Until this discussion started, I never thought it ( moving the car) was a big deal…what the heck. Let’s talk about how much we use the car radio ! @Whitey Do you think Clint in _Grand Torino_ is the typical neighbor ? Son of a gun. My wife would be glad to hear that. ---

No, I’m pretty sure Walt is not the typical neighbor, but I do admire those like him. ---

The Rowdy Yates, Clint; the **Where Eagles Dare** Clint, **The Bridges Of Maison County** Clint or Walt. Regardless, it’s all just an act (s). No one is like Clint. Not even Clint. In real life, if you drove cattle, climbed mountains, slept with another man’s wife or did battle with neighborhood thugs, you wouldn’t live very long, except in fiction. Most I know are too fond of living to be much like the Clint characters. But, he does age well ! ---

There are people who have confronted thugs in real life and lived through the experience. I’m thinking of people like Mandela and Leymah Gbowee. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leymah\_Gbowee](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leymah_Gbowee) … and … [SPOILER ALERT] Walt didn’t live very long when he started messing with neighborhood thugs. ---

My friend Chris tipped me off to a pretty incredible sto… I guess Clint is the same bad a$$ in real life !
