Sometimes in American cultural history a work of art is released unto the world and it so perfectly represents a region, a people, and a heritage that it must be remembered forever. One such work of art is the iconic 1977 movie, Smokey and the Bandit. It starred the greatest Florida State University alumni of all times, Mr. Burt Reynolds.

The plot involved a plan to drive from Atlanta, Georgia, to Texarkana, Texas, and return with a truckload of beer within 28 hours. The Bandit would run interference in a Pontiac Trans Am and Snowman would drive an 18-wheeler full of beer.
