When I was a kid, we lived a couple of blocks from a huge garage where the studios kept every kind of old car that was ever made, which they used in the movies. We would sneak in through a back door that was left unlocked for some reason - or maybe they didn't realize it was unlocked.

There were no guards back then so we had the run of the place. Probably a couple hundred old cars dating back to the first cars made, Model Ts, Stutz Bear Cats, taxis, police cars, Caddies, Cords, Packards, even limos, most of them pre-1940.

We would make up stories and assign roles - someone would be a chauffeur, a rich bitch (me, me, choose me), a cop, taxi driver. We'd spend the entire day going in and out of the cars. We'd ride on the running boards as cops chasing criminals in the car ahead of us.

Everyone one of the kids I grew up with has made their living in the arts in one way or the other.
