Actually - and you didn't hear this from me - I have heard a rumor from a reliable source that a reboot of Thunder Road is in the works. But it was not connected with FFG...
If that's true, that's doubly good news. Would totally buy Hasbro's chromed-out Thunder Road: Warlords of the Highway Base Set or whatever, then cry in despair when no expansions or follow-ups are ever released.
