In this Streetfire video, Bob Hartwig of Cinema Vehicle Services invites Fireball Tim to examine a “plethora” of Fast and Furious 4 movie cars. Nice word, plethora. Not as catchy as “meme,” but way better than “farrago.” Still, we live in a world where you can happen upon a murder of crows. So there’s got to be a better collective noun for the vehicles used in a movie based on a trend who’s time has come and gone—a long time ago. I put it to you, our highly literate readers: What’s the best name for the collection featured here? And remember, “It’s always hard to make things 100 percent perfect unless you can buy them off the showroom at the same time.” Words to live by. [Preview for Mad Max---I mean F&F4 here.]

A crash of Camaros (from crash of rhinoceri)
Gotta be “A race of tuner cars” no?
What’s a Better Word for a Collection of Fast and Furious Cars

I was always partial to “Rice and Ridiculous” … but half are muscle cars now!
I’m guessing those “Grand Nationals” are actually 100hp, emissions choked, non turbo V6 Regals scored from the junkyard.
Which would make the chase scenes really difficult to film. Or really easy.
A “rally” of cars seems fairly obvious to me.
“Shite” for both the movie and the cars.
I’m gonna call it a rice bowl.
pariah:
There are domestic Muscle cars in there too!
a scrapyard of Fast and Furious cars….
leave it to you guys to try and insert a chuckle into the day the OEM’s release their (lack of) sales numbers for the month…..I bet you bring whoopie cushions to funerals.
I second the vote for “rice bowl.”
We only use the cushions on the dead guys, it’s not like the embarrassment will kill them.
A Murder of Muscle Cars
A Gaggle of Guzzlers
a bowl full of ricers
a hoon
harem?
A “lot” would be perfect if not for it being the term for everything else.
That said, I’m liking TaurusGT500‘s “crash of Camaros”.
A Confederacy of Dunces
Screech of drifters?
3rd vote for the asian staple food, but I’d swap the order and say:
“A Bowl of Rice.”

A pastiche of puds.
A Wok

I hope so..it kills me to see irreplaceable cars senselessly destroyed.
How about a potpourri of Nagasaki Nutbuckets?
A dump.
Wrecktum is hilarious. Thanks Bluebrat.

A MOB of emus
An IMPLAUSIBILITY of gnus
A TRIBE of goats
A BAZAAR of guillemots
A BLOAT of hippopotami

I like a “Drift” of swine.
A paddy. You know, where they grow rice.
I’d watch this movie just for the Grand National. (Well maybe as a rental, but not in theaters.) That’s been my dream car ever since I was a teen. There’s no better feeling than humiliating a dumb ass teenager (even better if their girlfriend’s with them) in a Buick. Maybe the powers that be at GM will give Buick the greenlight to make them again one day. A dual turbocharged 3.6 ought to get the job done nicely. I can always dream…
