What elements of the book do you wish were in the film?

1) Christine attacking Darnell at his home. 2) Dennis and Lea using Petunia the tanker truck to crush Christine, instead of the trackloader. 3) Move the setting back to Pennsylvania; I think the action would stand out more starkly against a snowy backdrop.

in the book, its actually the ghost of Roland Lebay as the Ghost Driver revving up Christine at night to get revenge on the shitters. Its also him that sells the car to Arnie, not his brother. But they did give the brother some of his personality from the book. especially the back brace. I agree with moving it to PA. the snow scene would have been better when Buddy Reperton buys it. that scene in book was intense. Also, Arnie's dad wasn't a pushover like in the movie.
