Well, I made it back from Gatlinburg Sunday. It's amazing how much money Ben Jones makes with his franchise. It's almost too much for me to appreciate. Inside the Garage is mostly about "him". I'm sure others on this site have been there so I won't describe it. I will say though, if he signs something the mark-up is about 100%. Yes, Ben Jones was in the house for his autograph session. The line pretty much wrapped around the building but I didn't feel like waiting. If I did go in, I woulda have to have asked him about the movie...just to get his blood flowing. I would have asked why there were raised white letter tires on his car outside when he complained those exact tires were used for the movie cars. Hmmmm The Mrs wouldn't let me. (shhhh, next year) Also noticed they'd be so kind as to remove the rope so you could pay them $5 to take a picture of yourself in the GL...with your own camera! Ingenious!! Think I'll do that too. As a little side note, there were only about 6 pictures of Coy and Vance in the whole store. Were they not that popular? http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y10/Scott225/P3281312.jpg

I'll ask him in a couple days. I'm leaving Saturday morning for Gatlinburg. It'd be cool if he were at his place. We'll see. I will have the camera too so I might be submitting a few more photos.

Okay...Shania Twain as Daisy!! I know, I know...she ain't 100% American, but woooohoooo

Dale, the steering wheel is actually wood. Smoother'n a baby's bottom. Unfortunately, when the cars left, so did they. I wanted one for my old Beetle. Of all the stunts that were done, I don't believe any of them cracked. http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y10/Scott225/nohorn.jpg

By the way, I FINALLY saw her new video. Can I say "trash" in this forum? I was just wondering. I will say the marketing ploy will drag many young males into the movie just to see her. My kids love the video. Ok, ok...I loved the video. Every now and then I'd see the General Lee. I guess I'd have to watch it again just to be sure. This time with the sound on. It actually reminded me of Spring Break in Florida. 'Cept I was drunk. Hmmm

Maybe all the sheep stuff offended him. I hope he likes cows.

ewwww They sweat through their nose...

Oh brother, Brian. Good but bad. By the way, my kids wanna know what the big deal is with the sheep. Not that I want to hide the truth and the sick and demented reality, but we happen to live out in the country and I really don't want to get any phone calls in the middle of the night from angry farmers.

I thought this looked better than a purple Charger...besides, the photoshop bug bit me again http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y10/Scott225/newGL.jpg

The staff was gonna CGI the flag gone, but it's actually written into the script. If it would have happened, then several...SEVERAL scenes would have been snipped. These scenes contained footage that builds up to later in the movie. So, if'n that happened the movie would have either made no sense or several lines would have had to been re-written and re-shot. PLUS, the guys wanted to stay away from as much CGI stuff as possible. The same people did the Bourne Supremecy and Too Fast Too Furious so their resume' is looking sweet. If there were any computer generated shots here, you'd tell it in a heartbeat and movie crew wouldn't look as good. You'll see on the DVD with one jump in particular. The dreaded interstate jump. It locked up our traffic for several days but it's a main thoroughfare so it had to be done right and quick. After a few failed attempts (hitting the wall) it finally grabbed. The flag should remain...the stunts are real...and Jessica Simpson still has a big nose. So there

Capt, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised...

Wow, I just noticed this thread...bummer. I feel so lost sometimes. Here's the website to that magazine. Randy Holden, one of the guys there, could hook you up with more info. He's the guy that worked with the movie crew to procure vintage iron for the movie. http://www.moparcollectorsguide.com/ http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y10/Scott225/yellowprowler.jpg And here's someone's yellow Prowler. Yours? Oh, by the way, the young lady on the cover of the magazine is one of his relatives. HOT...but...she's like 16 or something. But...HOT!! She had Jessica Simpson beat hands down. She acts and sings also.

Preach on, brother! (ba-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a)

Do you know, Jessica's gonna catch wind of these pictures. She might find what I did to her face and bosem offensive. She may seek me out for future punitive damages. She may even send that big guy in the Land Rover after me (I'm shaking now....). But ya know what? I think this is a pretty decent payback after how she treated me and the mrs down here. So there. I love it. I might even do one more if'n the mood hits me. 8)

Brian, I apologize before-hand. You got my PhotoShop juices flowing. Speaking of flowing...where'd BananaMediaMafia run off to? http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y10/Scott225/JessicaSheepson.jpg

Clem drove his pickup alongside the road and showed his buddy Jed where he'd first had sex. "It was right down there by that there tree. I remember it plain as day. It was a warm summer day... We were madly in love... We made our way down to that the tree and made love for hours," explained Clem. "That sounds amazing," exclaimed Jed. "Yep, it was goin' real well until I looked up and saw her momma standing right there watching us..." "Damn, what did her momma say when she saw you puttin' it to her daughter?" "Baaaaa..." Okay, okay, I quit. But I had to throw that one in!

Man, I thought it was gonna be another sheep joke. C'mon...
