Watching an episode of Family Guy last nite on TBS, the one where they go to get a used car (the red car) from the Used Car Lot...turns out to be a real junker but... Lois opens the hood and says "Peter, it doesnt even have an engine, just a picture of an engine" Pulls the drawing out from under the hood and it was a crude sketch of what looks like a Ford V8 flathead! I was shocked! It had from what I could see 3 exhaust ports, flat lil heads with 4 wires on the p***enger side, center mount generator and the water pump in about the right spot. Anyone else see that? Wonder if the writing team has some hot rodders on it? I thought it was neat.
i caught that episode last night. i thought i was seeing things when i saw that picture. glad i wasn't the only one.
They's car guys all 'round us. Folk like us who put their sig on things like that episode. Little things, that most don't see. I recall a Toyo ad, insignificant except for the licence plate - BSA 441. I loved that one. Cosmo
Everything about this post is deeply disturbing, and now I have to go watch FG for hours and hours til I see the sketch. Now, somebody find flathead references on "Futurama" so I can watch all of that again...
Hey Bruce, most of the FG episodes are on Youtube and Putfile if you don't have them. What episode are we discussing? Anyone remember it's name?
No, dont remember the name but I could prolly dig it up. I have to see how far back the DVR will let me go, might be able to snap a shot of the sketch.
I've seen that numerous times....I think it was just somebodies generic idea of an engine. They're not car guys....they draw/animate Brian's Prius WAY to accurate.
I caught the episode, and vaguely saw the sketch...but I was in no shape to recognize anything...someone wanna post a pic of that sketch?
Family guy is a rip snortin laugh fest all the way! My wife wondered why I laughed at it so much she had to watch herself. Now she,s hooked.....
