I was watching a Mini Series called Breaking Bad on AMC and there was a tan Eagle wagon in the opening scenes of the show. I thought it was kind of fitting that the show was on AMC. The show will air again this evening 5/17/09 at 11pm. eastern daylight time. Maybe someone will be able to catch it.

I'll have to watch that cause I've never seen the video for it. I've heard the song 100 times or more i can't believe I've never seen the video. I remember when it came out and when it was #1 on the charts.

I was watching the old 80s flick Loverboy a few weeks ago and there is an Eagle (or maybe a Concord, I can't remember) in one of the background scenes.
My Eagle is better than your Jeep.

And a Grand Wagoneer has a staring role as the Wife's (Skyler?) ride. Good show, by the way. It can be slow at times, but still good.

I watched Bethoven III yesterday for the first time, and I got a kick out of the 2 guys in the yellow Pacer.  The poor Pacer.  What they did not do to it and what they did not put it through.  I about choked when I saw cement pour all over that beautiful yellow paint job.  I was not sure if Eagle Kammback had written on this movie, or not but it sure was fun to watch the antics with the Pacer.

If you can't tell a Gremlin from a Pinto then your eyes are worse than mine.

With the recent passing of David Carradine, it's worth mentioning that the movie "Cannonball" (NOT Cannonball Run) features Rambler after Rambler after AMC.  They are all through it, everywhere in the movie if you pay attention.  In one scene a deputy sheriff is driving a '66 Classic hardtop, chasing a couple of main characters around a highway construction site, and there is a scene near the end where there is a huge pileup on the freeway after Joe Don Baker(I think that's who it is) is shot, and there are AMCs, Nashes and Ramblers in the big pile of burning smashed up cars.  Carradine plays the major part, a guy who rules that race, and his name is "Cannonball".  He drives a pretty nice '73 Formula Firebird.

It's a terrible B movie about the West Coast to East Coast running of the Cannonball.
