    In his defense, although I don't like him, he is, or was into racing--it wasn't uncommon to see him and Paul Newman tooling around Elkhart lake/Road America back when Newman was in racing; they both had condo's there (at least Paul Newman did, I THINK Tom Cruise did), and Newman was regular at Siebken's, so much so that he could go there with no fanfare. Cruise wasn't there nearly as much as Newman, but he did find his way out there several times. Although no Cruise sightings since Paul Newman died.

    We like South Park in SE Wisconsin, and since the Cruise episode, he wouldn't stand much of a chance here.

    I thought it was well written. The story is great, a real part of automotive and racing history.

    Minidave would like it after you minimark.

    Why cant we get Tom Cruise in a Porsche GT and go for a test drive? Hopefully they will pick someone else as the star and not Tommy the Dwarf.

    I think y'all are missing it, cause when TC is acting its a "lot like being in a war". This will be a movie I will never watch and TC can go straight to hell if his acting is like being at war!! I bet his acting pay isn't like being at real war pay.
