i know your all out there.
i just saw this lastnight on the tv. i was watching FOX and i saw a preview for the new episode of FASTLANE when i saw a nice yellow looked to me like an IROC-Z getting smashed into another car in a car battle scene and then it was jumped off of a clif and blown up i must say it brought a tear to my eye and my girlfriend couldn't understand why i was freaking out. she just doesn't understand so watch FASTLANE and tell me if what i saw was true or if i'm just imagining things and crying for no reason lol!

i know that the show is notorious for hurting nice looking cars but i think they are taking it just a little to far when they start trashing third gen's i mean come on how far do you have to go!?

Hollywood got ONE

Well, Hollywood got at least one car that isn't a camaro.

They completely destroyed that Eclipse in F&F. I couldn't have been happier with that sequence. Shoot it up first, then watch the pyro guys have fun.:lala:
