Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner - a netflix series with David Chang.

Of course he drives it off a hill. I don't know why movies LOVE totaling FSJs. Am glad for studio magic!

Never heard a definitive answer about FCs being FSJs so...

Caught this one in the opening to a show called “Bless this mess”

Can't find a picture of it online, but if anyone watches the Get Shorty TV series you'll see Louis drives a worn out red J truck. Seems fitting for the character.

Perhaps this is deserving of its own thread, but Jay Leno's garage published a very cool video featuring a restomod'd 1965 Wagoneer.

I was mind blown too. That thing was CLEAN and drove down the road well enough that an actress had no issues handling it. Sure was purdy.
