Dukes & Drugs? In the movie? ........ NOOOOOOOOOO I am greatly disappointed with that. I have read the thread on Confederate General Board about the movie and am in disbelief. Like many others on there , I have planned to take my kids to see the movie. This was planned and marked on the calendar at home a LONG time ago. I am still looking on the bright side with some hopeful thinking. that this was a TEST screening and not the final version to be released. I can only hope and pray for the next 2 1/2 weeks..... Later Darrell

I have a felling that the origianl cast will honored or at least acknowledged by the cast and crew of the movie. Somehow, I don't know, maybe at the premiere inviting all of them or a private screening. Maybe it is just wishful thinking on my part. But it certainly would be special if they did do something..... later Darrell

Another one for "Smoke Johnson" at New Hampshire.... Awesome job for Tony and Zippy today.... 3 victories out of the last 4 races and 6 top fives in that in span ain't too shabby if I do say so myself. The Home Depot team is on a great roll. I hope they keep it or at least do it again in the so-called "Chase"... What happened to ol' Gordo today - running in 5th place with about 20 laps to go and dropped to a 25th place finish..Too bad...Boo Hoo...Now he has something else to whine about this week...Boo Hoo... # 20 - Tony Stewart

Alright I got a few more..... 1. Dixie - Black Oak Arkansas - Probably my favorite version, half singing half instrumental , all Southern Rock.. 2. Gravel Roads - Black Oak Arkansas - Another one by Jim Dandy and gang. Listen to the song, goes good with the topic. 3. Wild Eyed Southern Boys - 38 Special - Title says it all 4. Born To Be Wild - Steppenwolf - The ULTIMATE driving song, although I love The Cult's a bit better.... Come on now , there has to be some others who can name some songs that would befit a Duke...... I'm gone Darrell

Well Duh!!!!!!!!! Buy something that has some value to someone and sell it on Ebay. You have a worldwide audience to see and bid for it. It's the new age of capitalism ..... Darrell

Just look at what the bid is now ,currently at $10,100, hasn't even met it's reserve yet.. Should be interesting to see what it sells for...... I'm gone Darrell

I liked the artist reandering of the "General Grant #10" that is in the same issue of Hot Rod. I didn't care for the new style Charger dressed as a General Lee that also in the same issue of Hot Rod..... Trying to find a pic of the "General Grant" to show, but I couldn't come up with one..... Just picture the General Lee and the General Grant racin' side by side at a local speedway near the Mason-Dixon line. That sure would be one helluva race to see... Later Darrell

Got this off of Jonathon David Morris' website. It is from February, but I don't it was mentioned here at all. He writes a weekly column on politics, personal freedoms, and pop culture issues. A strong believer in small government, he often takes aim at oppressive taxes, entitlements, and laws, writing about incompetence at the highest levels of culture and government. That was taken from his "about JDM" on his website..... http://www.readjdm.com/main/jdm/more/256/ Duke, Where's My Car? Tuesday, February 8, 2005 I have to admit the upcoming Dukes of Hazzard movie has a strong supporting cast. Seann William Scott and Johnny Knoxville will play the good old boys, Bo and Luke Duke. Willie Nelson will play Uncle Jesse. Burt Reynolds is the surprising—yet promising—choice for Boss Hogg. And, finally, Jessica Simpson will step off the set of her made-for-TV marriage and into some short shorts as the Pride of Hazzard County, Daisy Duke. Granted, most movies based on old shows pack as much punch as Newfound Glory singing Celine Dion—but, so far, this one’s looking pretty good. Everything rests on its real star’s rooftop, though. And, by “real star,†I of course mean the Duke boys’ orange Dodge Charger—the General Lee. Oh, it’ll be there, all right. And no doubt it’ll soar through the air as our folk heroes outrun the law and save the family farm from the land-grabbing Hogg. But that’s a given. The make-or-break question here is this: Will the General Lee sport a Confederate flag on its rooftop? Or will it receive a politically correct, postmodern paint job? Well, based on some of the photos I’ve seen, it appears that the flag is still there. Thank God. The truth is, I was prepared to boycott this movie. Or rebel against it. When I first heard they were bringing Bo and Luke to the big screen, I heard they were planning to leave the flag off—which, to me, defeats everything the characters stand for. In fact, the Dukes of Hazzard aren’t the Dukes of Hazzard without it. They’re just a couple of cousins in a beat-up old car. And where’s the fun in that? Fortunately, though, the Wall Street Journal reports that Warner Bros. will keep the flag after all. While this comes with a caveat (Bo and Luke will acknowledge the flag’s less-than-favorable reputation), I can think of at least three reasons why the studio made the right move. First of all, yes, many people interpret the Confederate flag as a slice of nostalgia for America’s slave-trading past. However, the past is like Vegas; what happens there stays there forever and ever, amen. Today, the flag is more divisive than it was when the Dukes first hit the air. Our sensibility is different. I understand that. But the Confederacy was a thing of the past by the time the show started in 1979. It’s a thing of the past in 2005, too. Just because we’re more sensitive now doesn’t mean Southern secession happened in the last 20 years. So if folks in the North can tell folks in the South, “The war is over,†then I say: Exactly. Get over it. Let ‘em paint the car. Second, believe it or not, there are folks in this world who don’t see the rebel flag as a symbol of racism. It’s true. And they’re easy to spot, these people. Yeah. They’re the ones who wear rebel flags who insist they’re not racists. Why is it everyone questions their motives? For some, this flag is a symbol of Southern heritage. For others, it’s a fashion statement. Not everyone believes the Civil War was waged to “free the slaves.†This doesn’t mean slavery was right. But it doesn’t mean the war was right, either. Look, I’m not saying the flag hasn’t been used as a racist symbol, or that it isn’t embraced by some racists. But not everyone who wears or flies it does so for racist reasons. Where’s the logic in prejudging prejudice? Why assume the worst? Finally, if you’re going to rip the rebel flag off the General Lee, you might as well slap down Old Glory and call it the General Grant instead. This is my main reason for thinking Warner Bros. did the right thing. Taking the flag off the General Lee is like taking Mount Rushmore out of textbooks. It’s like blurring out the gray soldiers in Gods and Generals (or adding colors to any of Ted Turner’s other favorite films). The General Lee is a genuine piece of modern Americana. The Dukes of Hazzard weren’t anti-abolitionists; they were “good old boys, never meanin’ no harm." Their bootlegging, backwoods country lifestyle—their love for dust-ups and fast-drivin’ fun—is the stuff of American legend. Boss Hogg is Big Business, you see. But the bad kind of Big Business. A monopolist. An exploiter of eminent domain. He’s the East India Tea Co. to Sheriff Rosco’s paternalistic King George. Bo and Luke Duke are revolutionaries. They’re freedom fighters. They’re everything we’ve ever been taught to admire about America. The mountain might get ‘em, but the law never will. And as for Daisy—well, she’s just fun to look at. That’s why there needs to be a Confederate flag in this movie. Without it, the General Lee is occupied territory. It suggests the Duke boys are submissive—that before they’ve so much as fought the law, the law has won. And if that’s the case, why see the movie at all? So three cheers to Warner Bros. for making the right decision. Now let’s just hope the picture doesn’t suck.

Watching the NASCAR Cup race form Chicagoland.....The movie was a sponsor of the race with commercials , all with the rating of PG-13... I figured the movie was going to get a PG-13 because of who is in it and some more adult content. There is one scen on the commercial where they the General "flying" onto the highway and a police officer starts to say "Holy S---" before they switch to another scene......... Later Darrell
