Ford v Ferrari

If you haven't seen it, and you are into racing, or auto history, or just love love big blocks at 7000 rpm, I recommend you see it.

No spoilers, but the engine songs are worth a theater ticket to hear. The wife would kill me if I were shaking the house that way.

I took my 15 yo son on Sunday, and we both loved it. Most girls probably won't like it much. There is a plot, but it's mostly Shelby and Miles against the world, including corporate meddling from Ford. Miles' wife and son were the only distractions from the task at hand - beating Ferrari.

If you're on the fence, do it. It's not a sequel or rehash of some old movie... that counts for a lot in my book.

Mine says wait till it’s on Netflix, I might have to go to a friends to help him change the cam in his hot rod! That should be enough time to enjoy the movie!

The only problem with home viewing is you NEED that engine volume! Good luck getting that at home. Maybe in an empty house...
