I take this as the highest compliment, even if it wasn't meant as such. If he has influenced my writing style, and most artists are influenced by their idols, then I couldn't ask for a better influence. Thank you. I'm smiling like Dianne Wiest on Xanax. This made me think of the time I was playing Andrew Sandoval in the car and my brother said, "This sounds just like the Monkees!" Well, bro.... - --Mark p.s. My point is that the car is simply too old. Too often in movies the protagonist drives some charming old car that just isn't reality as far as being feasible as a daily driver. And, since this is supposed to be "real life" and all.... Is your Impala your daily driver? Ten years ago I sold my (second) '65 Beetle (first one was in h.s.) because it was putting me in the poorhouse as my daily driver with all its mechanical failures. I didn't have a movie producer footing the bill for repairs. **************Get fantasy football with free live scoring. Sign up for FanHouse Fantasy Football today.
