Description: It breaks my heart to see you abandoned, left to rust away in this forgotten forest. But I want you to know that to me, you are still as magnificent as the day you rolled off the assembly line. You may be weathered and worn, but to me, you are a true work of art.Your sleek lines and powerful engine speak to me of a time when things were simpler, yet more meaningful. You were built to last, to endure, and to serve. And though you may have been cast aside by others, I see in you a true treasure, a prize beyond measure. I imagine us cruising down the open road, the wind in our hair and the sun on our faces. We would be a sight to behold, a true testament to the beauty and power of American muscle.
Description: Bo "Bandit" Darville is the owner/operator of Bandit Trucking out of Atlanta Georgia. He's been known to operate outside of DOT regulations with cooked log books and unpermitted loads, so if say you need a load of Coors beer delivered east of the Mississippi River on the sly, the Bandit is just the guy to do it for you. Keep the shiny side up the rubber parts down. We gone.
Description: Smokey and the Bandit is a 1977 American action comedy film that follows Bo "Bandit" Darville and Cledus "Snowman" Snow, two bootleggers attempting to illegally transport 400 cases of beer from Texarkana to Atlanta.

During their run, they are pursued by Texas county sheriff Buford T. Justice. Smokey and the Bandit was the second-highest-grossing domestic film of 1977 in the United States.
Description: As the Earth crosses the tail of a comet, previously inanimate machines suddenly spring to life. Chaos sets in as machines of all kinds begin attacking humans. At the Dixie Boy Truck Stop in Wilmington, North Carolina, a small group of people hold up inside and do their best to plan their survival as the rabid machines swarm outside. This is the gist of 1986's horror comedy, Maximum Overdrive, which was set in and around the Dixie Boy Truck Stop and based on King's 1973 short story, Trucks.

Description: While organized drag racing came about in 1951, it was in the early '60s that the big three started paying attention. Detroit began quietly building stock-looking cars stuffed full of high-performance parts and no factory warranty, aimed squarely at taking drag strips by storm. With this new breed of off the lot drag racers, increasing numbers of people were suddenly able to get into drag racing without having to build a car from scratch, and boy did they ever. Once the bug had bitten them, they were all in as drag nuts and their stock racers began the never-ending modification process that all hot rodders go through in pursuit of speed.
Description: Taxi Driver is a 1976 American film directed by Martin Scorsese, written by Paul Schrader, and starring Robert De Niro, Jodie Foster, Cybill Shepherd, Harvey Keitel, Peter Boyle, Leonard Harris, and Albert Brooks. Set in a decaying and morally bankrupt New York City following the Vietnam War, the film follows Travis Bickle (De Niro), a taxi driver and veteran, and his deteriorating mental state as he works nights in the city.
Description: The naming of Deno’s 6 & 85 truck stop undoubtedly referred to the old two-lane highways this truck stop once served when it was built in 1947, which made it the oldest truck stop in the state. Located in Commerce, Colorado, just outside of Denver, the 6 & 85 wasn't a modern truck stop by any means and rather very old school. There weren't banks of diesel fuel pumps or even a mechanic on site - just a diner-style restaurant and separate bar surrounded by plenty of truck parking. Whether truckers were stopping off to grab a bite before hitting the road again or going to tie one on in the bar before sleeping it off in their rig, Deno’s was a go-to spot for truck drivers for decades, remaining popular right up until their closure in 2017.
