Yeah, I - um ... aaaa.. am too looking for classic convertible cars - aaaaaaaaaaa - to rent for a while. They got to be good ones - no lamers. UMMMMMMMMMM, yeah. Oh, I promis I'll give em back. Maybe - if I can get them back from the person I sold them to. Did I say that out loud??? Ummmmmmm - yeah, hand over your cars.

Sounds like a scam to me.

apparently the "movie" is being funded by a nice Nigerian prince who needs our help and it will be staring sexy young Russian girls who are just looking for a "nice husband" to care for LMFAO!

Not sure I'd let my car be driven by someone I don't know, let alone have it away from me being used who-knows-how for months at a time.

I did a quick search on the web and found that they have a web site with more info: http://www.wheel2reel.com/Default.aspx

Looks like a band of brothers run the place (Paul, Steve, & Matt Weekes).

I know what my brother and I did with cars.

I have had my cars listed with a local classic car "agent" and have had several of them in print ad and TV commercials. No one drove my car but me though. It can be fun and you can make a few bucks, but it is not a good idea to go into something like that without an experienced agent. Decent chance of your car getting damaged or abused, and then you are dealing with their insurance company and your messed up classic car. what are the chances you'll be thrilled with the results? My agent told me the worst chance of damage is in TV Shows & in movies. especially if the car is being driven or near action.

That is the only way I would do it if I was with my car 24/7 and I drove it but mine has be customized so I do not think they would want mine if they are wanting period correct

My former Corvair is in the movie "Tin Men" with Danny DeVito and Richard Dreyfuss when I lived in Baltimore in the late '80s. I was paid $150 for them to use it one day. It was parked along a street. One of the actors (its been a long time since I've seen the movie) leans against the back of my friend's convertible Corvair when they come out of court near the end of the movie. He got paid $300 because they specifically used it in a scene.
