My RX will be in a movie!

Im into the indie movie scene here in Seattle, and while drifting in a ice skating rink parking lot some dude approached me. I thought he musta worksed there and I was like, "Oh crap." Apparently hes shooting a "spy movie" and needs a good car for the spy to have and someone to drive it in a chase scene. "insert ol ghetto angel church sound of aahhhhhh" So i am gettin a small sum of money and Rosie the RX is going to be in amovie while i drive her wildly through the streets of Seattle. When production starts in a month ill put some pics/vidoes up.

Well then I should try to get my '85 SE in the next bond movie as my license is James007. I saw some rumors that Britney wanted to be the next Bond girl. Not sure if Pierce Brosnan did his last bond movie or not but he is winding up. The real question is who will be the new Bond.

Good coup with your car.

Secret Agent Man by Johnny Rivers should be your theme song.

The car is Dodge Viper Yellow, and i love it. Its a deeper color than most yellows and has a very aggressive tint to it. Its comparible to Canary Yellow on a cloudy day. The Mirrors were on the car when i got it, though i love them. The rear blinkers if you can see them are off of a 1955 Harley. I had to but a little bit of americana on it. Im not sure whos who in the chase but the cars that will be involved are as follows,
1982 Rx-7 (mine)
1960 Chevy Stepside pickup (blown 350 with impala parts)

It will be an awesome looking chase, 50-50 lightwight VS uneven clunky raw horsepower. Given its in seattle where straighaways are rare i should have the advantage. Since my car is the good guys theres no way it can lose.
