Filming for the eighth installment of the Fast & Furious franchise is well underway and we've already spotted a 1966 Corvette driven by Michelle Rodriguez in the film. The series of films are known to have some of the coolest rides in the scenes, but the cars do not always come out unscathed. We've compiled some photos from filming Fast 8 in New York and Atlanta, as well as a short clip of a chase scene. Check it out online here.​
