about 2 weeks ago on the show where they built the hot rods..they were making an all stainless one. The guys heard gravel flying and a commotion in the yard in front of the building...they all went to see....someone drove in the yard which was about 20 yards wide and doing high speed donuts in a 1 gen. he was moving, and kept at it for awhile..camera was on him for 2 min maybe...was awesome.

I've seen the FB in the matrix. Took me like 5 times of watching the movie to see it too. Always kept missing it.

There's a blue FB in True Crime (I think that's the name of it) with Clint Eastwood. When he goes to the cafe to meet his daughter, there is one parked on along the curb.

There's one in Pulp Fiction in the end when Jules and Vincent are talking to The Wolf before he takes off in his NSX, they're standing on the street and in the background there's a wrecked one. If I recall correctly there's also one in the original Die Hard, it's following the robbers (for lack of a better word) van before they actually break into Nakatomi Plaza. Or at least I think it was a 1st gen.

I was watching "Dog the bounty hunter" the episode where they are looking for the 15 year old runaway and there was a very nice white fb with a body kit parked on the side of the road. It's always a treat to spot our cars on tv.
