cars in the ocean.....

wasn't the surviving one the one built for Cosby? He did a bit on it, but I always heard he really did order a twin supercharged cobra from Carol Shelby. He was a big sports car fan back when they were new, and he sure had the money for it.

 

That'll end up like the antique shop selling the actual tomahawk carried by Daniel Boone, the head has been changes twice and the handle has been changes 5 times...........but it's Daniel Boone's 'hawk

P.S, not a true story, just an example for fun.

 

here's the article, there must have been more then two twin supercharged cobra's , Carol Shelbys personal one just sold for 5.5 million, and The one He built for Cosby was destroyed in an accident. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/16745031/

 

OK you just cleared that up for me I love that bit, one of the funniest he ever did

 

That comershal was shot in Ft Brag CA not the base but in Mendicino my Uncle was there
they had a comershal of a car comming out of a water fall also that was shot in a back yard car in a hollow tree with a big tank (bladdea) on top

 

Some random flicks i found online.

I've heard a lot of quaries (did it spell that correctly?) are chock full of old cars...and bodies...

don't be a tool, you don't have to be a tree hugger to give a damn about the planet. believe me I burn my fair share of fossil fuels

 

Is that a Ford?


Or how about "vintage" subway car reefs, courtesy of NYC.

 

Cool stuff

 

wasnt in the ocean, but might as well have been.

 

It's all those rafts from Cuba that never quite made it.

 

Hhahahahahaha, it made me laugh, thank you.

 

A friend of mine works for Mercedes Benz classic center coordinating their cars for events. He told me they have lost cars that were in shipping containers, they were on the ship when they left Germany and not when they got here in the us. He said that they lost a maybach that way. I think I spelled that right

 

if anyone is complaining about the cars being in the river, they actually dump cars, buses,railroad cars etc. they make very good habitat for fish. and when they dump them in the ocean they form the basis for man made reefs. they seem to do more good then harm. anything in the ocean will eventually dissolve, even in cold water, iron eating bacteria will eventually turn it to dust. If you want an example,look at the titanic, when they first found it it was in pretty good condition, it's now vanishing at a rapid rate and a lot of it is just gone. If something that massive will deteriorate like that, a car won't last long.

 

While diving, I see water trucks all the time......

 

i could also use alot of that car haha damn parts for theses 50 wayfarers seem very hard to come by...
