Great driving, fairly pointless though!

The tire marks from the previous 4 takes were sort of distracting, just like watching an A-Team episode car chase.  Must have gone through many sets of tires, maybe a few body panels.  I guess anything goes for filming in LA.

White Bronco was my favorite part.

J-440

 I'll bet the LA commuters were pissed off those days of shooting.  Traffic already sucks in that city and to have the roads closed off for one dude joyriding?  :icon_smile_big:

So what was the point?  Sure the Mustang now has all the power it needs to do drifting, donuts (in a donut shop parking lot no less), etc...but I would like to see it on the track taking on other cars.

Not sure I needed to see the "O.J. white Bronco" that made the LA PD look like morons.  They should have stopped it and then you would have seen O.J. do nothing but put his hands up (To gutless to shot himself).

As for the LA commuters being put out: everyone in the area is familiar with the bridge that crosses the "LA River".  It's been used in countless movies from "Blue Thunder" and "Grease" to the "Terminator"...most avoid it when they can.

I just wonder how much they had to pay the LA PD to be a part of this "exercise".  Usually, something like this would be done with off-duty police officers (paid for their time) and scheduled for early Sunday morning.  (Look at the traffic on the freeways, its light for LA). 

Having said all that...the car is something else....
