It’s not a magazine comparo, just an ad for a giveaway. I’m sure the car choice was financially based. All the cars were in the 30s I think (no window sticker for the Camaro though so dont know for sure). I was told that the manufacturers were very picky about the cars and options.
This is my first attempt at an Archie-style "what I did today" post:Day 2 is over. Ran one car out of gas and managed to baby the Charger for the rest of the day without breaking it any further.
The word I was looking for to describe the Camaro is planted. Everywhere. It’s a big heavy tank but lots o grip and stability. Just not as much fun as it could be.
Crappy cell pics as promised. No one wants to see pics of the cars so I took pics of just about everything else when I was stuck in the car waiting for filming to resume. :retardclap
Up @ 5am, at the airport by 6:20. Meticulous detailer crew is already there and obsessing.
Making movies
View from the Charger at 9:44 am where I sat for 25+ minutes while they set something up.
Chase truck with shockingly expensive gear on it
What I saw all day. This is the taxiway, the runway is full size.
Overhead shot of the airport from inside the “terminal.” We spent most of our time on the taxi ways, or doing laps around the far left island.
The airport is on the flat top of a mountain w/ incredible 360 degree views that were incorporated into a lot of the shots. 3 sides of the mountain were damn near vertical drops.
Semi-closed airport means we had the occasional plane drop in. The producer and I got caught out and had to take to the grass to avoid this guy.
By far the biggest plane we saw and one of two jets.
The mountains in western VA are littered with SICK driving roads and this one coming down the side of the airport’s mountain ranks among the top 3 I’ve found so far. Pictures dont do it justice. I’m a road snob and this rocked my world and my Yukon XL’s brakes for 12 miles.
That’s about all I can post since I dont own the film rights to the last two days.
