    Mythbusters shooting up a RRC

    For the next few days, you can watch the Mythbusters (ep 148) crew bulletproof what appears to be a 90's RRC. Not only do they mistreat the vehicle by shooting it, they add insult to injury by filling it with blow up dolls.

    SBS: Mythbusters

    Oh the pain, the pain. ( That's the bit where they throw leather seats away)

    put a tear in my eyes I and many of us could of used bits off that car.
    they could of used a old crappy one (or a P38a) not a nice tidy unit like the black beauty on the show.
    wonder if the upper tailgate is still good!

    I would happily shoot a Toyota ! But the poor old Rangie.

    What we would consider VGC cars are dime a dozen in USA - so thats what happens !

    Mind you early in the first series when they did the JATO one, they couldn't quite bring themsleves to destroy a VERY clean T-Bird.

    Something tells me they would've got more than '15 miles per hour' out of it...if they'd chucked her into low-range!! Americans.

    Last week on the "spy" episode they banged up a couple of Mazda MX-5's ( well looked like ) plus some other sports coupe ( couldn't make out the brand ) with a V8 in it. This was testing myths about losing a car chasing you.

    few years back, they brought a car and left a coupla dead pigs in it for a while to check some myth about cleaning a car after dead bodies have been removed.

    I think the person that sold them the car, got pretty crancky with them and it made it to their show,

    some thing like that
