Waggy in Action

I'm not sure if this has been posted before, but I just found this clip on YouTube. It is from the movie Deadly Pursuit.

That Waggie takes a lick'n, but keeps on tick'n!
I will show this Youtube clip to all my FSJ Nay-sayers, that claim Wagoneers are big and slow.
This clip maybe "Hollywood", but I know for a fact that a strong 360 in a Wagoneer is no slouch on the street.

A strong 360, and a hefty swaybar. Check out some of that cornering.

Awesome find! That is one heck of a driver, I guess using the e-brake is one way to slide around corners!

I doubt that Wagoneer was modified. If they needed better handling, they would have picked another vehicle to begin with. I doubt the director demanded that it HAD to be a FSJ


It does corner surprisingly well, though

I'll bet you $10 that the fuel gauge dropped to half tank during that 2:00 segment!

Great video.

I've had to do some quick moves and some good saves over the years to avoid crashing into idiots. I'm allways amazed how it handles in a pinch.
