Saw a green bump on a commercial for a smrt phone. My wife doesn't do commercials, so I don't know any specifics, but it was fun to see on such a techie commercial!

Mississippi Burning. There are some bump busses that are used when bringing in people to sweep the swamp.
Also keep in mind...those were BUMP busses, but the movie was set in 1964.
Is it bad if I look for things to pick apart on movies?

I am sure it was. But it was a great movie. Reminded me of some of the oldtimers when I was growing up. Miss them all :pray:

Not sure if its been said or not but the movie In 05' Hostage with Bruce Willis had the three bad guys driving a 67-69 2wd at the begining for the first 20 or so minutes. It was a bad arse ride with over sized tires on a 2wd

at the risk of being repeatitive, The goonies, during the open chase scene, 1 or 2 2wd bumps and a handful of 4x4 bumps ranged 67-72. go figure the movies setting is oregon in the 80'sa when some bumps would only be preteens and teenagers.

I took the little lady to see the Dark Shadows movie and there was a bump driving down the street (away from the camera) in the background for a couple seconds. :thup:

There's a 68/69 F-100 or F-250 at the end of a new Geico commercial. It's the commercial with the parade going on in the background. At the end, just after they show a float with a giant Geico gecko on it, there's a bumpside towing another float behind it.

I'm sure someone has said this already, but there are five in Bullitt at the beginning of the chase scene when McQueen is driving under a bridge, and right before the car chase begins, also during the middle right before the guy on the motorcycle, and while the charger rubs the guard rail on the highway, and when in the small yellow car there looks to be a camper after they stop on the side.

Anyone see the new movie "Hit & Run"? David Koechner's character had a bump that got a few seconds of screen time! He then stole the engine out of Dax Shepard's awesome Lincoln for his bump! The movie had some chase scenes and was pretty good. Not the best car movie of all time, but definitely not the worst either! :thup:
