The Ford Family dosen't like the way The Deuce is portrayed, and after seeing the trailer I agree.

Just curious, and not to be contrary:

How many of us who have given really fast rides to people, on a track or the street, have ever had anyone cry?   

I've had riders screaming, yelling, closing eyes, getting car sick and even getting mad (certain women), but never anyone crying.

Maybe they were tears of joy at such an amazing ride.
"Low she sits on five spoke wheels
Small block eight so live she feels
There she's parked beside the curb
Engine revving to disturb
She's the princess from his past
Red paint gold stripes damned she's fast"

My wifes fingernails are still stuck in the dash padding on my '68.  It was only about 115mph? I had to slow down. She couldn't breath. She was doing one of those negative screams where she was sucking the air in rather then out and she was ready to pass out. Go figure? :o

I had an epiphany in the car once and a shed some tears also...
