I think that it is a failure of the Waco police department. Even in Texas, waving a gun out the window of a car will get someone to call 911 and get you pulled over. Much less standing in the sun roof and repeatedly firing it while driving. That will draw cops like
draws flies.
But you have to remember this movie was shot when Texas still allowed open containers and had drive up windows in both bars and liquor stores and only a few people carried firearms. My how things have changed
Uh.. "only a few people carried firearms"? That remark means you didn't live here at that time. I did and still do. Almost every pickup in my high school parking lot had a gun rack in the back. And they all had some sort of firearm in them. Most of my friends parents carried a pistol. But they had common sense not to shoot it out of a moving car like this.
And it still would have attracted cops like
attracts flies.
I was being facetious when I wrote that. I never did understand the drive through bar and open container allowance. Although I did use this service more than once

I never understood why it's a big deal.
Impaired driving is A Bad Thing, of course. No question.
But it's illegal to sip a beer for a hundred miles, and perfectly OK to pull over, down one, dispose of the empty, and continue on your way.

The jump would have been fine if only he had a rear trunk spoiler.
He probably also relocated his battery to the front trunk to keep it from falling
into the hell hole.

I think the bus jump happens at somewhere on Jackson street, but I can't be sure.
By the looks of the brick building in the background, I'd guess the jump took place near 7th St. & Mary Ave.

I'm old enough to remember a lot of TV from back in the day but I recently encountered an early 914 in an old British Sci Fi series called UFO. Not only was I surprised to see the little jewel in this show but it appeared throughout the entire episode. Best of all the girl who owned/drove it was very attractive so I have no doubt that most of us here will find this interesting. Episode was called "The Psychobombs" & I can say w/out spoiling anything that nothing bad happened to this very early British teener; @ least not on film anyway...

There is a thread here about 914s in movies and there are several screenshots from that movies in that thread.

Lazy me didn't bother to look Andy, guess I should have known.
A 1.8 also appeared on a semi regular basis on The Rockford Files... Rockfords' lawyer "Beth" drove one & Rockford actually borrowed it in an episode. One would presume that was a California model & probably had a smog pump installed

No guys, I'm still here & Knikki & Mnatasha are still in the garage
. Posted here a few times but have not started a thread in a while. Still use 914world as my homepage every time I log on.
Was surfing you tube & found the entire UFO series posted & knew I had not seen every episode so I started watching & noticed 2 different 911s' in that series & then came across the 914 driven by that schweet British girl (actress Deborah Grant) in the psychobomb episode & had to bring it to everyones' attention. That episode was dated MCMLXX so I figured that had to be one of the earliest 914s' on record, & an English model @ that.

You guy's probably already know this but I found this link and remembered this being asked before. The stars denote it's use. Read the legend. Evidently, it was a regular on the "Rockford Files" starring the same guy that was in Grand Prix! Enjoy!

Steve Mcqueen's LeMans on the tube....at least two times in the last laps of the event....a 914, mostly white, maybe number 40 on the hood.....

The
real GT class-winning /6 is shown in the actual race footage that is integrated into the film "LeMans". The scenes that are staged for the movie use a /6 that is made to look like the #40 car that not only won the GT class, but beat all the 911s that were entered as well
The accompanying photo shows the actual winning car during the race.

FOX t.v. show GOTHAM last night. I think it was the 3rd episode. About 5 minutes in there's a red 914 with what looks like Centerlines on it, on the top floor of a parking deck of the opening scene. Couple different shots of it. Hard to miss as it is one of 2 cars parked there

Yep
Seeing the still shot they definitely aren't Centerlines, but I'm not sure I've seen that wheel before.
Look vaguely similar to the " Turbines " on my Jeep
