Nathan,

I read the Stephen King book when it came out in ‘83.  Then my dad and I saw the movie at the theater, might have even been opening night.  Seen it many times since then because I too loved it.  
Long story longer….my mom and I went to a local library book sale last year and I bought the audiobook on cd for like 25 cents!  I finally decided to revisit Stephen King’s novel by listening to my copy on cd.  I’m almost finished and I had forgotten how many parts of the movie differed from the book.  The movie actually made for a tidier storyline in some regards.  Anyhow here is the main thing I had forgotten about the book……in the story Christine was a 4 door!!

But you know what’s funny….while listening to the scenes involving the car in my mind’s eye I definitely always see that 2 door from the movie!!

I have never read the book, but that's very interesting that Christine was a four-door in the novel; must've been more appealing for the movie that they made her a two-door. I should probably get my hands on the book (just did, like a few days ago in a book store but I didn't think to buy it); as I am curious about how the book was done compared to the movie.
