Yesterday marked 25 years since the release of one of the greatest movies of our generation. Two and a half decades since Brian O'Conner (Paul Walker) went undercover with the Toretto family to scour the world of illegal street racing in search of those responsible for truck heists. Of course, who could resist the idea that family conquers all and the charm of the patriarch, Dominic (Vin Diesel), and his sister, Mia (Jordana Brewster). However you may feel about the ten movies that followed (that is right…TEN), the original The Fast and the Furious redefined an entire automotive culture for a new century. I mean, truly, how did Tej (Ludacris) go from garage owning gear head in Miami to super hacker with no explanation? Anyway, if you are like me, you loved the ridiculous cars that have shown up through the years, and that means you will be excited to know that the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles expanded their "Fast & Furious Legacy" exhibit to include all of your favorite super machines.Live your life a quarter mile at a timePetersen Automotive Museum25 years and seven billion dollars at the box office brought us a ton of great rides. Even if the movies tanked harder than any other franchise after the first movie, the cars never did. They always brought the coolest of the cool, and that alone is usually enough to justify the price of admission. The 1970 Dodge Charger owned and driven by Torreto and his father is one of the must-haves and must-sees for the exhibit. But also the supercars seen in the beginning races of the first two movies, the Nissan GT-R driven by Brian in his last outing, and my personal throwback favorite, the Ford F-150 SVT Lightning Brian drove for the shop in the first movie, make an appearance. If you are someone living in the crossroads of the automotive world and the land of Hollywood in Los Angeles, this is the exhibit at the Petersen Automotive Museum you have to see between now and the end of its run on April 4, 2027.Now, for the sake of pulling on your nostalgic strings…my favorite quotesAdvertisementAdvertisement"I live my life a quarter-mile at a time.
