There's some real hate on those comments for having crashed a mint car, but really, if they crashed a rust bucket, people would blame the result on the rust...
The first car they crashed in that facility was a mint green car of late 60's or early 70's, I was very very young then so I no longer remember exactly the make/model year.
The lights blew the grid with the first attempt to turn them on. I seem to remember putting on a coat if walking in front of them when they were lit to keep from getting too uncomfortable from the heat.
The light levels for that kind of photography is huge. You could greatly reduce the energy with modern LED's that are tuned to the same frequency as the cameras. You'd have to sync it just right though.
