    RIP

    His epitaph should read, I bagged Loni Anderson and you didn't.
    The best way to predict the future is to invent it.

    It is imperative that we recognize that an opinion is not a fact.

    I'm guessing he isn't the only one who can lay claim to that, if you know what I mean.

    He was one cool dude. The Longest Yard and Deliverance are favorites of mine. Sharky's Machine from the early 1980s is also worth checking out.

    "Deliverance", "Boogie Nights", "The Longest Yard", "Gator", "Hustle" (Paired with the gorgeous Catherine Deneuve), and the often overlooked "W.W. and the Dixie Dancekings". ("Do you want ethyl?" "If she's workin'.") :p

    We share the same last name, so I was aware of him as far back as the late 60s. Few actors can carry dramatic roles as well as comedic roles like Burt could.

    Very sad indeed. 10-4 good buddy, over and out.

    Bandit-with-Burt-Reynolds.jpg

    Cool car, BTW. A friend of mine owned one. Note the smaller "Hurst" t-tops on the Bandit edition.

    "The Special Edition Package, sometimes referred to as the Bandit package, consisted of a gold bird decal on the hood, gold pinstriping, German-style T/A lettering and twin gold front grilles. Also, all Trans Ams with the Special Edition package were painted black and came with 15 x 7 snowflake wheels with gold inserts. Interior-wise, all Special Editions had gold engine-turned dash bezels and gold-accented steering wheels. The Special Edition package had option code Y81 without T-tops and Y82 with Hurst T-tops.

    Drivers wanting a little more oomph could opt for the W72 Handling Package. This got you a version of the Pontiac 400 V8 with 200 horsepower, 325 lb-ft of torque and an 8.0:1 compression ratio. Buyers also had a choice between a 4-speed manual transmission and a Hydra-Matic automatic transmission. This package got you 20 more horsepower over the Trans Am's standard 400 V8. That might not sound like much, but remember, this was 1977, and drivers were happy to get any performance car with 200 or more horsepower."
