I saw "The Box"...very cool flick!

I thought it was OK, bit abstract for me, probably would not have seen it, had I (my car) not been and extra. There was a scene outside of a grocery store with an ambulance where I drove by...
It was a fun experience.

The neat trick was how they made the car roll. They took a 2' piece of pipe and welded on a cap so one end was closed off. They cut a hole in the passenger side floorboard and welded the pipe to the roll cage with the open end level with the floor. A small piece of C4 was placed in the pipe and a 2' piece of telephone pole was wedged in making a small cannon shooting down. The stunt driver had a switch taped to the steering wheel connected to the charge. As he was going down the track he spun the wheel right putting the car in a slide and hit the switch. The telephone pole shot down flipping the car. There were 4 1 pound propane canisters under the car evenly spaced from front to rear with 1/4 second delay charges that fired as the car flipped making the fireball. The car rolled 8 times and came to rest on the wheels. The telephone pole was stuck in the track with the end sticking out of the ground splintered.
The TMS upper management were all out there to watch the crash. Instead they all were looking at this piece of telephone pole sticking out of the track. The NASCAR race was 2 weeks later and they had to scramble to dig up and patch the track.
This is the clip of the crash. Start at 3:55.

This is us getting him out at 1:00 minute in. I am the paramedic in the white shirt wearing sunglasses pushing the stretcher.

I see the hole it came out of at ~4:30 on one of the last rolls. Also saw the splinters when it went into the track.

I use to act in **** films...

XD. That's hilarious.

My uncle that lives in Morristown New Jersey was in a movie and was the main star. That was the one and only movie he ever acted in.

I wish I could remember the name of the movie. When I talk to him next time on the phone I'll have to ask him.

The closest I've ever gotten to being on Television was when I was I think 10 or 11 and the news crew filmed me and asked me what my opinion was on the city taking down a Christmas Tree because a guy in town was outraged about the tall Christmas Tree being put up and my dad and I helped the city put it up with my dads winch truck.

Just because he was the town Grinch they took the tree down.
