On the CBS show Scorpion the other night, the good guys stole a vanagon from the bad guys to make their getaway. The details were rather silly. At first it wouldn't start because the alternator belt was broken, but they braided one out of paper. Then they hotwired it under the steering column with no attention to the steering wheel lock. The shots of the engine compartment looked realistic, but the sound of the engine was all wrong. Larry A. |
