Took my GT out for a quick spin today. There's still snow on the sides of the road but There is a good chance that the GT will be used in a new movie Wednesday and I wanted to do a shakedown before then.

Well Gary, looks like your Opels have a better career than you do

LOL. I took a temp job about a month ago. Supposed to last until June, but it could turn into a 1 or 2 day a week thing. Working sucks!

Gary. You should be earning about 40% as your Opels agent. Hope you read the contract before you signed!!

Yeah, I get a small fee for the car and minimum wage as an extra. Usually a long 12 hour day with a lot of downtime. Mainly doing it for exposure for the Opels. It is pretty cool to see what goes into making movies This will be the fifth one.

I was on set 5 times for "Labor Day" and the Senator was way in the background in one 5 second scene. I made it into the deleted scenes in the DVD. 3 Opels on set for "American Hustle" and only the Olympia made it in the movie's final cut. Twice with the wagon and GT for "Black Mass" (to be released this November). 3 times with the Senator for "Bleed for This" (Sept. release). Had three calls for the GT so far for the latest one but there was too much salt on the road. I told them I was available for this Wednesday.
