I too love John Carpenter movies, but the movie Christine, while good, fell short of being as good as the book, IMO.
They always do so much of the book doesn't make it to the screen.
I felt worse for all the Fury's that were destroyed in the making...
Would love to have a Christine Fury, would even settle for a scale model. Did any company make a scale model of Christine? I have scales of Mad Max cars (Mad Max & Road Warrior), Back to the Future (I & II - didn't care for the III car) and the Phantasm '71 Cuda. Christine would make a nice addition. 'bout time to head to ebay.
There is a museum called Cars From The Stars not far from me it has the original car from the Back To The Future film have some pics somewhere
I own a 1:18 version of Christine, and it's available on Amazon:

It's a lot more than I paid for it, but I'm sure it can be found on eBay for less. Also, the headlights can be turned on, which gives it a creepy look, especially at night.
That would make a good Christmas pressie i think I'll drop some hints
I LOVE John Carpenter, but he did not 'get' Christine AT ALL. He has been known to say he never understood what was so scary about a haunted car in the first place...makes you wonder if he read the book...
I'm sure a pro like him would of done a fair bit of research. I thought the film was very good and portrayed Christine very well.
