Car symbolism

Rating: 8/10 (15 September 2007)

I watched the movie for the first time tonight with my family. Marky Mark has come a long way from the Funky Bunch. Very suspenseful, bloody and pretty cynical but probably more truthful than we really want to know. I don't understand why I have to write ten lines in order to ask the only question I have which is about the symbolism of the last scene in the movie. I'm not sure but I think they got away in a 1967 Chevelle Super Sport and there seems to be some symbolism in that. Gas guzzler as mentioned in one of the deleted scenes? Vietnam era? Another movie ending? Or just the good (?) guy riding off into the sunset - reminds me of Electroglide in Blue. Help me out here.
