Re: [FWDLK] Last night's "Invasion"

[Garrett <TheBulkster@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'd still like to know if anyone knows the history behind the 59 Coronet 
Convertible in the beginning of Stevie Ray Vaughan's "Superstition" video. 
It was red and black, and a 59 Dodge Convertble...can't be too many of those 
around.  I know I mentioned it before, but to the best of my recollection, 
nobody knew anything.

Speaking of wrecking cars, anyone ever watch Mythbusters?  It annoyed the 
crap out of me that people complained about them "harming" a retired Crown 
Vic police car, so they went out and found a Fury in nice shape to 
destroy...I can't remember what year, but it was somethin' like a late 
60s/early 70s model.  Basically a metal brick, but still a nice car.  Isn't 
that what old Crown Vics are best for?  Being destroyed on TV shows?  They 
need to do yet another Blues Brothers movie, and just wreck as many 90s 
Crown Vics as they can find (no Caprices though)...don't even need a plot, 
they just need to wreck some cars.
