I saw an ad for the show.   They are smashing what appeared to be an Eagle into something.  Could be a Concord or Sportabout --- I only caught a brief glimpse.  It definitely was a small bodied AMC wagon.

I'm watching it right now.
I guess they are doing the test in Wisconsin.
Go figure, they are pretty :censored:' common in Wisconsin.
I'm %98 sure it's an Eagle.

OH, and the myth is that a car can be split in two by a v-plow.

They must not realize that Eagle's are not built like "normal" cars.

It doesn't take a smaet guy to know that isn't true
they are destroying our cars in testing myths they know aren't possible

another commercial...

they got TWO AMC's!

One wagon(and Eagle Wagon with Concord marker lights) to test for a front engine car.

And one Sedan( appears to be a concord, but the grill could have been swapped) for a rear engine car.
I guess they are gonna put the engine from this car out from under the hood, and into the trunk to make a rear engine car??

and they arent using just one!! they are using friggn two of them. a wagon and a 4dr sedan.

im going to write them a letter or something.

knowing mythbusters they are most likely going to blow them up at the end also.

edit: hard to watch, but the wagon held up nicely, didnt get quite to the windshield, not bad for 55mph dead on into a snowplow.

Well, i missed the show, I'm kinda glad, it would have made me feel sick.
Yes PLEASE write them a letter. Not only are they destroying an Eagle, but they're obviously messed up about the engine thing AND they aren't even doing good science, taking a unique style of car as a representation of a typical car HUGE mistake......should have used a new car, the myth would have been true and the Eagle wouldn't be busted.....ugh.

I am not sure if it was mentioned yet, but in the new Adam Sandler movie "Bedtime Stories" (my boys new favorite movie) there is a funny scene with midgets in a Gremlin.

I am watching Harper's Island
and there was a scene showing a bar, and there was a blue Hornet Sportabout, 73-74 I think
lots of shots of it now, walking around it and everything, not the best shots, but a lot
