I should probably Google Hot Tuna, but when I was a kid if was spray painted all over my town. I always knew it was a band, but that was it.

The question is. Who's driving the bug and who's driving the Porsche?
Julia was the larger big screen audience draw. While Matthew was the large small screen audience draw. Both are/were very talented actors.
R.I.P Matthew.

I'm leaning towards Perry driving the Porsche. I recall a story about him being involved in a Porsche related accident in 2000 and found the story on it:
https://ew.com/article/2000/05/22/matthew-perry-crashes-his-car/
"Friends" star Matthew Perry drove his green Porsche into the front steps of a home in the Hollywood Hills. Perry (a.k.a. Chandler Bing) swerved to avoid another car on a narrow, windy road and slammed into the front steps of a nearby house. The 32-year-old left the accident unscathed, and there were no injuries. Cops say no there was no evidence of wrongdoing (i.e.: no DUI). Only Perry's ride seems to have suffered in the mishap, requiring the help of a tow truck to remove it from the scene. But what's a Porsche or two to a guy who just scored a lucrative contract deal for $750,000 per episode?

True story.
Speaking of actors in car accidents.
2011 I was working in L.A. (Santa Monica). I shared a office trailer with an L.A. county building inspector named Paul.
Paul one day came into the office and stated that he was rear ended the day before by a black Mustang convertible.
Both drivers pulled over and looked at the respective cars and declared that no damage was done and went about their way in heavy PCH traffic.
Paul thought about the accident for a mile or so and flagged down the driver who rear ended him just incase there was some hidden damage to his CNG fueled Honda car.
When they exchanged driver info. Paul realized he had been rear ended by none other than, Melissa Gilbert.
