Yup, there it was in the last few minutes. Snowy New York scene, looked to be yellow pre-1975 with vanity plates PHOBOS. Perhaps was to have been Carl Sagan's ride?
Just interesting. |

Any journalists in our ranks?
In interest of a story the DMV might give up the vin number matching the custom plates. |

Any journalists in our ranks? In interest of a story the DMV might give up the vin number matching the custom plates. I'm not a journalist, but... here is the story as I got it from another mailing list (a 914 EV list I'm on): http://914electric.wordpress.com/2014/03/3...mic-connection/ QUOTE A 914 EV Cameo on Fox’s Cosmos Following one particular Saturday morning run on the beach and breakfast with my pal Fordy, I returned to find this handwritten note under the wiper blade of my 914EV: ... I called the number on the business card, and connected with Seth Reed, who introduced himself as a film and television Production Designer. He explained that the “science documentary” mentioned in the note was the National Geographic/Fox remake of Carl Sagan’s Cosmos, hosted by the great science communicator, PBS Nova host, and director of the Hayden Planetarium, Neil deGrasse Tyson.
