"Antique"? Since when is a '58 Fury an antique? And "evil car, N possessed"? Huh? I wasn't aware inanimate objects were evil (no matter what Greenpeace says). "Evil", N "haunted", I'd agree. My recollection of the novel was, LeBay & Christine formed a partnership... The movie left open the possibility of a sequel; I'd guess it didn't do well enough. (For trivia nuts: Earle Hagen's "Harlem Nocturne", better known as the theme to "Mike Hammer", was the song played when Christine repaired herself.) Also, Strommen's Fury was a 'glass bodied '57; while I see the inspiration, the connection to the rest of the article seems a bit tenuous to me, as if it was stuck on as an afterthought. And can somebody who knows more about IHRA ProMod than me include what engine spec she ran under? I'm thinking 707ci on nitrous, but... Trekphiler 09:42, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Quantum Leap

Shouldn't there be an allusion to the Quantum Leap third-season episode "The Boogieman"? After all, IIRC, there was an indication that Sam Beckett gave a young Stevie King the idea for that episode … right? --Micahbrwn 22:04, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Movie differences

I'm going to move the book/movie comparison to the article on the movie since the movie came later in time. Please check the movie article before reverting any changes. Ellsworth 16:10, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Department of mistaken vehicles

Seems to me the article wants a section on King's mistakes. The Fury was never available in that color scheme, or with four doors. It's a '58 Belvedere, kinda like this one:

And the paint (in the film) is actually a Camaro color... Trekphiler 03:33, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

I took out the word "mere" from the price of the car, "mere $250". (I'm trusting the first writer got the amount correct.)I have no idea if that actually would have been a good price for the car or not, but Dennis seems to think it's way too high, and wonders if Arnie's desire for the car is making him go crazy, which it is.

[edit] Roland

Since when was it obvious that "Roland" was driving the car at the end? Roland who was in a back brace and sold the car was still alive. Obvious would not be my choice of words. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ajayfahlman (talk • contribs) 05:10, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
