About me; Hmm, let's see -- I've been a car freak and a road geek since my early childhood in the late-1960's, and a major contributor to the Internet Movie Database since approximatley 1997. I frequently find some notorious automotive goofs in movies and television shows, like Ed Harris in "Radio" driving a 1979 Ford Pickup in 1976, and Fran Drescher in "The Nanny" eluding to a prior tryst in a 1972 Mercury Monarch, despite the fact that it wasn't made until 1975.
Cars I've owned:
1)1972 Oldsmobile Delta 88 Coupe.
2)1978 Chevrolet Nova Coupe.
3)1980 Plymouth Volare Sedan.
4)1983 Chevrolet Malibu Station Wagon.
5)1985 Toyota Van(a.k.a.; The Bronze Bomber).
6)1985 Chevrolet Caprice Classic Sedan(a.k.a.; The Bronze Cruiser).
7)1994 Plymouth Voyager Short Wheelbase Mini-Van.
8)1991 Toyota Corolla DX Sedan(a.k.a.; The Silver Sh*tbox).
9)1997 Toyota Corolla DX Sedan(a.k.a.; The Champagne Sh*tbox).
10)1999 Honda Accord LX Sedan.
Cars I've driven(List is incomplete):
1)Plymouth Reliant or Dodge Aries K-Car; The cars where I had my first driving lessons.
2)1970 Jeep Gladiator; It was for sale and falling apart as I drove it, so I refused to buy it.
3)1975 Cadillac Fleetwood 75; Thought about buying it and couldn't handle it, so the owner and I mutually agreed not to make a deal.
4)1988 Plymouth Sundance 5-Door Hatchback; Rental from Rent-a-Wreck.
5)1990 Mercury Grand Marquis; Loved it, but somebody talked me out of it and into buying the '94 Plymouth Voyager.
6)1993 Mercury Grand Marquis; Loved it, but couldn't afford it even when the used car dealer took $400 off the price.
7)Ford Explorer or Expedition(I forget which one it was, but it was after a Blizzard so I thought it would be a good idea to rent it).
8)Chrysler PT Cruiser convertible; Another rental car.
9)2005(I think) Chrysler Sebring Convertible; Another rental, but only for one day.
Cars I love(List is incomplete):
1)1965-1968 full-size Chevrolets
2)1966 Dodge Charger.
3)1972 Plymouth Fury.
4)1988-1991 Ford LTD Crown Victoria.
5)1988-1991 Mercury Grand Marquis.
6)1990-1997 Lincoln Town Car.

and sedans).

Potential Contributions
As with any member of IMCDB, you'll find my contributions when you click the proper link on my profile. But here you'll also find a list of contributions I
want to make, some of which I actually have a chance of carrying out.
All I Wanna Do (1998): More to come.
American Dragon: Jake Long(2005-2007, Animated Series): Some episodes have cars and trucks that can be easily recognized.
A.N.T. Farm (2011-2014?, TV-Series): Believe it or not, at least two episodes of this Disney Channel series have genuine vehicles; 1)Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor, and 2)International Harvester Scout with Right-Hand Drive.
"Arrest and Trial" (1963-1964 TV-Series): Short-lived police drama that preceeded the original concept of the Law & Order franchise. Plenty of 1950's and 1960's cars and trucks here.
Blessid Union of Souls: Oh, Virginia (1995, Music Video): Late-1960's Lincoln Continental that's hard to capture.
Bratmobile: Eating Toothpaste (2000, Music Video): Added the one vehicle in this video to the forum.
Cave-In: Anchor (2003, Music Video):
Cave-In: Inspire (2003, Music Video):
Cherry (2010, movie): Am indie film containing a mid-1960's Buick LeSabre, a fairly contemporary Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor, a brief chase between them, and some other vehicles, I forget.
Childrens Hospital (2008, TV-Series): A show on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim timeslot that doesn't belong on Cartoon Network, but it's still funny, and has some vehicles.
Cops and Robbers (1973): I had trouble adding a 1972 full-size Ford from a chase scene in this one, but I could try for some parade vehicles I know of here.
Dandelion: Waiting for a Ride (1993, Music Video): One other Firebird that's a little older.
Daria (1997-2001, Animated Series): There might be a few left to cover.
The Deadly Tower (1975, TV-Movie): Loaded with anachronisms.
The Equalizer (1985-1989 TV-Series): Will add more vehicles from more episodes.
The First Time, (1982, TV-Movie): Not sure if there are any cars in this, but I almost got it from Amazon Video-on-Demand until they took it away.
Frenemies (2012, TV-Movie): Besides a Jeep Grand Wagoneer and a last generation Lincoln Town Car stretch limo, this DCOM has some other background vehicles.
Full-Court Miracle (2003, TV-Movie): An important character lives in a converted GMC Vandura, which runs, and there are a few other vehicles in this movie too.
Get Yourself a College Girl (1964) I'm not sure if I'll even bother with this one, but there's a lot of bright yellow Flxible Visicoaches here.
Grumpier Old Men (1995): More to come... hopefully.
The Hard Times of R.J. Berger (2010, TV-Series): More to come.
Harold (2008): One uncapturable mid-1970s Chevy Chevelle or Malibu missing.
Hotel for Dogs (2009): A UPS van that splashes by a guy at a bus stop who teases the star dog is a little hard to capture.
House Arrest (1996): Others might come.
Jailbait (2000, TV-Movie): One missing.
Johnny Tsunami (1999, TV-Movie): I was only able to make a list for this one. Thankfully though, sandwad2 added some images.

Maniac Magee (2000, TV-Movie):
Midnight Runaround (1994, TV-Movie): A few other vehicles might be considered.
Midnight Run for Your Life (1994, TV-Movie): A better shot of some 1977-78 Dodge Monaco police cars would be preferable... yes in a contemporary movie from 1994.
Miracle on 34th Street (1973, TV-Movie): No pics, which is why it needs them.
Monk (2002-2009, TV Series): Spotted a few vehicles, and added them. Maybe I'll find more someday.
Morrissey: Glamorous Glue (1992, Music Video):
Mother, Jugs & Speed (1976): Two missing vehicles.
Out of Sight (1966): Features a lot of custom cars (and one motorcycle) built by George Barris, most notably
The ZZR (
A trailer).
The Polecats: Make a Circuit With Me (1983, Music Video): Saw a 3rd Generation Ford Econoline E-350 cutaway van in that one.
Pulsallama: The Devil Lives In My Husband's Body (1981, Music Video): Yes, there was actually a car in that video!
Right on Track (2003, TV-Movie): I'll consider adding more vehicles from this one.
Searching for David's Heart (2004, TV-Movie): A little too much of a tear-jerker, but it did have some vehicles.
Senior Trip (1981, Made-for-TV-Movie): Tried and failed to capture a 1980 Chevrolet Impala Station Wagon that almost ran over one of the kids in the movie.
Teen Beach Movie (2013, TV-Movie): Upcoming Disney Channel made-for-TV movie about a teenage contemporary couple who gets stranded in a 1960's teen beach party movie. I could swear I saw a Woody Wagon of some sort in the promos, and since there's a motorcycle gang you know there are going to be bikes.
The Super Cops (1974): Another buddy cop movie from the 1970's about a pair of renegade New York City cops, although these guys were considered heroes... at the time. Many more vehicles to come this year.
That Girl (1966-1971, TV-Series): spotted one that was overlooked and added it, but one is not enough.

Tracey Takes On... (1996-1999, TV-Series): More are coming.
The Troop (2009-2011, TV-Series): More vehicles are needed, many of which can be found in the episode "Do Not Talk to Dr. Cranius" (ep. #1.24).

Uncle Saddam (2000, Documentary):

What Harvest Grows the Reaper (1968, Documentary):
Wendell & Vinnie (2013, TV-Series): Some episodes of this Nick at Nite series have cars.
Where's the Bus (1966, short film): Short film starring Teri Garr. There are some other background vehicles in this, but I'm not sure I can or even should try to capture them.
The World of Henry Orient (1964): At least one other vehicle.
You're a Big Boy Now (1966): At least one other user on this site has called for the addition of a few background vehicles, I might oblige. There
are a few trucks I want to capture, though.
The Young Runaways (1978, TV-Movie): An extremely hard-to-find made-for-TV movie shown on "The Wonderful World of Disney" in the late-1970's about a girl who escapes from her SOB parents, rescues her siblings, and gets caught between the cops and some crooks. Car chases do exist in this one.
Zoey 101 (2005-2008, TV-Series): There are a few other vehicles missing from episodes like "Disc Golf" and others, so I have to consider adding them there.

I'll edit this profile again, when I want to say anything about motor vehicles I actually like... or when some of the stuff I want to send gets here, whichever comes first.
