I can't remember the name of a movie, I think a HBO movie staring Jeff Daniels (?), about the making of a car.

It was based on a true story, and the car itsef was amazing, but the Big Three automakers put the gut out of business using some pretty nastry psudo=legal tricks.

The reason I am asking here is it is just one of those stupid things that I already know but can't thinkof for the life of me right now.

It is bugging the crap out of me!

Please help... [Big Grin]

Oh! One of my high school teachers owned one of the cars that was in that film!

Tucker, maybe?

Thanks! Thayt was it...I KNEW it, watched it a bunch of times, and it was driving me nuts.

Jenni and I were watching a commercial for a new Lexus, and they made a huge deal about their "new" headlights that turn when the wheel turns, and I said to Jenni "Well they are a little behind the times there!" and laughted. She asked what I meant, and I drew a complete blank....she thought I was nuts!

I think that was a theatrical movie, not an HBO one.
