I wanted to own a Grand National or a Syclone but I started picturing a Charles Xavier looking guy showing up to my house saying "Join others like you who own a Grand National. You cannot hide from your family. You are one of us. We now course through veins. Your blood is now our blood. You cannot escape your destiny. Join us."
When I say "no", I imagined getting constant calls where they keep asking, them showing up to my job, following me, the car's headlights slowly coming on when they're close by, etc.
Yea, maybe I'm just being silly.

BTW, found this GN commerical. Very 80s but actually pretty good! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZeZQs1oi5cs EDIT: I think George Thorogood sang this too. The song came out only a few years prior to this commercial.

Bet real money its a re-badged, re-painted regal with pre-recorded sound. Placing in a real GN where you can get the exact same effects with a junkyard regal would be a poor financial decision. They have to use probably 2-4 of these cars for this scene and maybe more if it appears in the movie more often. If the movie is a success, they will tote a GN around to tours and say it was used in the movie even though it was just used for scenes where the car was parked.
It is funny how movies place in engine acceleration sound just so its more dramatic, even though the car is going at a steady 70-80 MPH.
