The big hits firebird

I was watching that movie "the big hit" with a annoying marky mark. Well anyways they totally trash a V6 yellow firebird in it. The thing was mint too with fresh yellow paint. Well anyways it gets totally trashed it brought a tear to my eye. But that car could do some sweet burnouts.

It's always the nice muscle/pony cars that get wrecked in movies, did you notice? Always. Why can't they wreck a nice Camry? Or a shiny Avalon? What about totalling a new car? Why do they always have to smash the classics?

definately coulda been, but we'll never know. lol.....you know what does suck though, i think we're on the bottom of the car crushing scene, it seems like muscle cars are crushed, flipped, and destroyed in films more than any other vehicle, and then us, we have the 6 cyls. that are plentiful, so when ur gonna crush that "hemi" cuda or something, u make sure there's a straight six in it, wouldn't doubt if the one dropped off that cliff in big hit was a 6, nor would i doubt that the one crushed in gone in 60 seconds was a 60 with a formula hood and spoiler (didn't have decals.lol.) etc. etc. etc. sux to own muscle eh. lol. but i'm not complaining. next, i've gotta get some muslce under the hood.
