Alternate Route

Aug 7, 2009 - Pass The Popcorn

Film director Juhn Hughes passed away this week, and whil that might not seem to be automotive in nature, he did bring us some memorable car related moments on film.

Ferris Bueller's Day Off - After all, Cameron's father DID leave the garage unlocked. Who wouldn't take the Ferrari out for a spin? By the way, Cameron's house is actually for sale if you have a car you'd like to keep safe and on display.

National Lampoon's Vacation - I've been on more than a few of those Family Truckster vacations by car (including a 6-week, 16,000 mile Atlantic to Pacific camping adventure) I don't remember Christie Brinkley racing alongside at any point.

Planes, Trains, and Automobiles - This is why I always sit and wait if my flight has been cancelled or delayed. A plane will eventually come along and there are far too many shower ring salesmen out there to take a chance.

Thanks for the memories John Hughes!
