Evoking thoughts of Easy Rider, I found this Americana road classic to be the better of the two. Take a ride with the Diver and Mechanic…

|---|---|
| synopsis | A driver and a mechanic travel around the United States hopping from drag strip to drag strip in a 1955 Chevy Bel-Air coupe. They race for money, betting with their competitors. The pair gain a young and talkative female stowaway. Along the way they unintentionally attract a well-to-do drifter driving a new Pontiac GTO. This older man, looking for attention, antagonizes their efforts. |
