Would Tom even fit in a 928?  I'm just average height, and it's tight.  

Oh yes, the Smokey and the Bandit car! :-)

I read that the original script called for Magnum to drive a Porsche 911, but Porsche didn't want to provide the cars or do a deal, so they went to Ferrari.  I think Tom was the unofficial representative for bringing the 308 to the masses.  Or maybe Ferrari helped bring Tom to the masses.  :-)  Has there ever been a car more associated with an actor?  The Bond DB4/5, um, maybe?

Viva Tom Sellek, uh, I mean Magnum.
