Yo,

Was watching "America's Scariest Police Shootouts." and spotted a nice Red Series 4 with 5 lug baloney slicers behind a cop hiding behind a car during the infamous West Hollywood Shootout. Those were the guys with the AK's. The paint looked nice and shiny! *grin* I hope it didn't get shot up.

Anyways, I think it's funny that I've got my coworker trained to spot FC's as well, he's all, "Dude, FC!!"

Heh.

1989 GTUs "I see...FC's...they're /everywhere/."

 

LOL I'm trained to spot them as well heres how a spotting goes

me: DUDE FC!!!
Friend: DUDE ROAD!!!

 

Po po: Jesus, did you see that?!?
Other po po: See what?!?!
Po po: The N/A FC at terminal velocity!
Other Po Po: YOu mean I just got worked by an FC (N/A) at full steam?
Po po: Shoot NOW!!!!! Dont lead tbem too far!!
Other Po po: dont worry, chipmunks run faster then that.....

 

ummm wow that was funny and confusing

 

Hah i hear you rarest, ive been known to see one a block or two down the road or on tv and them read the whole tv guide to look for the next time its on so i can confirm it actually was one

 

I SEEN THAT ONE TOO!!!!

that was before i even had mine (but i still liked em!)

 

Yo,


Next time someone will have to record it and do a framegrab. We should have a framegrab collection, like the Insurance commercial and the Almighty Bob or whatever!

1989 GTUs "There's one!"

 

Ya, I am alwyas looking for them I think I know the model and trim of every FC in town by now.

 

Dude, in that same shoot out I spotted a white second gen! A reporter was ducking behind her.


Just like a rexie.....being tough

man, if my car was parked near a shootout I don't think I'd care much about what people said, but I'd be movin my damn car. If the police tried to stop me I'd be like "well then you move it, but it ain't stayin here!" ... I don't think insurance covers bullet holes...

 

Yeah, I remember an older episode where a camaro gets sprayed pretty bad. That would bite - but better the car than me, no way it's moving while I'm hiding under it!

 

ive got a few more spottings:

Geico commerical, where the woman walks/runs to pick up her daughter from school...when she is waiting, there is a car trying to turn into the parking spot where she is, and behind that car is a black FC...

also, Malibu's Most Wanted:
at the store he was going in to rob, there is a blue GXL looked like in the parking lot..

There is also an FB in The Italian Job when they are zooming in on the armored truck with the gold in it, the FB is blue..


I know ive seen more, just cant think right now..

 

I dunno if any of you have seen this, but there's a Monster Garage episode where they take an FC and try to make a dune buggy out of it by putting a huge 5th wheel where the trunk would be. So at the end of the episode they deemed it as a failure, and took it out to a desert and gunned it down with some crazy machine gun for like 10 minutes. Such a sad way to go... If I can find the clip I'll post...
