but from what i understand both stories deal with a vehicle that has developed a mind of it's own, correct? are they any good? is Christine better as being of one of the "classic Stephen King" novels?

Maximum Overdrive is just good old Drive-Inn style fun. For all its bad reviews you'd think the flick was terrible, but it's not. I've never met anyone who saw it and didn't like it..
Nice to meet you! Now you've met one!
Christine is a great novel. Trucks (short story that is the basis for Maximum Overdrive movie) is just meh.
been a long time since I read the book or saw the movie,was there a generator hookup?or was there power to the truck depot by the unexplained phenomena?at worst,a siphoning system probably wouldn't be too hard to figure out..Whenever I read Trucks I marvel at how the survivors were able to pump all that gas the trucks needed so desperately after the trucks, themselves, knocked the power out on page five.
It's probably best not to let ourselves get too bogged down in the minutiae.

Yup - gotta use your imagination - "where there's a will there's a way" - oh dear - starting to sound like Mom nowbeen a long time since I read the book or saw the movie,was there a generator hookup?or was there power to the truck depot by the unexplained phenomena?at worst,a siphoning system probably wouldn't be too hard to figure out..
