Finding some real treasures in the Miami Vice: Season One box set. Not as many Cats and 'Birds as you'd think but still found some primo examples. As I get screen shots I'll post them. Here's the first, from "Milk Money", about 8:00 in:
I bet you buy all the 80's TV show DVDs just to look for Cougars and 'Birds don't you? :D
Nah...He digs the fashion sense of Crocket and Tubbs :giggle:
Actually that's true.... ;)

OK, maybe you guys can help...
I've been trying to convince Eric to show up at CJ in his vert dressed as the part playing the Miami Vice theme and have yet to get him to agree to it.
So help convince him! Eric, you did it to yourself, you just keep bringing it up, lol. You know you want to!
Oh Eric, you shouldn't have posted that! LOL! :D
Looks like I need to buy another DVD set! Already got Knight Rider and Starsky and Hutch. Waiting for CHiPs. :)
Not a problem...got the
Miami Vice theme ready in the stereo, and some old-school late 1980's threads in the closet.
Now all I need is a Tubbs. Who's gonna be my Tubbs?!
Anyone?! :giggle:
From a distance, that picture reminds me of Ozzy, Black Sabbath days. Sorry Eric, but Miami Vice cannot touch the awesomeness of the Greatest American Hero. My buddy wanted a Dodge Diplomat like the one in that show for years.
I offer up Bill
man, bringing up the 80's, anyone remember The Wraith?
Yes, I do I have it on VHS only way I could find it.
"Chrysler turbo intercepter"
There was a turbo coupe in one of the RoboCop movies. Maybe I can find a screen shot.
I think that was a modified Mark VII, aka LUX 6000 in the first one.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but in the Movie Terminator 2, during the Dirtbike/Semi Chase scene, the Semi driven by the T-1000 smashes a stripped down hulk of a 83-86 T-bird out of its way. At least it looked like the stripped down rusted hulk of one.....the tail lights looked about right.
Own it.. :hick: It's soooo cheesy it's cool :giggle:
I remember seeing that car at one of the auto shows my sophomore or junior year in HS.....
Actually I think it was the "6000SUX"
I'm pretty sure it was a Lincoln
:spit: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:
i was waiting for that picture to pop up on the net again :rollin:
"i would do anything for love...but i wont do that..."
F you Shawn. ;)
Here's another, from "The Maze", about 2 minutes in:
Great music came from that show as well!
i guess thats payback for the sunburn comment at carlisle huh?
It sure looked like it.
And the 6000 SUX was based on a GM midsize car from the mid 1970s...Buick Regal, Chevy Malibu, Olds Cutlass Supreme...IIRC the doors told me it was the Chevy.
not from miami vice
but from a man apart w/ vin diesel... good movie too

I saw that.....Car was in excellent shape before it got caught in the middle of THAT!
if i remember correctly it had dual exhaust, argent wheels, NO RUST NO DENTS. NOTHING!
:flame:
I am never seeing that movie...EVER! :(
You guys take this all too seriously. You should try being a Crown Vic fan. Have you seen how many Crown Vics get smashed in the movies? You should have felt my pain during the Crown Vic killing scene in the Blues Brother's 2000.They dog piled like 70 Crown Vics, just for grins.
For every show that crashes a fox, I guarantee they crash at least twice as many Crown Vics!!
--Ed
At the movies made here, the most crashed car is the chevrolet Suburban. i had seen at least 30 times......
Yeah, the crown victoria is the second most crashed car here too!
The grand marquis is very crashed, too....
Do you remember the video of madonna Driving a Firebird and crashing a 84-86 cougar ?

:bowdown:
wraith and rad where the best 80s movies growin up :headbang:
iv seen a few out in tv land. never got any stills though.
most recent was a few weeks ago i was up late and the x files came on. it must have been a newer one cause moulder wasnt on it. i would call ith "the brady bunch episode" the kid that played married with children was on this particular episode. a buddy of his went into this guys house because it looked exactly like the brady house from the tv show. the hom owner used esp or some shiznit and ejected the kid through the roof of the house and the kid landed on a light blue tbird.
another was a CSI, this one was another light blue tbird. they find a body in the trunk. i remember another one being csi, another episode.
i remember one on macgyver
a few on cops
one in the movie metro
eh...im sure theres more
The wraith was great. It was so stupid that you couldn't help but like it. Especially seeing the shadows and dust coming from the camera car.
I remember that. I think it only played on tv a couple times because of some kind of controversy over the content or something like that.
There are atleast a dozon fox cougars and t-birds in
Planes Trains and Automobiles. They are all at a rental car place where Steve Martin is left in the middle of the parking lot. If I had the movie, I would put up some shots.
hehe...i was just watching black dog and one of the cars on the car carrier that goes over the side of the mountain was a mid 80s cougar, light blue in color...
How do you get the screen shots? I've tried doing a capture screen before but all I get is a black picture. I researched it some and it has somethign to do with how the DVD plays, goes straight tothe video card or someting........been awhile.
I know there is a scene in one of my Knight Rider DVD's with a box bird.
I don't know if M$ did the same thing Apple did, but on my Mac the screenshot option that's available for everything else on the computer (shift-command-3) is disabled when the DVD player program is running. It's for copyright protection issues. I ended up downloading an add-on to the stock DVD player that lets a person take a screenshot from a separate program. It's a PITA but it works.
Ah ok, I didn't want to have to pay to do it.
Are you on a Mac? If so, this is free: http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/9292

have you seen the moive FX my black gs is in it
Awesome, thanks. :D
No I don't really care for Macs. I know they are great for stuff like this but I could just never get into them. And yes I did use them semi-frequently at my old job so I have given them a chance. OS 9 always gave me a fit. OS 10 was 1000 times better.
I just hate using the mouse, I work faster with the keyboard and the Macs just seemed too keyboard dependent to me.
Anyway enough of that..........I'll try to get some pics up.......
