The movie was generally well received by motoring enthusiasts. A fan base grew as the production company posted follow-up videos for free download and produced two other DVDs from side projects associated with Jerry Reynolds of Usenet and Torquenstein infamy. However, public attention from law enforcement became unrelenting yet obvious for these people brazenly disrespecting traffic laws in such an in-your-face manner as the movie exhibits. Sections of the film include the famous Gumball quote, "It's Not a Race it's a Rally" uttered during a reckless high speed run between a Toyota Supra and Porsche GT2 on Interstate 75. The vehicles reportedly traveled 48 miles in 17 minutes. Several scenes involving local police and racer interaction were included in the movie, with an added voiceover track that "editorialized" police action from what can be seen as a jaded production viewpoint. Other scenes glamorized high speed pursuits and running from cops. Local police have reportedly used IMV Films video footage to train patrol units, making law enforcement aware of vehicles or characters seen in the DVD.
A major incident that unwillingly placed Vehicular Lunatics into the public eye was the 2007 traffic crash involving Nick Hogan and his Toyota Supra. The Bollea family appeared at Supra meets in Orlando and in the Tampa/Clearwater/St. Pete area during 2004 and 2005. Linda Bollea was documented giving an impromptu speech about street racing, then filmed racing from a traffic light against another vehicle. These incidents appeared in the DVD extra called "Street Racing with Linda Hogan." Her sarcastic ad lib comments were perceived as being in support of street racing; though that was not her intent. This did not bode well for the family once the mass media[3] got a hold of the DVD and the reporting spread.[4][5]
