For whomever is keeping track of these things;

We've been watching Breaking Bad on NetFlix.
Season 2 disk 3 episode 10--The last scene includes a series of shots of a 23' gmc. The drivers partner had been gathering chemicals to cook meth in a home improvement center.

The main characters have been cooking meth in an SOB (Winnebago?)

I suppose the GMC is to be a mobile meth lab also.

Its actually a pretty good show. Not just about the drugs.

I noticed that.

It's a fabulous show!

Of course, the uber-evil drug guy (Tuco) in the early season (#2) is Raymond Cruz owns the Duramax GMC that Jim Bounds has been working on for some time.

Raymond has been one of the detectives on The Closer since the first season.

Jim,

You're watching way too much tv to know all these things. Must be those long Ct. winters.

I thought Tuco looked familiar but I didn't realize it was Ray. It's good he's getting regular work. He'll need it to pay for his coach. I'd like to see it when it's completed.

Maybe Ray and Jim will take it to a rally.

Too true ;( -- Fox news and a couple Cable TV series are my friends.

All kidding aside, I stumbled across Breaking Bad late (I guess) in the first seaon and the pure - frightening EVIL of his character riveted me.(I don't think he appeared in many episodes.)

Pretty much, all the characters and situations (except for that damned "dream-sequence" - I HATE dream-devices) are some of the most engaging I've ever seen. REALLY GOOD WRITING!

PS: I didn't say the show features NICE or GOOD characters -(most are pretty amoral) just very engaging.

 The other night on NCIS Los Angeles there was a very brief appearance of a white & beige GMC. An old Winnabago pulled out beside it & blocked an escapee on a motorcycle.

Nice looking coach. It would look very sharp with a nice set of Eagles or at least a set of shinny, plastic "wheel simulator" hub caps. ...But the director might not want something in the back ground distracting from the action!

It was in another episode next to the beach behind an Airstream trailer being searched by the actors. (I though I have captured and posted that...)
