If you have seen Gran Torino with Clint Eastwood, you have seen somewhat of a rip off. The original “Kowlaski” didn’t drive a Gran Torino but actually a 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T, with a 440 cubic-inch V-8. I say this because the movie Vanishing Point, came way before Gran Torino.

In the small redneck town that I grew up in, the fastest internet connection was dial up - and that was only found at the library. Okay, maybe Poplar Bluff isn’t that bad, but it’s not far off. It was not until I came to Rolla that I discovered video games and the internet can control people’s life. There was a point in my life during which I was somewhat antisocial and my only friend was the controller to GT4, but I am glad that I put that life behind me.
