My Miata was used for an episode of Wicked Attraction on Investigation Discovery Channel. Unfortunately I didn't know when it was going to air so I missed it and had to download the episode off Amazon to watch it. I got paid $150 and my car got to be on TV.

Just thought it was pretty neat.

Hahah good stuff. I like how the "bad guy" was driving a yellow Miata. Not ripping on your car, just sort of silly.

The producer/director said it would work, they were looking for a yellow 'sports car' and I guess nobody could produce anything better. This was before I bought my Speed Yellow Boxster S though.. but of course I love my Miata more, so I would want that to be on TV :)

And no, unfortunately I didn't get to kill anyone. I just got to stand off to the side and watch while they filmed. It was fun, I learned a lot about TV, and how they work magic with crap -- like a Miata..;) just kidding!

Not being familiar with the show, I'm guessing the re-enact scenes from a killers past? Is that guy supposed to be a killer?

Congrats on your cars TV debut.

Since you got to watch. Did they have a small crew? It looks like they just had a Field Producer/Director and maybe a couple of PAs and maybe an audio guy.

Yes, it's a murder case show about 'couples who kill'. Similar to the First 48, Cold Case file shows. The lady was actually the murderer, her husband orchestrated it. She stabbed her mom over 70 times to get inheritance money. Pretty messed up stuff.. but it didn't stop me from letting it get up on TV ;)

Great. Now I have to keep looking over my shoulder when I drive and hope nobody watches that show...

Very cool...how did you get the skank smell out of your seats?

Your car looks good. Now update your car on IMDb.

+1 on that. I'd be a little creeped out to lend my car.

She's not a doctor skank, she just plays one on TV.
