BoostCreep posted:It was nearly a new car at the time and they were making plenty more. After reading the description in that video, they didn't even destroy the '64 picture car. They went and bought a used '63 to crush, and it was only one. I could have sworn I saw something where pretty much any car is a shell in a modern day movie (that is completely destroyed).

Rugoberta Munchu posted:Starting at 2:45 It takes a special kind of rear end in a top hat to crush a very repairable 57 Bellaire. I know I've said this in the past, but growing up in Houston, there was a very large VW graveyard. The old fucker who owned it would not sell ANYTHING. Mostly because a ton of it was stolen. Well, when he finally keeled over, the place got foreclosed on, and they crushed EVERYTHING. 100s of cars. Split window bugs, tons of buses, lots of money.

I saw this guy today. Not the best angle, but essentially only about 1/3 of the tire was actually inside the wheel well. Both sides were like that, too. He was driving about 20mph, so I ended up passing him and continuing on my way. Half a minute later, a police cruiser passed me going the opposite direction. As the cop gets in sight of this joker, I catch a sudden glimpse of  in my mirror.

Hashal posted:I could have sworn I saw something where pretty much any car is a shell in a modern day movie (that is completely destroyed). Absolutely not. It is much cheaper just to buy a real car and destroy it than pay someone to create a replica. In the film industry nobody cares about vintage this or classic that. Why spend $20,000 on a replica of a classic muscle car when you can buy the real thing for 10? It all comes down to the bottom line and what fits in the budget. You should see how many real vintage items are used as props and then thrown away after a shoot because it's cheaper and easier to dump them in a dumpster than go through the process of selling them off again. I've witnessed conversations like this first hand: "what should we do with these perfect condition 1930's deco radio and refrigerator?" "we're done with that scene. just trash 'em." The film industry is extremely wasteful. This was a very real '70 Charger that was destroyed. In fact they destroyed quite a few of them for the first film alone.  What is common is building a replica of a super rare car out of another vintage car because the original version is usually too expensive to buy for the film. They would buy, for example, a base model '67 Mustang with a 6 cylinder engine and build it to look like a GT500 instead of buying an actual expensive Shelby car. While this is somewhat better, they are still destroying probably several classic mustangs in the process. Here's a good video showcasing the cars that were built for the 4th Fast and Furious movie. They built 240 cars for the film and destroyed pretty much all of them. Don't click if you don't want to see piles of wrecked Gran Torinos. They bought 9 of them for the movie, built them all to look the same, and then wrecked 8 of them during filming. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=778mkceE0UQ

At least, that's what I was hearing a few years ago, not sure if the ECUs on the modern trucks will allow that. DocCynical posted:I don't think this person understands how the box of a truck works. I completely agree, but I'm not sure the box of that truck really counts. In fact I think less hangs out of the cab window than would hang off the tailgate if he tried to put that in the back... that's why I don't even consider anything under a 6 foot bed, it makes it pretty difficult to pick up a load of lumber or plywood on the way back from work. kastein fucked around with this message at 06:23 on Sep 29, 2012 |

The cab of a Sport Trac is longer than the bed. Those 2x4s are shoved down the passenger footwell (or up to the dash down the middle of the truck), they're probably 6-8 feet long and the bed is like 4.

One of those godawful "M5s" was for sale in alberta awhile back for about 20k. Someone went through the trouble of buying the movie car, and importing it to canada.

I saw one in Baton Rouge the other day that said "Fighting terrorism since 1861" with the confederate flag on it. What's really sad is that there were two little kids in the van so I know how they're being raised.

There's a truck parked here that has a bumper sticker that says "You keep your (something I forgot), I'll keep the change" alongside a Semper Fi sticker.

veedubfreak posted:As much as I hate the DPF on my car eating a solid 20hp and 5mpg, the fact that douchebags can't run smoke tunes on their trucks anymore almost makes it worth it. As some of you know, I do a decent amount of work on DuraMax tuning. Trust me, morons run smoke tunes through a DPF all the time. As long as they don't leave it on a smoke tune for more than a few minutes at a time it doesn't totally screw things up. It's just less black and sooty and more white and oily. Also, one of the first things you do to get more power out of one of those is replace the exhaust (which includes a DPF delete), followed by blocking off the EGR. Modifying the tune to keep the ECU from freaking out about their absence (including making them not throw codes and light the MIL) literally takes me less time than the actual flash process to upload the changes to the ECU. Of course, this is for off road vehicle only. Amirite? And on the terrible car stuff, just about every person who has/wants a 5-way tune switch saves one or two slots for either a smoke tune or a really stupid lopey cam idle sounding tune that I came up with while playing around with a friend's truck. It's terrible, and I'm a terrible person for being an enabler. To my credit, I at least try to talk them out of that crap.

Actually you're not a really dedicated terrible person, Sir Motronic. You've always provided reasonable and sound advise. I'm a tad ahead of you regarding bans and probations, but I'm pretty sure you'll eventually catch up. You're one of the very few people (about 12-15) that keeps me coming back to this forum.

What's really sad is that there were two little kids in the van so I know how they're being raised. That reminds me of a shirt I used to see around Arizona a lot -- an old photograph of Geronimo and his band, standing defiantly with rifles, captioned "Homeland Security: Fighting Terrorism since 1492." I kind of like that one.
