[edit] the cars

Shouldn't all cars available have their Wikipedia links? Since it's an exhaustive job to do, i'm checking with you first. PrinceCharming 13:32, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

I don't know what you mean by "checking with you" since you're just as much an editor here as anyone else. Though, FWIW, what you're suggesting sounds like a good idea to me. Dismas|^(talk) 14:12, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Car Names

Has anyone double checked the car names? I've looked through all the car names and I wasn't able to find some of the cars seen in the film. For instance there is a scene where "Sway" (Angelina Jolie) delivers a silver car to the warehouse, she gets out of the car, pulls out her walkie-talkie and says "Vanessa just took me for a ride" then she says "Man, I love that car." This article claims that Vanessa is a 1969 Dodge Daytona Charger. The car in the film is definitely not a Dodge Daytona, it's not even a 1969 car. It has a very exotic look to it, I'm not sure what it is, but it looks very similar to Saleen S7 (which was unveiled in 2000). I may be wrong, maybe the name of the car isn't Vanessa, but none of the cars listed here match the one in the film. I don't have the DVD or VHS copy of the film to double check, but I'm pretty sure she said Vanessa.

She said Bernadine took her for a ride, Vanessa was the blue Charger that pulled up behind her. OverlordQ 12:54, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

There are also other "boost" cars seen in the film which aren't listed here, but I can't recall the exact scene and I have no clue what those cars were. Maybe someone with a DVD copy of the film can double check the cars? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 209.17.145.209 (talk) 06:26, 27 December 2006 (UTC).

[edit] Cars List

Been trying to get the list accurate but it's come to my conclusion after examining every scene showing the list and/or the chalkboard that some names are duplicated and some cars are given two names and different times. I've reflected those in my changes. OverlordQ 03:01, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

the Eldorado is wrong, There is no such thing as an Eldorado STS the STS stands for Seville touring sedan a totally different car, the eldorado was named the ETC Eldorado touring coupe for the 2000 model year. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.60.174.196 (talk) 06:57, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

Once again, I've updated the list to include those sourced from the movie. While these vehicle may not actually list, it was what is given. Q ^{T C} 10:35, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Advertising?

At the bottom of the page in external links there are two links to pages about the "Eleanor Mustang," both seem to just be advertisements and have nothing to do with the film other than that one prominent car in the film is featured on those pages. If we are going to start doing that, I think the external links for each article will need pages of their own.

Hence, I am deleting them. If I see them back on here without some further deliberation and consensus by Wiki editors to leave them on (for reasons I cannot imagine exist as of yet), I will just delete them again.Scryer_360 04:16, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Incorrect answers when they played The Car Game...

When they were staking out the cars, they played the Car Game. When Sway was asked about the vehicles Bill Bixby drove in the TV series he starred in, she made 2 incorrect answers. The answer she gave for what Bill Bixby drove in The Incredible Hulk was he drover a truck. He didn't, he walked. And the answer she gave for The Courtship of Eddie's Father was that he walked, when in fact he drove a truck.

I'm quite sure that I'm right on this one, so if we can have some confirmation on it, then cane we add it as part of a trivia section?
