I completely forgot that I had registered on the Nest after I bought my wagon.  I'm mostly just a lurker...

in the movie ruthless people there is a gold and black gremlin in the scene where Danny DeVito's character hands over the money to his wife's kidnappers.

Pacer gets stomped in the intro by an invisible elephant on The X-Files tv show, episode "Fearful Symmetry".
Lurker & unintentional thread killer.
The power of accurate observation is commonly called Cynicism by those who have not got it.

Dunno if this is the right place for this, BUT in one of Seinfeld's Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee, he picked up Jon Stewart in a Gremlin, but then he just couldn't take it so they switched to an AMX.

In the TV show Halt and Catch Fire, a Gremlin gets in a wreck in one episode, and in another episode, there is a Concord.

Just seen an '80 Eagle wagon (maroon & looks like it has a lift) on tonight's episode of Defiance on SyFy (episode: "Slouching towards Bethlehem)". Kenya & her kidnapper have a fight scene on and near the Eagle.

Also there's a Pacer wagon a little later behind Nolan. And a little later Amanda drives up in the Pacer to the kidnapper in the Eagle wagon where he has Kenya in the rear.

Must be AMC day on Defiance tonight.
