The Howling is one of those films that are so bad you just have to watch it
 
 to see if it can get any worse!
 
There\'s a red Fb on Lostboys too,only briefly though,couple of lads posing on the beachfront in it.

When Travolta and Samuel L Jackson are talking to Harvey Kietel outside the breaker\'s yard after they dump the car with the blown-up black geezers head in it there in Pulp Fiction there\'s an FB on one of the towtruck trailers behind them

Was The Howling the one where the shock twist ending was the newsreader woman turning into what appeared to be a really non-scary Chihuahua at the end? Or was that like the Howling II or III or something?

On a (sorta) related tangent (errr...) has anyone ever read The Armageddon Rag by George R R Martin? (now most famous for the epic and immense Song of Ice and Fire series). It\'s one of my favourite books ever, combining sixties counter culture revolution, cool rock and roll, black magic, one man\'s quest to find his spirituality in a world prostituting itself to amoral profit, Kent State riots, ghosts, all the usual cool stuff that you\'d look for in a novel. The reason I mention it is it\'s the only book I\'ve ever read where the hero (or anyone else for that matter) drives an RX-7. Given when it was written and the fact the car is often described as a "bronze bullet" it was clearly an FB of some iteration; it\'s set in America and I know they had a goldy-colour model. At one point he even offers someone out with the immortal "I\'ve got an RX-7 in the parking lot, wanna drag, bozo?" :rollin

Someone please say they\'ve read it, I\'ve only ever met one other person who has, and that\'s my brother so it doesn\'t really count :Giggle In fact, he lent me a copy when I was like 18 and had to go into hospital for a tonsilectomy (which was awful), and I\'d read it twice before they let me back out again, and I wanted an RX-7 ever since. It took me years to find my own copy, so someone tell me I\'m not alone lol :o
