Perfectly good 3rdgen Camaro destroyed on Smallville
What does it say about our cars when 2 weeks in a row, the WB's Smallville is crashing and blowing up decent straight 3rd gen Camaros. They ran a red one off the road and blew it up in last night's episode and next week they show a blue one going off a cliff. What the crap! Here I was happy to see the car on the show and they went and killed it.
Poor car!
A moment of silence please...
Just thought I would share!

That was a pretty good episode.....besides seeing the Camaro get completely destroyed..... I thought Clark could have atleast saved the Camaro....! Looks like next week another one is getting destroyed....but..that is one hell of a show...it's great!

I think that they used 2 different sport coupes,one of them seemed to have been an 82-84 but the one that gets destroyed was an '85-87

I hate how in almost all TV shows and movies, all the cars seem to be in great shape, would it kill them to show cars that actually have rust, primer spots, faded paint, etc.
I am more upset over the sky blue porsche that got driven off a bridge, which also had a straight body. I hope they never do it to a Countache, if they do, I am writing a letter to the producers.
Its bad that they destroyed the thirdgens too. I don't see why they couldn't destroy a beater.

I was going to post that I saw a ThirdGen Camaro on Smallville. Then it got blown up soon after. So much for the car having a recurring role.

it looks like the glass is coming out because the car was most likely modded up for the stunt crash. Im a huge Knight Rider fan and the series is back on Si Fi channel and its cracks me up when I see the stunts being performend with the cars they used. you can always tell when KITT is about to do a stunt because the front nose doesnt fit to goos and there is a huge gap where the hood meets the cover and the windshield is resessed back into the pillers. also also notice NO seatbelts in the car at all. the worst is the movie Blackdog. They killed that blue Iroc

Granted that some of the shows on the WB are catered to girls kids,but there are adult/family shows on there to like Reba,Family Affair,Smallville,Angel,Buffy the Vampire Slayer,Thirdwatch,and Fastlane. Smallville is hardly girly or not like any of the wishy washy shows like Dawson's Creek,$hit like that.Smallville is about the furthest from being a sissy show as you can get,it's mostly an action drama.Watch it sometime,you might like the show.It beats that Knightrider any day which was error prone,comical,and had bad acting.

I work in the film/television industry in Vancouver on a show called Stargate and I know a lot of the crew on Smallville, they are by no means a big budget series...the 3rd gens you saw destroyed were very likely POS cars that may have been dressed up to look good.
I worked on a small feature film years ago where we had to have a semi flatten a new Porsche 911 convertible, we bought a rusted out older 912, put on replica wheels, photo copied a newer dash board, gave it a quickie paint job and it looked very convincing on film.

YOU ARE ALL WATCHING ENTIRELY TOO MUCH TV. I HAVE DETERMINED THAT THE PEOPLE ON THE OTHER BOARDS REPEAT THE SAME QUESTIONS/PROBLEMS OVER AND OVER SINCE THEY ARE TOO LAZY OR STUPID TO USE "SEARCH." BOREDOM HAS NOW REDUCED THE REST OF US TO TALKING ABOUT TV SHOWS!!

stupid writers for the WB should know that for ever **** burner they run off a cliff or blow up, that's about 100% more viewers that would tune in to the show! maybe they are implying that only hoosiers from small towns own camaros
