For fun: I'm a big fan of Car Talk. I've listened to it for years. This is an example of the weird way my brain works sometimes: I've been imagining what if Sam Witwicky called the car guys about his new car's quirks. Help me create a dialogue! (I have some ideas, but would like to hear from others.) Tom/Ray: ...227-8255, hello, you're on Car Talk! Sam: Hi, uh, my name is Sam, and I'm calling from L.A. Tom: Sam! Ray: Hi Sam, what's up? Sam: Well, I just got my first car. It's a 1976 Camaro and, uh, I think it's possessed... So where does it go from here? Help me out. Oh, and at some point one of them should say "Doesn't anybody screen these calls??!!" (Mods--I put this topic here because it was inspired by the movie; please move it if you think it fits better somewhere else.)
why not call in and see how it goes for real? he's a 77 camaro, by the way. the ebay auction for him confirms it.
But instead of telling them it possessed describe some of the things BB dose. The engine starts and stops, the radio turns on and off and changes stations and so on.
Someone else do it. I'm not that good a liar. Heh, it certainly wouldn't be the first time they've had someone call in with a WEIRD case. I've heard them recommend exorcists before, and I'm sure there was an "alien abduction" once.
That actually would have been a great "viral marketing" bit for the movie... having panicked drivers calling in to car shows, convinced that their car is alive. They could describe the lesser symptoms first (radio weirdness, etc.) and then end with ".... and I think the other night I saw it change into a robot!!!" Maybe for the sequel.
I had a 1989 Chrysler New Yorker that I suffered with for over a year. It broke so often and so maliciously that I called it Satan's Chariot , so the Satan's Camaro quip got a good laugh out of me
