was watching the 1st season of Mythbusters today (the one about the bullet flying out of the fuse box and hitting the guy in the crouch),
and low and behold in the Junkyard they were searching through was an bright red 1st Gen.

yeah, as you can tell, im bored

 

tight..find the place and get it.

 

I saw a COPS with a FB at the gas station they were at. Got a little too exicted,but can't help it. I have yet to see a candid shot of a modded one on TV though

 

Anybody else ever see the Knight Rider where the bad guy was being chased by KITT while he was driving an FB? Little bit of sideways action... hehe

Dan

 

I think the junkyard they were searching thru was the Pick n Pull in Santa Rosa...

 

I saw a black second gen. on the Mythbusters "Shop Till You Drop" episode where they were showing where they like shop for their random stuff. It was in a junk yard like right behind the guy on top of a pile of cars.

 

I was channel surfing and saw a red 1st gen on nash bridges it was nice and had a body kit on it and right as the guy got in to the mint condition interior and started it up the car blew to peices then a tear ran down my eye.

 

It is really shocking and sad to see how many beautiful, rare classic cars are destroyed for the sake of us.........the viewer. Guess it is not cool to see an old yugo blow up

 

there was a picture of a red gsl-se in my old geometry book!! It was so random because it didn't have anything to do with what chapter we were on. It was in a wind tunnel and had those things on it that showed the path of the airflow. I alsmost had a heart- attack when i saw it.

 

Usually in those cases there are two cars - one with a nice interior, and another stripped-down one they can ssafely blow without a piece of seat frame impaling someone.

 

the movie jackie brown has 2 FB's in it... one drives by the camera, the other is parked in i think a mall parking lot

 

and here i sit thinking.. wow someone has too much time on there hands.. why don't ya jsut grab a dremel tool and some fiberglass and try to make something creative for ya rides

hehehee

i was just casually walking my dog and bam.. my friends FD got killed by an cruiser.. funny thing is that the cop didn't have his lights on and my friend had the green light.. I wonder whos going to pick up the tab on this one

 

one of the guys from mythbusters came to our school to speak. The redhead one. Interesting person.

 

I saw an Fb on Wildest Police Videos.

What made me snicker is that the guy in the background said that the car had 200 something horsepower, I snickered to myself when I saw it was a very stock GSL .

 

Speaking of rare cars getting destoyed, there was an REPU in "The Rock." Its at the very end of the chase sequence where Nick Cage is driving the Ferrari through San Fran. I'm pretty sure it gets rear ended or nailed in the bed, I can't remember, but it looked like it was in GREAT shape before it got hit.

 

I'VE SEEN THOSE ALSO! I was sitting watching it with my roomate and her little brother, and they were walking through the mall and I was all "OMG ITS AN rx-7!!" and they just looked at me for knowing that and gave me ****.

 

You're kidding! There'a a picture of a red gsl-se in my calculas book. It talks about the rotary engine and something about how to calculate the comperession ratio or finding the displacement or something. It was funny because no one else in my class knew what the funky little triangles were for

 

Haven't seen much first gen stuff on the tube, but I'm also a British car junkie, and there was a show called 'Matt Huston' waaayyy back when. In the intro, every week, they showed some asswipe jumping a nice early Jag Etype (Series I, glass covers over the headlights) into a pond; you could see it ball up when it hit. Man that used to tear me UP.


Love my first gens; got three.

 

and here i'd thought i'd seen every episode of myth busters....

must have missed that one!

 

I had a silver FD in my Calculus book.... dont remember what for though.

 

There are RX-7s in multiple Seinfeld episodes. First and second gens. Parked outside the apartment building.

 

theres a blue 1st gen in...........cant remember name think the hunted or somethind well any ways i was just sitting there with my parents and seen it parked on the side of the road and i just yelled out "holly **** a rx-7" it turned out inn the movie they had to blow it up cause the girl had to met her dad which CIA wanted to kill and some how it got shot at till it blue up

 

I have seen a number of second gen cars used as stunt doubles when they want to send a porshe off a cliff after a car chase.

 

And do not forget about the 1st gen convertible in the 3rd or 4th smokey and the bandit movie or the 1st gen at the gas station in the howling that later has a hidden werewolf jump up from behind the seats, explain that one. What is that line? It is something like "hold your horses not everyone can afford a mazda" from the gas station scene in the howling.

 

Theres a FB in Pulp Fiction.
After they dump the car with the dead guy at the junk yard, they are sitting outside the junk yard talking next to the NSX. If you look behine Sam Jackson and John Travolta there is a multi-car hauler with a FB on it.
