Very funny to put a Ford on the left and a Toyota on the right

Huh, if you think about it, horror moves - at least the slasher kind - are basically just action movies where the “hero” is on the other side.

Predator is a slasher movie where all the victims are big beefy badass special forces dudes.

Feel like Toyotas are way more likely to start than Fords, but my life has been more dark comedy than horror so perhaps it’s genre-specific

Cars area great conveyor of personality. Vince Gilligan has a great eye for that, every vehicle in those movies says something about their owners. From Jesses Monte Carlo to Maries purple bug all cars reflect personality.

The biggest crime Skylar committed was trading in Walt jr’s Dodge for a Chrysler pt cruiser.

The Camino even gets a spotlight by being in the title of the sequel, where it becomes a shared leitmotiv.

How will they do it when there are only EVs? No key to turn, just a button press if even that.

An OTA update will require accepting new terms of service, but it’s out of signal range so they can’t submit and the car won’t allow itself to be driven.

The EV in horror movies will always be out of 12 volts battery every time main protagonist need to use the car xD
