    i wish, i really miss that car! the car is in the beginning of the movie, the restaurant scene passing by and parking in the background. you only get to see the front hood, windshield and i think the grill. i can't stomach to watch the movie cause it sucks!

    When I was about 11 or 12 they filmed a comercial in my hometown for Kelly's Hamburgers, a chain that didn't make it. They brought in the local baseball hero Tony Conigliaro for the shoot. All the director said was "when I say go, everybody run up to Tony". I was the first one there and I jumped up and stole his baseball hat! They really used that commercial on TV that year in the Boston area. It was about 1966 I think.

    Dude! That's so cool! Even if it was sept 11 and they were closing the airport. lol



    Sorry, I was almost on T.V....about 2 or 3 years ago I was in Irvine, CA and there was a talent scout for the Nickelodeon/Disney Channel that saw em and thought I looked perfect to be an extra in their shows and movies! Being a stupid 14 or 15YO, I declined. Thinking back on it, that would be great to have on a resume and would've made me some damn good bank! Stupid being 14 or 15. :mad:

    NBC nightly news did a 5 min segment on my squad in 2005 when I was in Afghanistan. I did not even know it had aired until I got home and my mom had a copy of the nightly news for all to see. At least it had some cool shots of me in the Korengal Valley!

    I was on the news back in the late 80s. We were playing music for a local homeless shelter and the local news channel came in to film some clips. About a month later the clip was picked up by CNN. A friend of mine saw the clip saw the clip on CNN and told me about it the next day at work. He was watching the CNN and told his wife, "Hey! I know that guy!!!"
