Yippee Ki Yay . . . etc.

The first 2 Die Hards were awesome, this one looks pretty good too.

Nothing better than a good action movie. I like to alternate them with chick flicks.

For an awesome Porsche drifting scene, check out Tokyo Drift trailer, it's at the 30 second mark;

The boxster got to the point that it still looks like a luxury car, but cheap enough to be crashed in the movies

From the front bumper openings it looks like a 996

That Fast and Furious clip looks like a 370Z to me at the 0:30 mark. I haven't seen the movie, however.

Ugh, you're right. I watched that movie twice, and didn't catch it. Sigh . . .

You have to admit it looks a bit like a 911

Indeed... I can't imagine they'd drive that Merc over a ragtop. It's gotta be a 996.
