    I'm watching Lethal Weapon 3 and this car made me pause the movie. I can't find anymore information on the car or other pics. Does anybody know anything about it? i000984.jpg vlcsnap-2011-12-24-15h51m19s70.jpg

  2. I've seen bits and pieces of it over the years, but don't know any details, and would like to.
    Hopefully it's been around long enough to not be OT here, and someone can provide some details, with more pics, :)

    Found this picture, but don't know any more about it. Can't make out George's last name. 9273842248_1ee4d5e000_b.jpg

    I like Rene Russo, but that doesn't help.
    Wild looking wagon!

  20. I was at Sears Point the day of Sporty45's vid. He'd make a U-turn at the end of the track and wheelstand coming back to the starting line. Didn't know it was in a movie.

    There's a 56 in the same scene with some giant meats under the rear end.
