Someone wasn't a happy camper

Since Maseratis are now reliable I assume the owner didn't do this!

Just a little Bondo..........

 

I hope the interior is RED leather.

 

If it wasn't, it is now.

 

Should be on eBay soon

 

Joe .... you live in a rough neighborhood

 

Yeah, those street gangs in Hershey are brutal ...

 

There was a story on this car a few weeks back. Guy was driving down the highway and someone just open fired on him. I think the driver died

 

Good to know that here in ol`Europe arms are not available in Supermarkets!!!

Ciao!
Walter

 

Walter,
We do not sell guns in Supermarkets, we sell them at Wal-Mart.


Joe

 

But Joe, many Wal-Marts are also Supermarkets, so Walter isn't wrong...

After all, it is an American Way of life: Checkout in the express lane with a six-pack of PBR, a bag of potato chips, and a shotgun. "Sir, would you like paper or plastic?"

Given that the car was moving and the spacing of those holes that was one hell of an assault rifle....
We do need to address the ease of purchase for such weapons in the US....ridiculous.

 

LOL! Yeah, we get that story a lot in the emergency room.

 

This is just the new 4p Superleggera.

 

Those are just speedholes, they make the car go faster.

 

OK settle down on the gun bashing a little. From the pattern of the bullet holes you can see that this was a fully auto machine gun which is already illeagal to own. So once again, the guy who did this really doesn't care what kind of gun laws we pass; he's not turning his in. Looks like the driver probably never stood a chance. Easily could have been one of the stupid gang initiation shooting. If so very sad. Or perhaps he was into other stuff we just don't know.

Besides they passed laws against shooting people so that should stop any future gun violence.

 

It's the Maserati from the NBC television show, "Life". A police officer gets framed for murder, sent to prison for 12 years, before they figure out he was innocent. He gets released, files a suit against the city, wins $$$$$. First car he had (premiere episode) was a Bentley Continental, which his friend accidentally crushed. Then he got a Buick Grand National (GNX?). This past season, he got himself a blacked out Quattroporte. In a convoluted episode, he and his partner had to shoot up his car (to save a hostage). He continues to drive it with the bullet holes in it.

It's actually a very good show, and highly recommended. Sorry to ruin it for all you conspiracy theorists!

Anyone who's ever shot at a car knows that. Firstly you shoot at the driver which would break the glass secondly you shoot out the radiator and tires and then shoot the driver.

(As told to me by someone I believe would know)

 

I remember seeing one episode a while back. Isn't it kind a "Police Dr. House"? He also has "unconventional" methods.

 

I'm certainly glad you cleared this point up because, ahhhh, I was wondering there for a moment ... ;>))

Why would they actually shoot the car for the TV show, they dont have special effects that would make that look real and be more cost effective?

 

"He continues to drive it with the bullet holes in it."

Possibly it's easier to have it for real rather do the special effects all the time.

Car Wash must be a pain though. Duct tape? ;>)

 

Hey Quattroportes are cheap. Beat up QPs that only need to run and look good from 25 yards away into a camera are even cheaper. And if you amortize the cost of that over the 15+ episodes in which the car will be seen, it'll be cheaper yet. And special effects, digital or not, are NOT particularly cheap (though, IIRC, the scene in which he and his partner empty their pistols into the unoccupied car seemed to have some special effects).

Oh, and I suspect that Maserati probably donated the car, or maybe even paid a product placement fee, a la the use of Maseratis in Entourage, etc. When the cop first got the QP, he made all sorts of positive comments about it.

It's still a heck of a good car that can only be 4 years old (worst case).

Aren't they going to fix it? I mean, surely some cameraman in the crew would be happy to buy it cheap from the production company... What a waste if they leave it like that. I feel sorry for it
