Ironman tragedy.
Went to the movies on Monday, and almost cried when I saw Ironman crush a gorgeous aluminium bodied Cobra.
OUCH !!!!

I'm glad it was aluminum. I hate when they smash a fiberglass Cobra in a movie and you see 'glass shards everywhere. Sorta ruins the movie experience for me, ya know?  |

Wazza, I saw the movie last night. Luckily I'd seen the Cobra scene in the previews or I would've been traumatized to see it on the big screen. Sad ending for a Kirkham! Great movie though.

Hell I was worried when he gravitated over all the cars with the jet propulsion flames raining down.
Then to crush it - ouch.
Mmmm anyway his little redhead assistant will help him repair it.. 
I really like the technology he had for checking the compression loss on that little V8 side valve in the hot flamed '32 roadster.
Mmmm a perfect garage for Stiffy he had better go off and watch the movie..

Why Why
why Do they always trash the cobra .
I would have been quite happy to see a ferrari or lambo get crushed but not a cobra but really would like to see them crush a holden or 2'000'000.
Just so we can get the engines and put them in cobras.
oh what warped sense of humor i have.
Enjoyed the movie . but not the damaged cobra. and the fact that it was alloy made it worse. most punters would never know or care if it was glass or alloy .

So do you think it's worth more with movie history as is, or is it worth more repaired?
Great movie!

I'm betting the producer/director bought the car to use in the movie. The production company insured it and paid for the repair, and the producer/director bought the car from the production company at the end of production for a dollar.... Cheap and somewhat legal way to get into a Kirkham .....
Or, of course, they may be holding onto it for the inevitable sequel?
Just my 2 cent's worth...

Notice that Audi, which I heard was rumored to have paid some big sponsorship bucks, did not get a scratch.

The various car companies such as Audi pay a lot to have product placement in movies - just think James Bond post the Volvo P1800.
Kirkham need to come clean and tell us how many million they paid..
Think it was Bad Boys 1 where they crashed the blue/white Cobra into the airport deflect wall..:confused;
