Love Like Gasoline Extras

and by "extras" we mean, of course, "ridiculous author's note and pics of cars". because that's how i roll. :D

i always thought this movie would make a really good spn au - i thought the boys would understand that sometimes you have to do stupid, law-breaking, and potentially life-threatening things to save your brother, and i knew dean would understand memphis raines' love for eleanor, the shelby gt. she and the metallicar are even the same age. plus which, one of the classic cars they boost in the movie shoots flames out its tailpipe and has a license plate that says "dean". :D the only reason my fic is jared&jensen rather than sam&dean is because i just could not cast dean's crew. beadslut tried to help me and i still couldn't do it. (part of the problem is that aside from crowley i don't like any of the angels or demons that much. certainly not enough to write them for 14k words.) but i always put non-cw actors in my rpf/rps, and that widens the cast pool significantly. besides, i wanted to finally give kevin durand more than an off-screen cameo.

in the movie, eleanor's a shelby mustang gt, but for this fic she really can't be anything other than the metallicar. and 1967 chevy impalas really do weigh three thousand pounds. i had to look it up.

i learned the lead putty trick from in plain sight, which conveniently season premiered with a car thief plotline. i have no idea if that actually works, tho.

the movie was made in 2000 and i needed to update, so i changed some of the cars. plus which, they really should've had a volvo p1800. i renamed a lot of them as well. you may or may not see yourself in there. i even named one after my sister. :D

and now, chart o' cars. :D click pics to embiggen. if this breaks your layout, you can also see it here.
