Possible SVX TV sighting

[cocacola08]

I was watching an episode of the Simpsons last night (30 seconds over Tokyo) and I swear I saw an SVX on the street, I know it's just a cartoon, but hey it'd be pretty cool if one of the artists drew one in the episode.

I'm trying to find a place I can download the full episode to see if I can find it, but I'm stiking out.

Try kazaa. I think its www.kazaa.com its like napster but does really well for movies/tv episodes etc. If you have the name of the episode I can take a look.

in a seinfeld episode. it was the episode where they lost their car in the parking garage. remember elaine had bought some fish and she had to get them back in an hour or they would die. good show. i still watch it at 6:30 everyday.

Check out National Lampoon's Loaded Weapon I. As you can tell from the title it is a spoof of the Lethal Weapon movies and in typical National Lampoon fashion, all movie cliches in general. I love the Lethal Weapon movies so I found it hilarious, your results may vary...

But as far as SVX media sightings I think it is the most prominent to date. That said, we're still only talkin' about 20 seconds here. One of the main villians in the movie drives off in a pearly, squealing the tires! Sound FX magic?

I haven't actually seen the movie in over 8 years, but I knew what an SVX was back then, though I never thought I'd own one! Been meaning to rent it again now that I'm an enthusiast.

There was a cheezy network seiries call "Early Edition" where some random guy got the newspaper a day early. He set off to save the world. His freind, picked up the sport section once and placed some bets, won, and bought a red 97 svx.... unfortunatly it got stripped and trashed in the first episode that he owned it.

The episode is called 'Thirty Minutes over Tokyo.' It took me two days, but I found it.

I watched every street scene in the episode and saw no SVX. There was a car with the basic shape if the SVX, but no split windows so that could be just a coincidence.

You got my hopes up.

I got the eppisode as well... Watched carefully. No svx. I did see the car that looks like the same shape, but like Mr. P said, no half-windows

That's most likely what saw

Mentioned this long ago ....

I was watching a documentary called The Great Egyptians on either TLC or Discovery. Although 99% of it was filmed "on location," they had a brief segment on an Egyptian obelisk in NYC's Central Park. Well, they had an establishing shot of the park from the street, and needless to say ... a pearl SVX rolled by!

Watch a show about ancient Egypt, see an SVX.

I'm wondering if they had re-used this shot in a documentary on cosmetic surgery? I was watching a cosmetic surgery doc on Discovery (They were in Miami at the time) but, there was a street level shot of a pearly rolling by. IT would have driven from Right to Left on your screen -- camera angle was about waist high.

I was up late last night channel surfing and landed on this movie. I had not watched it 2 minutes until it came to the scene with the SVX sliding around a corner making a fast get away. It is worth buying the movie just to see the scene. Maybe I am color blind though because I thought it was a Liquid Silver. I guess I will have to buy the movie just to be sure.

wow...old thread!

It WAS a silver in that movie.

[WestCoastSVX]

Yep, it is a Silver, let me correct myself all these years later! Like I said at the time of the post (wow, 4 1/2 years ago?!?), I hadn't seen the movie since the early 90's before I was that into these cars. Since that post, I have bought the movie and saw that it was indeed a silver.
