In this episode, Donut delves into the mysterious world of cursed cars and vanished automotive legends. First up, the infamous Porsche 550 Spider that belonged to Hollywood legend James Dean. This cursed car caused a series of accidents and tragedies after Dean's fatal crash, leading many to believe it's cursed. From engine swaps to fatal crashes, the Spider's dark history culminated in its inexplicable disappearance in 1960, shrouded in mystery and intrigue.
Next on the list are two unique Mazda Miatas, the Raspberry Metallic and Light Green Metallic prototypes, which have disappeared without a trace. These one-of-a-kind cars were part of a collection presented by Mazda in 1990 to gauge public interest in new color schemes. Despite efforts to track them down, these elusive Miatas have remained hidden, leaving enthusiasts and preservationists like myself yearning for their rediscovery.
Lastly, we have the tale of Justin Pollock's stolen FC Mazda RX7 during the filming of the cult classic "200 Mile Hour." As a pioneer of drifting, Pollock's RX7 was a hero vehicle in the movie until it was stolen, never to be found again. Despite some parts resurfacing, the fate of this iconic car remains a mystery, leaving fans and investigators alike on the edge of their seats. The search for these lost automotive treasures continues, with each car carrying its own unique story of tragedy, mystery, and the enduring allure of the open road.
