Realestateross ◊ 2012-07-26 08:33	Isn't that a 1977 Mazda REPU (Rotary Engine PickUp) in front of the VW? I don't see it listed with this movie. Note, it appears more fully later in this scene, as it's windows blow out from the shockwaves of the house imploding. -- Last edit: 2012-07-26 08:34:42

Baube ◊ 2019-08-10 00:07	i think first would be better but its only my opinion
