some good movies. thanks for sharing guys ;)

[csl177]

Two from the '70s... prime drive-in flix, though not as good as Vanishing Point.

IMDb Video: Two-Lane Blacktop (http://www.imdb.com/video/screenplay/vi2564817177/)

IMDb Video: Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry (http://www.imdb.com/video/screenplay/vi4255187225/)

At the other end of the spectrum were dreck like Spinout and Gumball Rally.

But who could forget Death Race 2000? Also kind of surprised no one has mentioned John Carpenter's Christine.

[Matra et Alpine]

Good reminders .... but hey why get down on Death Race ? A great movie :)

Pennsylvania, the cradle of liberty, it seems apparent that our citizens are staying off the streets, which may make scoring particularly difficult, even with this year's rule changes. To recap those revisions: women are still worth 10 points more than men in all age brackets, but teenagers now rack up 40 points, and toddlers under 12 now rate a big 70 points. The big score: anyone, any sex, over 75 years old has been upped to 100 points.

[csl177]

Good reminders .... but hey why get down on Death Race ? A great movie :)

Not down on it, it's tremendous fun but at the time, few got the dark humor of it. Love the kitsch kars... just a blast.
But as great cinema, not so much. ;)

[Matra et Alpine]

true :) I think I just misread your meaning of "spectrum" and "forget". I took it to imply even worse :)

[csl177]

;) Badly written... edited for clarity.

[ScionDriver]

I haven't seen it, I'll be honest, but I've heard this one is pretty good:

Mad Max (1979) (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0079501/)

[aiasib]

This may be a little unconventional, but how bout Initial D (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0439630/).

Decent Japanese popcorn car movie. I like the level of technical talk in that one.

[CarGuy1994]

Ah... so many movies to rewatch now.

[slowjoe24]

Hey great list guys!!! Thanks :)

[martha bradley]

Cool! I find this post very interesting. Let's face it - with regards to working on cars, the popular perception is that the task is more a male activity than female. But it doesn't have to be that way; stereotypes can be transcended. It's about time to change that old perception. It is important especially nowadays that women have automotive know-how.

EDIT: At least we women know how to spam, don't do this again or you will be out, regardless of your sex.
