Six Pack Double Feature Presents: Pick 6, Bonus Summer Edition
Where Travis and Nathan give you their Top 5 list, and then add one more.
Special guest Brain Detail Specialist, Jimmy James joins the guys in studio to share some of his favorite movie vehicles. We unintentionally mess up some of the details on a couple of the cars mentioned and then we take an American Singer-Songwriter legend and wedge him into a movie that he's never been in. Please take a look at the corrections at the bottom of the podcast notes for mote details. Lastly, the guys answer a listener-submitted Chaser at the end of the episode.

---CORRECTIONS---
- The Aston Martin DB5 was featured in GOLDFINGER and THUNDERBALL. James mentions the DB7, which was not in production until 1994.
- The Dodge Challenger was released in 1969. James mentions the year 1967, which is incorrect. Stuntman Mike's car from DEATH PROOF was a 1969 Dodge Charger that had a duck hood ornament. Stuntman Mike also had a 2nd car, which was a 1970 Chevy Nova that was featured in the first half of the film. The Dodge Challenger featured in both DEATH PROOF and VANISHING POINT is from 1970. So, this one is completely FUBAR'd, but in all honesty, we feel it's not that important to the quality of episode as a whole. Also, we don't really care.
- James Taylor was not in the movie VANISHING POINT. He was, however, in the 1971 movie TWO-LANE BLACKTOP, which was also centered around cars and racing.
We ask our listeners to please accept our sincerest apologies if you are in fact a car guy (or gal), because we don't want to be presumptive. Apparently some of us did not do enough research before laying claim to the accuracy of these vehicles. Or the fact that Nathan mixed up two car movies and which one that James Taylor starred in, let alone the fact that he still hasn't seen either film.
