Default C4 gets trashed in Big Lebowski

I'm a C5'er - but when watching B.L. for the first time last night I cringed in horror as this C4 was destroyed by Big John!

Yesterday’s news there. You must be a “used car” consumer of movies....that goes back to 1998 or so and that was a big deal then.....

not so much now......now they can blow up C5’s with no worries....used cars.

Don’t worry, just saw Gia for the first time the other night. That’s from the same time period...whatever is on satellite tv.. I am a used car consumer of movies too!!

It would have been perfect if Big John set the red Vette on fire: "Torched Red"

I can't think of the name of the series on Amazon Prime but I saw the first half of the first episode about a teenager that had a summer job in a country club in 1986. One of the members had C4 and sure enough, it was an 85. No third brake light, etc. It's nice to see a production look after details like that.
