    I love how the wiper is torn, but still hanging on. And how it looks like a few years since it last got a wax...lol

    My primary inspiration was that Buy My Volvo short. I was aiming to clone that but it came out totally differently but it's still ok I think.

    No emails yet though

    Hell the Mavic drone we used for the closing shots was worth more than the car....

    The production costs would be worth about 4 or 5 times what the car is worth if I had paid to have someone make this or someone paid me to, but I just had to

    That would have been ideal...but it would have cost ten times what the car is worth

    You made this?? Mother of God. I loved it!! I just saw thison facebook (prob a Grand Prix page).

    Gawd, I feel dumb. I love(d) making car vids of my crew awhile back. Never had quality filming equipment, but had a good time none theless editing and adding music. I need me one of these drones, but with kids,car projects, mortgage, I could never pull that off.

    You tube search “GM Eternal Ojai” and “GM Eternal In the AirTonight” and you’ll see some of my handy work. Sooo jealous.

    Great job. Love it! Can I pay you [in friendship] to followme out to El Mirage and film me and my black Grand Prix? LOL.

    Yea - tryin to sell this car, with very little luck. Im slowly lowering the price!



    You saw it on FB?? Thats cool - who posted it? I would love if you would share it on your feed so that more people see it.

    All I used to film it was a GoPro Hero 4 silver, a Phantom 3 Standard and a Mavic Pro

    As far as the drone, I got the Phantom 3 on CL for $280. You can get a new refurb one straight from DJI with a warranty for $350! They are so cheap now there is NO reason not to get one - especially for what they do as evidenced by the shots I got of the car not moving. The Mavic is another story - that bad boy is $1200 and worth every penny.

    I get out to the dez every now and then - maybe we can work something out!

    Sure. Maybe gullwing doors? I much prefer the stain resistant idea though. Just rinse the car off and you're good to go.
