   Get Smart Car – Red Sunbeam Tiger convertible sports car issued to Control agent Maxwell Smart (Don Adams) on the espionage comedy series GET SMART/NBC/1965-70. During the second season Maxwell Smart got a blue Karman Ghia convertible. During the fifth season, Max drove a gold 1969 Opel GT sports car. On a few occasions, Max drove a white Mustang convertible.

   Those $1m track homes blow my mind. Every time I drive past there I shake my head. The houses are so close together, you could jump from one roof to another.

   loving the chaos….the random videos are fun to watch once in a while.

   Was that the same Chevy wagon used for the Ghostbusters mobile?

   Flying the Cal Poly flag?? JtR, do you fly your Cal State Fullerton colors at home?

   Forget the statue of the Lion. Get a statue of Fido instead:

   I’m not sure you grasped everything available in this video.

   Tell me you know who Agent 99 was.

   This is the exact reason I read everyday…..one never knows what to expect but to see a vintage Chevy going down the freeway………….just WOW! My first car was a 55 four door Chevy and I can still close my eyes and see that two tone paint job. Thanks for the memories!

   I never really got into “Get Smart”, but I do remember re-runs of The Man from U.N.C.L.E.

   I didn’t really appreciate Mel Brooks’ humor until I saw Spaceballs.

    Blazing Saddles had to be one of the funniest movies ever made – #6 on the Top 100 comedy films of all-time (and the five above it could be disputed):

    Jim, I do not think flying the poly flag is strange…Poly grads are special (our mothers told us so)…. BTW the ford mustang was named by a Poly engineer for the school we love…GO MUSTANGS!

    Here….I fixed it for you:

    1.) Airplane
    2.) Blazing Saddles
    3.) Young Frankenstein

    Blazing Saddles lost out by the slimmest of margins because Airplane had the Jive Talkers.

    I went to Comic-Con back in 2003 and the Jive Guys were signing autographs outside of the convention. They had no visitors while I was there so I was able to chat it up with them for awhile. They told me about how the jive talking was something they completely made up out of random phrases.

    The youtube video is hilarious because the writers of the movie just sound so silly trying to explain the Jive Talkers.
