Okay, I will acknowledge The Brief Brian Minivan Moment.

I think my point stands tho that Dominic Toretto would be more accepting and respectful of the most freakish kinky weirdo queer person ever, as long as they can drive a stick shift. than he ever would be of someone who can only drive an automatic. He might teach them tho.

if you told vin diesel fast and the furious you were gay he'd be like "Some people like driving stick…some people like driving automatic…what matters is you cross the finish line.." and then he'd rev up a dodge challenger and drive through a building and kill 16 people

#reblog #fast and furious #whats weird to me is that they didnt go for some sort of stick shift suv crossover bullshit in a stick shift #but i guess its harder to make the point of how brian is struggling to adapt to Normal Mundane Fatherhood and Domestic life #and forcing him as a character to drive an automatic minivan is a great way to represent that struggle in a quick sequence #and i think in the film the fact that its an automatic is something hes Struggling with. and i cant remember if dom pokes fun at him #and he probably does. but he also probably likes the idea of his nephew being safe and secure in a minivan at least a little bit #and he still respects brian bc brian still Knows how to drive stick and if not for the Childhood and Mundane Life he'd be driving #a stupid little stick shift import with a tacky paint job (affectionate. i love brians stupid little cars)#dom might respect it as a choice for like a daily commute but also i knowwwww he does not acknowledge that shit as Real Driving #and no way he acknowledges that as a Real Car. Dom wants a car he cant fucking pacrim drift with via the gearshift and does not acknowledge #an automatic as real driving.#he barely accepts anything thats not a dodge charger as a real car (joke)#anyway sorry for being Slightly Hyperbolic. next time i watch all of them i will be sure to keep a tally of how many #confirmed stick shifts vs automatics i see #but also even if they put one in the newer movies i have to say. theyre wrong. dom would never. he wants to stick his hands into the #fucking engine and change the gears himself but thats hard to do while driving so he settles for using a clutch + gearshift
