Two Ways of Looking at Things
-
There is a new hazard that goes along with being a driver in the NTT
IndyCar Series that drivers just a generation ago would have never dreamed

that looks so cool and will look great on the track and the best part about the deal no late fees !
That is awesome! I posted on the Indiana Jones fan site www.theraider.net to let them all know.
When you talked about a movie about an old adventure seeker and a sequel, I thought that you were going to say that it was actually Michael Andretti that would be driving the car, not Marco, with Mario in the role made famous by Sean Connery. Oh well.
Base paint looks like Dario's winning car from 2007. But, I think it looks hideous for an IndyCar. The movie poster livery would fit a stock car better. But hey, if it allows Marco to go racing, who cares.
I love the color of it...
the color green $$$
it looks like sponsor dollors to me !!
So will see this car in practice and qualifying, or will we only see it on Race Day?
TK,
I think it looks sofa king sweet personally.
mutt that took me a while
you'll see this all month that's for sure
we're lucky here in Indy we get a ton a daily TV coverage
If this car finds it's way to victory lane I'll pay full price to see this movie. That's something I wouldn't do under most any circumstances.
Just *yesterday* I was talking to my friend who is a big Indiana Jones fan about how cool it would be for an Indy at Indy tie-in. But how I doubted it would happen. I am gladly proven wrong!
is Indiana Jones suppose to be from Indiana ???
in the original one he was a professor who studies archeology at I.U. (Indiana University)
I believe the money line from Connery was "We named the dog'Indiana'!"
