Ah, The Fast and The Furious. A film responsible for a generation of car lovers. It’s hard to believe that the movie was made long enough ago that it’s now the subject of nostalgia, but for a dedicated crew of Quebeckers, it was time to remake a dream car, which in this case was the white Jetta that Jesse fatefully pressed the NOS button on too soon.
Over the years, a number of the actual movie cars have come up for auction, but movie cars tend not to be built for actual driving. Rather they’re designed for the purposes of being destroyed on film. Presumably, this Jetta was built to do some actual hard driving.
But best of all, the crew managed to get Jesse (Chad Lindberg) who unfortunately is one of the few cast members to have missed out on the roaring success of the movie’s sequels, to actually check out the car.
The reunion is actually heartwarming, as Lindberg is dropped off at the garage in a green Eagle Talon (just like in the movie!) and seems genuinely excited to see the car.
So get ready for some serious nostalgia from a time when NOS was a bigger menace to society than all the drugs combined and “the”s were all the rage
