Well, I was looking up George Burns movies, and watched the trailer for Oh God, there is a Pacer in it!
Looks good, I'll have to watch it sometime

Yes, the Pacer is seen throughout the movie as it is John Denver's transportation in the movie.

Overhaulin is cancelled.  It has been for a season or so.  It has been a long time since I have heard of a new episode of "Pimp my Ride" or "Trick my Truck" for that matter.

Pimp my ride is now on Speed, at least it was last time I checked
Also, isn't Pimp my ride the opposite of speed?

LOL I love Back To The Future, only here it's, "Look, it's pLaYtHiNg, only NEW!!"  LOL I don't think that Eagle had the power bulge hood, though, if I remember correctly.   8)

In the back to the future movies, the eagle in the 1st one doesnt have the power bulge hood but in either the 2nd or 3rd one it does, a bit of a mistake in the movies accuracy considering its supposed to be the same car, lol

Not sure if we've hit this one...

I was doing a toy drive for the radio station this past weekend and watched Home Alone 2 about seven times... anyways, theres a part where the scenes change for a second from Kevin in NY to their family in the crappy hotel in Florida.... its raining and you see a glimpse of the parking lot... there's a green pacer or gremlin sitting there.

I forgot about that... never noticed it. That must have been in the "alternate" present day 1985, huh?

I think so. 

The wrecked AMC in the alternate 1985 scene at Jennifer's house in Back to the Future II is a Hornet Sportabout not a Concord.  It is a mid-70's Hornet Sportabout.  You can tell because it has the single round headlights on either side not the square.

I have seen those movies too many times.

Flipping through the channels the other night I saw an AMX and paused. It ended up being an  episode of spike TV's "Manswers". The segment was dealing with if women could was a car with  certain parts of their body. They can. That's all I have to say about that.
