i just hate knowing that the cars i love are killed for peoples viewing pleasure.

petition anybody.

lets also include classic cars in general. i remember when the latest dukes of hazard movie came out. it was said something like 30+ cars were used in filming. most of them end up wrecked.
Well, at least they didn't wreck it, but yesterday afternoon's local Fox-5 news did a bit on diesels becoming more popular, so they opened with some shots of a W123 300D as an example of why "people still think of diesels as noisy, smelly and dirty", while reving the engine so they could film a close-up of a tiny bit of smoke coming from the tailpipe!

Happy Motoring, Mark
