Not really. I used to speed cube and had my solves down to about 60 seconds. You have to disassemble speed cubes to get to the internals and sand the corners down then coat them with silicone spray to lubricate the interfering plastic pieces so that it'll glide smoother and not be so creeky and slow.
I actually keep one of my old speed cubes in my Silverado and would do solves at stop lights.

I don't know that I'd call it satire so much as simply hilarious. It's Days of Thunder turned up to 11.

Cannonball Run was my favorite as a kid.

Back to the Future is kind of a car movie for me too.

The first movie I thought of was THE most UNintentionally hilarious car movie ever made, a piece of :poop: called Hot Rods to Hell. Watch the trailer and try not to :lolol:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7JGcg-nIxsM

My more serious choices would be Road Warrior, Ronin, Italian Job, the first Transporter movie, Ruch, and maybe Tucker.

It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad, World is kind of a car movie so maybe that one, too, along with The Great Race.

When I was a kid I used to love Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and the first Herbie the Love Bug :gaydance:

I liked the original Gone in 60 Seconds , Bullitt, and Days of Motherfucking Thunder.

:)

I never really liked any of the FF movies.
So an autobiography.

I've always been an F&F fanboy for the first 3 of them.

But this one is also more realistic/my favs :popcorn:

Hard to pick just one.

LeMans
Grand Prix
Gone in 60 seconds
American Graffiti
Smokey and the Bandit
Days of Thunder
Rush

Regarding the Ford v. Ferrari movie. I've read a couple books on the subject; I hope the movie is as good.

edit: Adding Dazed and Confused...although not really a car movie.

edit x2: Stroker Ace

I’m going with :mahtroy:

Talladega Nights is number one. I may find it extra funny due to actually working on the NASCAR Tour for a couple of years... realistic isn’t the right word for it but it’s :notwrong: entirely which is hilarious.

Runner ups for me:
Tokyo Griff
Italian Job

Definitely want to see Ford vs Ferrari.
