Nice!  Thanks Coogar, I've been meaning to bring this thread back up but have been too lazy to search for it.  I know, I know.

My son and I make a sport of watching (sometimes terrible) 80s movies to spot our cars in them.  Here are the most recent ones we have spotted.

My son and I rewatched Terminator 2 yesterday and spotted a few more cars in addition to the burnt Thunderbird shell in the drainage cbuttstuff and the blue Thunderbird that drives by in the background when Arnold is on his motorcycle in the mall parking garage.

I was pretty excited about this one because it appears to be a pretty customized 83-86 Thunderbird.  It has ground effects, spoiler, and aftermarket wheels.  Looks like all the trim is painted body color too.  The Thunderbird that drove by earlier is also seen parked here across the aisle.




This one was spotted by my son and I was pretty much in shock he was able to spot it because of how briefly it appears on screen.  He told me to rewind because he thought he thought he saw a red pinstripe on something and it caught his eye.  Sure enough, it is an 87-88 Turbo Coupe.

I was watching reruns of cops last night and caught a glimps of a mid 80s Cougar. There was also a cop show on animal planet, they had a kid pulled over in if I remember correctly it was an 87-88 Bird. He had a lot of drugs in it.

Saw this thread pop up here and found a reference I made earlier to "Planes, Trains and Automobiles" Movie.  This is unedited for language, pretty rough.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cmg3nlAPVK8
