That's the first thing I thought while watching the trailer. I hope they don't take too many liberties with the history of the story. I'm going to do my best to not pay attention to wheel sizes and side vents. It was hard to watch "war" movies after being an infantry Marine because everyone always seemed to get so many things wrong . . . but I got used to it. Now it'll just be that with cars. As long as they pay worthy tribute to two of my heros, Ken and Carroll, I'll be happy. It'll be hard to turn a blind eye to the inaccuracies . . . but I'll be there opening weekend with a smile on my face.
