Wimmer must import Franzia.

I'm guessing Wimmer drinks that indigestible swill that passes for German wine.  You know, stuff like Blue Nun and Black Tower?

That stuff makes Franzia-in-a-box look like Dom Perignon!

I'd prefer not to have a car made by a guy named Rust. Just like having a baseball pitcher named "Homer" seems like a bad idea.

An example of a movie franchise that's played out too long.  Smokey and the Bandit III featuring an underpowerd 83 Trans Am

And no Burt Reynolds.

All the Bandit cars were way underpowered- at least in stock form.

Considering how much money he ended up losing I bet he would've done that crappy tv movie in the Dodge Stealth.

Today we look at another Dodge Stealth.  In Walker Texas Ranger everyone remembers the Dodge Ram Walker drove and the GMC Sierra in the earlier shows but his partner drove a Dodge Stealth.  I think he drove a convertible Firebird later on but I could be wrong

An interesting pic from the Walker IMCDb.org page.  This has Euro headlights and bumper



Too bad they crash it  :banghead:.  Why couldn't they had used Lincoln, Cadillac, or even a K car limo?

Watched Demolition Man on AMC tonight.  Has a nice Olds 442 in it.  Ironically there is a scene in the  where the car crashes through an Oldsmobile dealer, in the year 2030 something

Maybe GM revives the Oldsmobile brand before then?  You know, in response to some future nostalgia craze?  Hey, it could happen!  :lol:

I remember getting a Hot Wheels Olds Aurora once that was packaged promoting the movie.  I don't recall seeing that car in the movie but the future cars sorta look like the Aurora.
