Miatas on Mythbusters
 

They're going to test some spy myths that involve convertibles. I counted at least three NAs in the ad for it.

That is all.

today?

Next Wednesday at 9 EST.

Saw that too. Sweet.

I think they also have a Transam.

If they use the TA to test things like oil slicks and rockets on the Miatas I am going to be sorely pissed off.

im gonna watch that shit!

I wonder how many used miatas they could find for sale in San Fransisco...
They'd probly have to "beat" a lot of guys to them.

Covered recently. Probably more competition for Cummins diesels and H2s.

I love that show. But I haven't seen it in at least two years. I'll be watching next weeeeek.

i just seen the preview commercial for the mythbusters miata episode. looks like those miatas are in for one hell of a ride!

there is just something about miatas and parachutes that dont mix..... :giggle:

saw it but i'm in my 1 a week night class tomorrow :(

Any online links to this preview for the non cable users?

:bigtu:

On that course they should not need the oil to get away.

thats exactly what i was thinking. i wonder what they did with the cars after they got done molesting them....

They are definitely utilizing trunk space. I didn't know I could fit two 5 gallon jugs back there.

You can when you cut the floor out, haha

Classic tapped up soft top. And lame auto!

Hilarious, but not as hilarious as the mini truck those two fags tooled around in for the older episodes.

Shows me now, how easy it is to cut the floor out,and make the spike drop happen... Taligaiters BEWARE... Im down. I LIKE IT

Watching it now, how exciting!

me too!

the white one has a R-package lip on it, we should start e-mailing them to test roll-bars and roll overs without them.

DVR'ing it no spoiling

An automatic?! What kind of crap is that?

I agree that we should get them to test rollbars.

lets start emailing......................................now :giggle:

When I watched it all I could think of was Jamie saying "It's cute!". I'm surprised to log on and not see you guys bitching about it.

I fell asleep in front of the computer so I missed it. Its on in 30 minutes anyways. Yeah!

only old farts do that! :giggle:

I'm sure some chick said that about his penis so he's just taking out his low self esteem on our cars.

lol the pink road spikes are a nice touch... but whatever jamie rigged up fucked up that pontiac!

I would have liked to see them try the hollow variety of caltrops, lets air out of the tires a lot faster.

I think at one point Adam said, "... fagging around the course..." or something. May just have been the captioning, though. :rofl:

I would bet anything that they get 10K emails about using hollow spikes next time.

Exactly what I thought about the spikes. I also think a few people out there now realize that Miatas are RWD :giggle:

Cool to see them at Fort Ord too, I lived just 5 minutes away from where they were filming as of December '09.

I watched last night and the whole time I was mad they were destroying them... I wonder what they did to the cars after the show... And that oil trap was pretty cool I wanna do it to my car :)

I know! :sleep:


Man the smoke in the trunk. I knew the whole car was going to fill up. But I laughed my ass off for like 2 minutes. That was a good episode.

The only thing I was thinking, was they used a professional driver to drive the TA. In the real world, you aren't going to be chased by a 30 or whatever year veteran who is a professional driving instructor. You will be chased by joe smoe with some half-ass experience who would hit a slick of oil and would spin out...or would hit those giant spikes at a much greater speed. I mean come on, have you ever watched cops?


I think they should have had a regular cop in the TA and the mythbusters in the miatas.

i thought i heard that part as well!

I watched the rerun after that retarded show "Is It Possible?" was over...

I swear I heard it too

The parachute was just plain stupid. Dumbass. Should have used some military smoke instead. The other guys first spikes should have been tire strips of course. The 2nd spikes were better but needed to be a little larger. Biggest problem I had with the 2nd spikes, if you are trying to get away from someone why would you want them to pull up next to you? Kinda like in Pineapple Express in the car chase when he just stops expecting her to just drive by.

That was pretty awesome actually. Anyone notice Adam talking about "Here I am Fagging around this course as *Insert drivers name here* is chasing me around like a lion playing with its food..." lol.

The idea behind the huge spikes wasn't to have them next to you stopped I don't think, it was just his little after thought. They needed to be much larger with explosives... :D
