The dukes of hazard's charger was of course named after the controversial General, and has the controversial flag on its roof. These aspects of the show are worth making a big deal about (in my opinion) but are better not to just whitewash over either. I hear you and understand your viewpoint . The owner of the boat was probably like me and watched the show as a kid , blissfully unaware of the civil war history . When I think back now I see the car and daisy dukes cleavage !

Or do you just limit your definition of people to those who don't find it controversial? correct 5 hours ago, Hitchhiker said: Pretty sure that Dark Night is from the south. Southern hemisphere that is! What has been forgotten is that the GL had the Daisy Duke and her jeans shorts factor.. Then there is the fact that the car inspires girls to dress in a certain way.

I watched as a kid... Saw a Jay Leno's Garage episode the other day that had the lead stunt driver from Dukes of Hazard. He said they ruined hundreds of cars (of course, none of them were real chargers) and set a new standard in hollywood. Biggest problem was the driver's broken backs!! Above was probably one of those back breaking stunts... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fan 60 #111 Posted April 14, 2020 Maybe it is just the angle of the camera but the amount of deflection in that sprit is carazy! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ryley 399 #112 Posted April 15, 2020 fan, you are right. it's not the angle of the camera. I'm sure murphness will be along at some point to corroborate that the sprit looked obscene at times. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's incredible that it hasn't snapped, but it's basically a carbon telephone pole. I've seen it curved like a banana at times.

Boink 661 #117 Posted April 23, 2020 There's a good reason why you get the offwatch to sleep feet forward when the boat is lit up....... Long been a golden rule for the French Multi scene. Do not need to add to the clusterfuck of post wipeout, collision or whatever, by having to deal with injuries and suspected concussion. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
