I know it is possible, if the carwash is closed, you can always wash it by hand ;D

IIRC the wrecked version is actually a Concord

I forgot about that... never noticed it. That must have been in the "alternate" present day 1985, huh?
  I never could figure out why, when Marty went from 1955 to 1888 to rescue Doc from being shot they had trouble fixing the Delorean. When Marty went back to 1888 an Indian arrow punctures the gas line right? So Marty leaves it in a cave & goes off to find Doc. They then try to run the Deloren, that Marty came to 1888 in from 1955, on Moon shine right ? & the car supposedly blows the intake manifold or fuel injection unit. At that point of the movie there are now 2 Delorean's in 1888 ! The car that  Doc got sent back in time to 1955  in when lightning struck him flying around above Marty , as well as the car Marty went back to get Doc in. Just like in the second movie you had two Doc's & two Marty's.  So the question is why didn't they get parts off of the Delorean Doc had hidden in the mine & THEN go back to the future (1985)? Because the movie just would have ended there , that's why! LOL

Back in 74 my dad was a construction superintendent for a swimming pool company and had a 74 Hornet as a company vehicle. I just found out yesterday that his boss bought a few AMC Hornets for the fleet right after seeing "The Man with the Golden Gun". He told my dad he could go from job to job like James Bond. I guess movie marketing does work.

RIGHT !  My head has already imploded, so I'm off to clean up the mess.BTW I didn't mean to hi Jack the thread but all this talk about the mistake with that car & being switched because of the dif hoods in the movie got me to thinking about that again.

If you go back in time and kill an ancestor how could you have been born to go back in time etc.
What happens if you go back in time and meet yourself?
Sorry 'bout that.  I read a lot of science fiction.

If you go back in time to specifically do something, and you do it, that means you never would have had to go back and do that, which means you won't do it........

Sorry 'bout that.  I read a lot of science fiction.

According to the BAck to the Future idea, you could go back in time and meet yourself as long as you are able to handle the stress of the meeting (i.e. Jennifer just fainted). 

However, using the "logic" of another time travel movie, Time policeman, the same matter cannot occupy the same space at the same time (which doesn't really make sense when you think about the statement).  In that movie the villain travels in time to meet with his future self, and the two versions of him are pushed together.  Then they cease to exist.  So you could meet yourself if time trael was possible as long as you didn't shake hands or have any contact. 

Man that is a freaky thought.  If I met myself we'd either get a long great or absolutely hate each other.  That would be interesting to find out.

I got Woodstock on dvd (OK, that movie blew my mind, especially Ten Years After - I'm Going Home) there is some great footage of cars, and I think I saw a Rambler Classic in one scene (or should I say half of one scene, watch it and you'll find out why)

Dante's Peak, near the beginning of the movie, when Linda Hamilton and pierce brosnan are First heading up to Her ex-grandmother's place (whoever) they have a shot of the yard when Linda and Pierce first pull in, and in the yard, I could have sworn I saw an Eagle Wagon.  It's in the right corner of the movie.

I just saw it on tv (On AMC Network) and I can't rewind to check it.  Anyone got this movie, and can verify it?


I also remember The first Terminator movie, when that Gremlin was stolen from the police station, and then they ran outta gas, then it was smashed by Arnold in the tanker truck.  I also remember 'The Man With The Golden Gun' and Roger Moore stole that Hornet outta the dealership, and did that jump across that stream (or whatever it was)

And the commericals for the swiffer duster...

And the Garth Mobile - A Pacer on Wayne's World. 

Kinda cool catching those old AMC's on movies.  You guys are much better at spotting them, then I am.
