from the article..."basically a Formula One race car in a pretty red dress - ummm, don't think it really is buddy. It sure is hell exotic though.
Awesome article!!! Someone should make a movie based on this (starring Joe Zaff as Tom Baker) Joe, well talk about it Saturday if we can squeeze it into our normal convo LOL
You are an awful casting agent. Zaff would be the salesperson who was duped. Joe Mac would be Tom Baker. Zaff would be easily distracted simply by Mac batting his eyelashes. No Rolex needed...
Nah, You guys would never make it in Hollywood. Joe Mac as a doctor who steals Ferraris? That's role reversal if I ever heard it. Joe Mac can star as owner of the dealership, after all, he's bought and sold more Ferraris than half the Fcar sales guys in the US in the past 36 months. Hell he could open a dealership with his leftovers. Joe Zaff plays the Federal Prosecutor, so overtaken with his lust for a Ferrari that he "borrows" the F50 and smacks a tree with it. Jon W. plays the slightly too dapper FBI agent who gets caught in the passenger seat when the car wrecks. He, of course, took the first turn behind the wheel and handled it flawlessly, leading to overconfidence on the prosecutors turn behind the wheel. Alex plays the angry insurance guy, he just has that mean look to him, he's a natural. Don will play the cool and collected representative of the Justice Department, who is trying to fend off the insurance company's lawsuit. I will play the mediator, who steps in to try and settle the case between the insurance co and the Federal government in an amicable manner. Of course, I will fail, and eventually have to ban both parties from the room. DM
If I get to be in the movie, I want to be Sofia Vergara's love interest. Don't worry, I'll talk to the writers to work it into the story Joe Mac can be Tom Baker's goth son, Leslie, whose obscene addiction to Veternarian grade pain killers has left a giant hole in Ted's life and forced him to seek distraction in the art of stealing exotic cars. Dave M. can be the ghost of Enzo Ferrari, who looks over this whole affair from up in heaven. It's a perfect fit...they are both grumpy old men Alex can play Dino Ferrari. Why? Well why not? Jon can be the suave Federal Prosecutor with a lust for easy women and the horses--but not necessarily at the same time (let's discuss tomorrow during our normal Saturday morning banter ) and Chris can be the George Costanza-esque FBI agent, who just transferred from accounting and, with pocket protector and penchant for complaining warns his drug addled partner that he has a bad feeling about this, while simultaneously spitting sunflower seeds from his exceedingly chapped lips onto the F50's exposed carbon bits. Jon Walton can be the Salesperson who is held up by Tom Baker at gunpoint. Tom steals the car and Jon gives brave chase in a commandeered Ford Pinto, before crashing in a fiery explosion into an old lady crossing the street with her groceries and, inexplicably, 50lbs of dynamite. Don will play the shrewd attorney who goes after the Fed's with an unleashed vengeance. A vengeance born out of years of pent up hatred over misplaced blame for the dollar coin ( A DOLLAR SHOULD BE MADE OUT OF PAPER DAMN IT!!!, Don has been heard screaming at the grocery store to unwitting 14 year old clerks) But who will pay Tom Baker with the same flair as Nicholas Cage in Gone in 60 Seconds? hmm... Well Bob Craig of course. Now we have a story folks....I feel Hollywood calling
I vote for Dave M. as the screenwriter...his version is much more well suited to me This version not good for my stellar image: Jon Walton can be the Salesperson who is held up by Tom Baker at gunpoint. Tom steals the car and Jon gives brave chase in a commandeered Ford Pinto, before crashing in a fiery explosion into an old lady crossing the street with her groceries and, inexplicably, 50lbs of dynamite. This version suits me well Jon W. plays the slightly too dapper FBI agent who gets caught in the passenger seat when the car wrecks. He, of course, took the first turn behind the wheel and handled it flawlessly, leading to overconfidence on the prosecutors turn behind the wheel.
OK, course correction. There were no guns involved in this, just clever work on the part of the guy who swiped the car, and a somewhat overactive imagination on the part of several folks here since the event. There was quite the thread on this when it happened, full of crazy stuff that was way off base. Now, as to our version, I think we can get Spielberg. Ralph Spielberg, he's my plumber. He'll play a mechanic in the thriller, called . . . Fast and Furious - Bryn Mawr Drift - The F50 Saga.
Never, ever, let facts get in the way of a good story In my version, there are lots of guns. Guns in every scene, even if it doesn't make any sense...oh and lasers too. Guns, lasers, and sharks. Lots of sharks. There is also a heated love triangle between Sofia Vergara, her love interest, and Marissa Tomei --admittedly this storyline will only be loosely connected to the plot, but I am OK with that Dave, you, as Enzo, spend the entire movie narrating from the balcony of your apartment in a ratty old robe with a dried up cigar dangling from your mouth. All of your lines center around complaining about the lighting and not having enough peanut M&Ms in your trailer. Hmmm. Art imitating life
Lasers? Seriously I think you are way to involved with your Star Trek Fantasies.. lol I see it now another all about Zaff thread. Image Unavailable, Please Login
I liked the original version better, with me soiling my shorts. In fact, when I read that, I laughed so hard I soiled my shorts. Hmmm. Life imitating art.
Joe, You should have left well enough alone, at least he cleaned up your image before he posted it. I've done some internet snooping and found the original, it's a lot less flattering. Image Unavailable, Please Login
How did you find the time? I thought you spent most of your spare time trying to locate the best deal on depends undergarments. You're the only guy I know who has ever asked Ferrari if they make seats in superabsorbency. Just kidding buddy, you're not that old. Looking out of my office window at the Philadelphia skyline I can count one, heck, maybe even two buildings that are older than you... Of course, my office does face Old City
OK, which will it be. The DOJ guy with the dark blue three piece suit with the watch chain or the Shrewd Attorney with the striped jacket and paisley tie. I need to work into the character. And damn those dollar coins. Left one for a tip and got a dirty look; I bet the waitress still thinks it's a quarter!
Well at least I don't drive a car with a name borrowed from Haynes. A Boxster? Isn't that underwear? Hmmm . . . And did I see training wheels strapped to your Mondial the other day? Sheesh, I dunno Joe. Maybe you're just looking out the window peeping at the babes in the building across the street. Isn't the Philadelphia Geriatric Center on your block? D
If this thread goes any further someone's going to mention Joe's binkey again. Ooops! Image Unavailable, Please Login
I don't know, is it? OK boys, enough distractions...back to the greatest story ever told----The Stolen Ferrari F50
