The Need for Speed

The Lake Martin real estate market right now is like a NASCAR race ... everyone is already going 200 miles an hour, and there will be eight cars within a foot of you. You are jumping in with two laps to go. Any flinch, any hesitation and not only will you lose the race, but there will be a 10-car pile up.

Tom Cruise is a specialist at starring in a certain type of cheesy movie.

It’s the kind where there is really no plot. The movie is really just about Tom Cruise glorifying whatever profession he is portraying. Think about it. The whole plot of Top Gun can be summarized as “Navy pilots are cool.” Similarly, Days of Thunder is really only about “NASCAR drivers are cool.” That’s it.
