I just saw it too. Was a quick clip, but its definately a notchie (looks like a bumperpad) getting rear ended by a semi doing probably over 30 at least.

Maybe its the famous.. "Fieros are unsafe" myth??

I thought that was it. Does any one know when the show will be on?

I saw the commercial too and thought it was a Fiero at first, but after seeing the commercial a few times its definately not a Fiero. I don't know what kind of car it is, but its definately not a Fiero.

Toyota MR2, mid eighties.

Yea, that was my initial reaction to, but its definitely not a Fiero, Id go allong with the MR2 idea

man, got my hopes up. lol. been watching all the commericals on mythbusters right now, havn't seen it yet.

No pix from their site but it says "Vodka Myths

In Compact Compact, trucks fused together upon impact, sealing the unfortunate car and driver between them. The team needs a traffic-free stretch of freeway to test this. Kari hosts some urban legends about Vodka and its impact on personal hygiene."

There was an episode with a Fiero, I belive it was teh one where they were seeing what would win in a downhill race, a viper or a toy car...

I believe to find out how fast the car tires could move before comming unstable they set it on the tires of a fiero that was jacked up in the air and put it into gear.

Ive seen that one a couple times, and definitely dont remember that part...

I remember that episode and i can say it wasn't a fiero. I definately would have rememberd that.

Like I said, I BELIEVE that was the one... i dont remember exactly if that was the episode, I just remember Jamie outside standing beside a white 84 or 85. It might have also been the egg drop one... Sorry, I just don't remember the exact episode, do we have any avid watchers? Someone would have had to see it... I am not really one to flip out when I spot a fiero, so it's not all that fresh in my mind.

That is supposed to be next weeks episode. I thought it was a Fiat X19 that was getting plowed into by the Semi. I'll have to rewind the comercial next time I see it.

It's a Fiat X19 not a Fiero, now we can all sleep tonight.

I beleive ive seen all the mythbusters and i have never seen a Fiero on there. But i could be wrong

one time they were talking outside the shop, and there was a fiero behind jamie, only saw it or a sec, but positive was a fiero.

I recorded all of the last show to my HD. Capped a few frames, looks like a Fiat X/19 to me.

I saw that semi hit that poor little car and I got sick to the stomach. I thought it was a Fiero too.
And somewhere out there is a guy thats not computerized yet, no ebay, no pennocks, no nothing except 1 or 2 local junk yards and he's been looking for a right tail light for years to complete his project and then he gets to see a perfectly good fiero tail end get creamed !
And no Tivo either.

how could you guys think that was a fiero I dident even look twice when i saw it.

I guess I was right.
