But I’m going to post this one anyway to get it out of my hand and down in writing to keep myself sane. We all remember the scene from the original F&F when the civic went under the trailer, well the trailer was lifted and it was a movie, I was always curious to see exactly what it would take to do that in real life. Real life test is just about impossible unless we do some kind of parking/parked imitation but a real test would be epic. Slammed Miata without a top or windshield can easily fit under neath a real one. Yeah I’m nuts :ohnoes ---

Silly or not, AFAIK it was never replicated. I could make it happen relatively easily with a parked trailer, just drive under it, but at the moment looking at a territory that would allow it and once that is done gotta find a trailer and insurance. ---

If all you wanna do is drive the car under a parked trailer go to a reststop on the thruway and your bound to find at least one parked. ---

Well I could play off this idea and if I’m low enough just drive under the entire line of trailers that are parked side by side :lol ---

^ :lol I’ll pass, but I’ll let them know you’re always looking for new adventures. Only time it would be worth it to drive it under, is like I said, if a bunch of them line up just right and I drive under the entire line, that could get interesting. Apparently there is an abandoned airport out by Herkimer, I’m going to look into that, could be a test location for a lot of stuff. ---

Have quite a few locations in mind for doing this, with the car properly setup I’ll contact the owners of said locations. Around Kohls plaza there is a large variety of warehouses and business with trailers setup and line up, and plan B is right after the highway tolls on I90/87, few others as well. ---

Was fooling around today and started getting some script/directive for the clip. Line : "We are all familiar with the scene from the Fast and the Furious " [Show clip of civic going under trailer]. "There is one problem you see " [pulls up in a regular lowered car to a regular trailer] [get out of the vehicle] “It doesn’t work” [Non action shot from the front of the vehicle showing it won’t clear] [Non action shot from the side] “Real life doesn’t play that game” [Shot of Miata at a different/secluded location from the front][Time lapsed to give the fast clouds effect] [Fade] [Non action shot from the side][Time lapsed to give the fast clouds effect] [Fade] [Non action shot from the back][Time lapsed to give the fast clouds effect] [Fade] “Thats where our new toys comes in” “You see this thing is barely taller then _Mini me_ and weights about as much as him as well, but is it enough?” [Side shot of Miata pulling up to the same trailer] …
