Many, many years ago I was in NY working on a shoot and was told there was work for me and my friend in LA for us.
So we checked the back of, I think the NY Times, found the ads for delivering a car. Phoned a few companies, found one that needed to be delivered to Sacramento and me and her got paid to deliver it, plus petrol money. Got the idea from the original Cannonball Rally Film. I think.
Was a top of the line Ford and the owner was a Captain in the USAF.
Had a great time, saw many place I had only read about of seen in movies. Saw the Grand Canyon which was breath taking and stayed in Vegas. When all the pit bosses middle name was "the" like "Jimmy the Gun. LOL
Took a Greyhound bus back to LA after we delivered the car.
One of those trips I will remember for ever.
