The premise is OK, the car is cool, but the acting is high-school bad, and the plot is just silly.

And I still can't believe they switched the Pontiac for a Ford Cobra... Sure, the cobra Shelby is a muscle car, but not the same...

There's also lots of continuity errors- the most obvious is when the bad guys are in a helicopter. In one minute, they show THREE separate choppers, with three different tail ids... But the Hoff really looks good! Fit, clean, and not a hamburger in sight.

If you have a lemon-lime soda handy, that always helps me...

Hubby is a roller, so I am used to being smooshed into the corner. I have learned not to roll around too much over the years.
I love my couch. I tested it for nap-a-bility when we were shopping for it. Very comfy!

I dunno, but it's something that occasionally infects my children too...

The yard calls to them in their sleep . . . maybe even shouts at them . . .

Was the original car a Trans-Am? The Trans-Am/Camero were the cars to have in high school! I don't know if a Shelby means as much to a high schooler today as it would 27 years ago. What is the car to have amongst the teen set these days?

Really! I know I have to think about just how bad I need to go when I know that toilet seat is going to be ice cold!

Keep the cover down and lay a heating pad on it at night . . . just a thought . . .

He must find the perfect spot. The one spot that says, "All this is mine, and by my benevolence you are allowed to be graced by my presence." Takes time to find a spot like that. It can't be the same spot as last time, because that spot is no longer good enough.

LOL

freeze his big red butt to the ground one of these days, he will!

It was a Pontiac Firebird. Trans-Am was the preferred mode of transport for The Bandit in the Smokey movies (the first of which is one of my guilty pleasures of all time movies).

Shelby is used since it's the 50th anny and has a mystique to it. What is the car to have among teens? no clue, as I do not have any. But one would expect it would be something like the Mini Cooper, or some form of a BMW...

Mmm... heated toilet seat. Would be extra special in our house- the bathroom gets real cold at night, and DW would love it.

Lovely ideas, but no outlets in the bathroom.

No outlets in the bathroom? How old is your house?

The original movie was cute, the sequels got old fast.
Most of the male teens around here have pickup trucks. I haven't really noticed what the girls drive.

I loved the original series. Sure, it was hokey, but that was part of its charm.

HOORAY! I finally got a tracking number for my fish shirts I received on Tuesday!

It was built in 1970. The master bath has the sink in a separate dressing area. That's where the outlet is located. Tub and toilet in an adjoining room.
