- I think the point of all isn't how much $$$ do the cars cost
- but how many unique, rare and non-expendable cars are or have
- been wrecked in making of movies. (I think many subscribers
- of this newsgroup agree with that...)
-
- For example, if someone wants to wreck an authentic Ford GT-40
- because he wants the crash to look authentic. They wouldn't
- just wreck $1M worth of steel, aluminium and plastic but one
- of the abt. 200 GT-40s ever built. Think about it...
