Horrible! Throwing bowling balls at S13 on Letterman...

Post by **stickgoat** » Mon May 05, 2003 6:13 pm

If anyone watches David Letterman tonight, you'll see the segment where they think it's a good idea to drop bowling balls on a white S13 coupe from the roof of a building above. They're calling it "dropping bowling balls on a used car".

It ends with a pink ball wedged in the sunroof. Horrible.

Dammit! A white coupe! I would have traded him my FB for it...why couldn't it have been a HON-DUH?

Post by **stickgoat** » Mon May 05, 2003 6:13 pm

Thanks Edgar! I'm actually thinkin' of keeping the S14 for now. It's a good car, and I have the project Laser to satisfy my "other car" needs.

It had to be a coupe, I sure hope the destroyed a car with no motor, cuz no one would want a white coupe in good condition with no motor... =/

Because the Honda probably held its value better then the Nissduhan.

I hope that's sarcasm. I was looking for a white coupe with no motor for months. I never found one so I had to "settle" for my S14.

Last night on national TV David Letterman destroyed a perfectly good 240sx. The theme for the night was dropping things off the roof. The poor little sx was demolished by about 10-15 surgically targeted bowling balls.

Now is the time for all good people to come to the aid of our favorite car brand. I am calling for a massive letter/e-mail campaign to protest this outrage!

Actually it was pretty neat as were the cans of paint, golf balls, tv, assorted melons and stuff I can't remember. If this show ever come up in reruns be sure to see it. Check out http://www.cbs.com/latenight/lateshow/ and click on "Big Show Highlight." I couldn't get it to run but I think its just the paint. Go to http://www.bobborden.com/ to see the guy who owned the car.:pface

Ouch...

I say we find the guy and cut off his nuts...I want an S13 coupe and white would be the perfect color.

Post by **UncleBen** » Mon May 05, 2003 6:13 pm

screw letterman. stupid a.ss hole.

Post by **sultan** » Mon May 05, 2003 6:13 pm

this bob borden seems to be a moron based on his site, and even more so for destroying his S13. letterman sucks anyway, so does leno. conan rules!

Post by **krazy skwerel** » Mon May 05, 2003 6:13 pm

yes conan rules! Lettermans writers are a bunch of bastards for this idea. it makes me cringe cause i have a white s13 coupe. It should have been a KIA!!!

Post by **driftaholic** » Mon May 05, 2003 6:13 pm

i agree, shouldn't have been a car with any kind of potential...

Post by **f1seb** » Mon May 05, 2003 6:13 pm

Jeezz all you people whine about this. Who cares. It was only and S13. Probably cost like 500 dollars anyways. Whats that kind of money to the tv network, they destory nice cars in movies cause they can afford it. Theres a million S13's around this country so if one dies it wont make a differnece to me. At least it got publicity while it went to the big junkyard in the sky.

Now if that was a Ferrari or a Mclaren F1, then this post of angry people would make sense.

Yeah, Conan rules...but Leno's headlines are GREAT!

true, but in most cases the cars they use for the destruction sequence are replicas.
