[DeTomaso] Pawn Stars

[michael@michaelshortt.com]

Dennis,

Say it ain't so, reality TV is fake?

Like WWE wrestling?


I produced a couple of them (Makeover show and a Judge show) and just turned
down a new one
( trannies going to Hollywood to get discovered,)
 I swear, it will be a hoot, just not my cup of tea)


Tell them to use an actor to be the owner and skip the car's history,
any screen time for the marque is a plus.

they have the budget for the actor, they just wanted a pretty cool car
plus the middle one, the guy who has both a father and a son
will probably want to take it to an airport to drive it, just tell them that
you'll do the stunt
driving and he can be seen pulling away and pulling back in.

leave some rubber for them to remember you by.
