The one with the horse on it: cold start

While I was in LA I had the opportunity to meet a friend of mine who is a stunt driver. She does movies and commercials and maybe even Broadway shows if they ever need someone to somehow drive a full-sized car onto the stage. She told me about a film she was working on and hoped the director was interested in cars or at least knew a little about them; Unfortunately, those hopes were dashed when she overheard him asking about the hero car, “the one with the horse on it.”

The one with the horse.

Oy. That doesn’t bode well. But it made me think of the fun I could have if I were the car salesman working for a director like that. For example, I think my biggest temptation would be to bring him this car with the horse on it:

Then it would be funny to watch him stutter and rage and dodge the coffee being thrown at me while I scream “What?” There’s a horse on it right there!”

I would probably be sent out again to “do it right this time.” In this case, I think I might like to come back with one of these:

Look at this bold horse! The has to be what he meant! A fine Iran Khodro Soren! Of course, then he’ll probably get all flustered, and I’ll get upset too and tell him, “You know what the fuck?” hard It was about bringing a car here from Iran?

Okay, okay, fine. It must be some other stupid car with a horse on it. Fine. Could he mean this one?

Perhaps he mistook the unicorn for a horse on this beautiful 1926 French Corre la Licorne V14W4? That’s a pretty prominent horse badge, and it wouldn’t be So It’s shocking to think that this is just a hornless horse and not a horned one, isn’t it? This is a good hero car, after all.

But that’s not all, and the director is really apoplectic at this point because I spent some time on it tonne He invests a lot of money in purchasing these cars, and they are not the “horse-riding” ones he wants. Fine. Okay, again. The has to be it:

An Asquith! That is definitely what this director meant. Asquith Motors, a company that produces vintage-looking delivery vehicles on modern Iveco truck chassis, has a very distinctive horse on its badge. This must definitely be what the director had in mind!

And he is angry. Angry! He keeps throwing things at me and screaming like a big, stupid baby. Fuck it all. I give up! I don’t need this nonsense! I’m going to get in my Mustang, drive home, polish my Bronco, and then check out my friend’s new Ferrari.

The one with the horse on it. motherfucker, Please.
