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. ![http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h136/jclarksince86/e53392f2.jpg](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/c/7/c724a0ec99aa05ee594aab83c8bf89ac6dca129e.jpeg) Making movies ![http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h136/jclarksince86/cf628327.jpg](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/c/7/c7cdb284a3b11907105ea56ee889cd355660b644.jpeg) View from the Charger at 9:44 am where I sat for 25+ minutes while they set something up. ![http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h136/jclarksince86/f19274a2.jpg](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/2/6/2624d3c3f0eaaad966ad25a747abb378cd635721.jpeg) Chase truck with shockingly expensive gear on it ![http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h136/jclarksince86/09e41136.jpg](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/a/d/ade288b3afc33630062838feb6f248f383bcd9c8.jpeg) What I saw all day. This is the taxiway, the runway is full size. ![http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h136/jclarksince86/2942476e.jpg](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/d/d/ddf12c16e9bf9a697a7725daf1e124fa78c3f865.jpeg) 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. ![http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h136/jclarksince86/a0be3d54.jpg](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/b/2/b24b7bfff8d9b1975b0ddb266823f5245819f28b.jpeg) 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. ![http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h136/jclarksince86/a2e23d0b.jpg](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/4/4/44e85520064da7a98c5448cfc2f8d78c280849b7.jpeg) ![http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h136/jclarksince86/23f66ae8.jpg](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/f/e/fe655b9a45264215c1cf8f3138224236ccef3fee.jpeg) 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. ![http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h136/jclarksince86/2e39bf6b.jpg](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/0/a/0a57041ffd50c4bb2eba16b5746ae10b7fdc99a5.jpeg) By far the biggest plane we saw and one of two jets. ![http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h136/jclarksince86/7fbdb7ba.jpg](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/8/1/81da16f02d638e80d606ed863ef7fc6823e7085f.jpeg) 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. ![http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h136/jclarksince86/c18b4bed.jpg](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/9/0/9037cfdcdb99453d5695dacad69f3b486bd24c9f.jpeg) ![http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h136/jclarksince86/383d8e07.jpg](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/4/d/4d81505ad72ef8712c7d13f65beae9cd5f03a5f5.jpeg) That’s about all I can post since I dont own the film rights to the last two days. 😃 --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/domestic-car-abuse-day-s-in-west-nowhere-va/252733)._
