Don't know if this has came up before;but I can't help but feel that the famous kids movie "Cars" is based on a car from Nissan the S chassis.The character model looks to be that of a Silvia design;In the first movie Lightning McQueen learns to drift, and in the second movie he goes to Japan and makes things more interesting.I have seen the first movie and only seen previews for the second one,but I know that the cars emblem is a lightning bolt which looks very similar to the Silvia logo.I really would like a paint job just like it and I know it will be expensive to get it just right.What do you fellow zilvians think?Am I in love with my s14 so much that I start to see them in big budget kids movies?Now last but not least,my car is a 95 240sx,and the cars' number in the movie is also a 95,everything seems to add up,lots of people won't agree with me;of course they would like to think that the movies main character is american muscle,but I am pretty sure,that in the end it is a Silvia that fits this character the most.
P.s I would have loaded some pictures of my car and Lightning McQueens,but I don't know how the hell to do this.
