We're going back again this morning to watch it again... That’s a pretty good endorsement.
I just turned it on . I was looking bird dogs in the butt this morning. ![[Linked Image]](http://i.imgur.com/AvUPi.gif)

Still not enough for me to go to a movie theater, but I’ll definitely watch it when it is On Demand.

There are a couple Netflix shows about this topic. What I find interesting is Shelby ask ford ( lee Iacocca) for $25K to build 2 race cars. With the idea it will beat Ferrari in the 24 hr Le Mans race. He gets the money but doesn’t even bother using ford engineers to build the race car. He goes to southern calif and uses the small shop hot rod builders.
Takes the car to Le Mans and wins. This is fascinating to me. Those uneducated small time hot rod builders out did Ferrari and all there money and knowledge.
Of course ford gets all the credit

So in on this! Can’t wait to see how the Texan, Carroll Shelby, will be represented by Matt Damon. Just saw it and he did a great job. While I don’t agree with him politically, Damon is a great actor. We really enjoyed the show!

Thought I'd was really good. It's just an old fashioned good story type of movie. I really enjoyed it.

It reminds me of the type of movies I grew up with....great stories with great actors....not all the over-the-top sensationalism CGI crap they typically put out these days....

Of course ford gets all the credit Ford paid the bills and let the experts make it happen (after loosing their way)….Then 50 years later Ford does it again and wins again.... Not something you see from Guberment motors or doged/craplure…..Jes Sayin....
