 Here is the replacement.  This is just in time for the Shoot on the 6th. |

it does look too nice to shoot!
But do you want to use it as a target or a prop? Either way it will be fun!

I will be a target and a prop. The escort had looked almost that good when we first shot it, with the exception of no motor or front wheels. Our UPS guy came by tonight and asked us if it was our car being towed around town on a flat bed. I guess the new owner was busy showing it off in town. I asked the UPS man if he could think of anybody else around that could have shot up a car like that. He stated he knew of no one else. :D

Hope you guys haven't popped that front glass yet.
Would you consider, before we shoot at it, putting a silouette target in the driver's seat and putting one 5.56 shot through the front glass to see if it deflects? Inquiring minds want to know, for purely informational/educational purposes of course. (Hey you never know when you might need to do it for real, I wanna know what the penetration through auto glass is dammit!) |

All of the glass is intact. I would suggest maybe instead of a silouette, be should use a watermelon or a punkin. We could use different rounds too, we have FMP, SP and some TAP (77gr) ammo on hand. I know that a windshield won't deflect a 9mm (we did that on the ford).

OK ....I think I better re-evaluate my ammo....hmmmm....started with a conservative 250 from experience in my first shoot.....with the reactives I thought I might have to bump (pun intended) it up to 500....now I gotta have at least 750....dammit!! If I could make an even grand I would!!! Dammit!!
Hey Jeff does that still run? If so would you be against setting it in park w/ the emergency brake on, and ramming a rod onto the accelerator making it rev full open, then we could open fire on a hot engine!!!! WHHHHEEEEEEEEE-OOOOOO!!!!!!!!! BOOOOOM!!! I can just see the steam from the 200 instant holes in the radiator as well as the pistons flying out from the cracked engine block as the flywheel rips through the hood!!! But thats just me....... |

METALMAN, I'd say you need to seek professional help except for one thing-- I like you the sick way you are!
Seriously though, you don't want exploding pistons. I used to work at Kansas City International Raceway and I've seen entire driveshafts fly more than 100 yards from an engine kaboom. And yes the driver walked away from his Malibu that day. |

Oh boy Oh boy Oh boy. (Licking his chops) How about an alien Fedayeen zombie watermelon(since there is no snow yet) in the seat, now we're talking about a realistic situation. And here I just ran out of fireworks....Yeah right, just kidding. I was thinking that maybe we could get that sucka to fly. Jeff, is it alright to bring other stuff, like TV, another washer and a dryer? Didn't want to just haul a bunch of stuff out without asking.
Man I can't wait till the sixth. This is giving me a chubby. |

My Grand Marquis died on Zeny and stranded her at the VFW last week, so we're looking for a new car. If we get it, I'd be more than happy to donate the Blue Bomber as a target/prop. I could use it to show the guys how to use a vehicle for proper cover, how to exit a vehicle when under fire, and how to take out someone using a vehicle for cover.
Then, CAR GO BOOM! Does Tannerite come in 55 gallon drums?

Technically no, theorhetically yes, but of course a boom that loud would probably bring out the national guard. The amount that set off the washing machine was actually less than what would fill a half gallon milk jug. I wouldn't want to be around a 55 gal. drum when it went off. But I like your thinkin.
