Default 944 in "The Matrix"
Never noticed this before - there's what looks to be a silver 951 in the background when Neo, Trinity and Morpheus are riding in the car to go see the Oracle. It's kind of out of focus, but it appears briefly between when Morpheus says "unbelievable, isn't it?" and Neo's response.

Weird. Anyone else notice this?

You can also catch a quick glimpse of a white 944 in pretty woman, when she is crossing rodeo drive. I noticed that on TBS a few nights ago, lol.

Did I notice this? Well about a month ago I even posted a screenshot of it. Its only on the screen for about 2 seconds so its pretty impressive that anyone could spot it.

Let me find my post and screenshot.

Attached is the pic.

Is is a 951 or 944? Those look like cookie cutter wheels which I've never seen on a 951 before/

You can see that it is an N/A on the way the fender is bent on the front.

You people make me sick.

It looks like an early 944 with cookie cutters, I don't believe those are fuchs.
