Yes there is.

Watch its one of the first ones, really short. The popup headlights and the front end give it away.

Looks like a 2 tone one to me.

That's not a 1st gen. Look at the rake of the windshield, it's either a 240SX, a second gen or a 924. You can't tell if the headlights are round or square.

I see square headlights on the car at the start so I'm thinking maybe 240 and I see big round headlights on the car at the end so, a Miata.

Can we send this to CSI so they 'clean' it up...

Dont think its a 240 SX, more likely a Honda Accord with popup`s.

furthur investigation on this topic ... looks like a 1st gen to me .... by the looks of the mirrors, and that sharp front end, down's have any grills in the front like the accord or prelude ... whatch the last few milli seconds of that clip when the car is almost fully side ways.

It's a Miata... Look at the rear end of it. It has a trunk. Miata, unless it's got some custom bodywork.

There's clearly a grill. 2nd gen Prelude.

Even though the clip is horribly compressed, you can see just a flash of the chrome Honda badge just above the grill.

Lol. For all the Honda-hating on this forum, it's ironic that even a few can't tell the difference between a Prelude (or Accord, I'll allow that possibility) and a 7.

That, I assumed was an old Accord... I was talking about the LAST car in the clip that got owned by the salt truck...

lol, I just see the vid and think "AHH, undaa, undaa, undaa!".. or maybe I been watchin too many option vids lately..
And I think that 2nd car is a 1st gen eclipse or talon or whatever. The ones with the flip up headlights. The one near the end is definitely miata. Maybe we should start a poll. heh

I wasn't referring to you. The last car is obviously a Miata.

And people wonder why I hate to even think about getting out on the roads when there is snow on the ground. It is not that I cannot drive on it, it's all those other morons out there that think they can, that scare the hell outta me.
