I wouldn’t doubt that it was in Fast & the Furious, there’s quite a bit of cars that they need for the sets, and they don’t just magically come up with cars…they pay people to use their cars. Just like a kid I knew that moved here from California, his WRX was in Tokyo Drift

Don is from this area, the car was from Cali.

You’re talking about the red one with Professor SP1’s and the Chargespeed widebody, right?

Yeah, the fucking jerkoff that used to do donuts at the lot all the time even though he was asked not to do it several times. He didnt know anything about the car either. Whenever somebody asked about it he’d give a really stupid answer or bullshit his way out of it.

Theres a shitty Integra in Schenectady with a similar paint job to the BMW in this thread.

it very well could have been in the Scramble Scene in 2 fast 2 Furious

only ONE engine shot, and NO specs on the supposed turbo kit…

oh and it has an AC schnitzer wing AND an M3 light weight wing?

They don’t “pay” people to use their cars unless its in a real scene, they use the cars as extras and people do it for the reputation of syaing their car was in so and so movie…

Which is why a lot of people dont notice some cars because theres hundreds of them in one scene for like 30 seconds and people can pause and say OMFG thats my car
