The green Impala.
Oh man, I think you told me this one time Kurt... was that the one he had when you and Troy were showing cars side by side a bunch of years ago?
Autokraft

Yes it was Scott. I believe it was back in 87-88 Super Chevy in Indy if I remember right.
OK, how's this one...
One of Troy's early cars was featured in a national fast food restaurant commercial. What restaurant, what car, and who was the country singer featured in the spot?

Bill, I think the impala was number two but I can't say 100%
I e-mailed my address.
Thanks again

Yes, but who was the singer?
Autokraft
12-07-2005, 09:25 PM
Alan Jackson?
The correct answer is T. Graham Brown. Not that anybody cares.
Interesting story on that commercial... when they were shooting the driving shot with the model eating the taco, the Buick's hood left the vehicle and went sailing off into the dusty Palmdale air...
Some crews have no respect...

I'm not into country music myself, but several years ago we were producing a segment on Troy for Hot Rod TV, and I wanted to include that spot in the piece. Taco Bell gave us permission, but they told us we had to get a release from the model and the singer. Apparantly, Mr. T. Graham Brown is a Nashville bigshot, and we couldn't afford to pay the music rights to show the spot.
Some laywers ruin all the fun!

Eddie Hill's right, but I thought it was a 4.93?
You're probably right... too many "88"s in my head.

12-07-2005, 10:03 PM
I googled it, I was wrong too. 4.99
How about some more, guys?

Back to the "first TV show to mention sex" question...Was it "All in the Family"??..They had a few "firsts" as I recall.
I think they were the first to actually air the sound of a flushing toilet, it was big news / controversy at the time.... My how times have changed.

I can ask one refering to Top Fuel. It was a very long time ago and some of you were very young then.
Who was first under 5.5 and where. I know because I saw it. Same race had some memorable Funny car runs as well.

I was pulled over once for doing 35 mph over the speed limit on a Frontage Rd (next to a highway).
When the officer asked me if he new why he pulled me over i said to him actually your in front of me and i new i was speeding so i just pulled over and waited for you to turn around so you could come get me (i was at the base of a hill).
He then asked me why i was speeding and i replied that i just got off the phone with my Attorney and i found out how much i was going to have to give to my soon to be x-wife and i wasn't paying attention.
He laughed and said i understand and said try to slow down and good luck with the divorse you will be happier once she is gone,
