I probably show up twice on a police dashcam from a car chase earlier this week. Guy in a 96 or so Town Car was being chased by some cops and looped back around on the road I was driving on. He was just driving sitting and looking causal like nothing was happening.

Now that is funny. Except for the cost of filling your fuel tanks.

My 79 300sd was seen in the movie "stand up guys" which I worked on. In fact the assistant director made sure they aged my car but the stuff they applied wouldn't come off completely and production repainted my car. That assitant director still thinks I owe him one.

Everyone knows IMDb - Movies, TV and Celebrities - IMDb

But there is also www.imcdb.com which lists every car found in the movie.

Oh no, just checked it, it appears to be gone...

Yep that's the one Evan, turns out our favorite car has been immortalized in an early episode of South Park among many others....

In "Elevator to the Gallows" a Gullwing MB gets rear-ended.
