Steve, this is way cool! Go for it!! Take a bunch of pics and post them. Get some with you and as many wrestlers as you can with the 'Vette. I wouldn't think twice about it. It would also make a kind of cool " documentation " for your 'Vette. Although it would add zilch to the value, it would add to the history

[QUOTE=steveblonde]They want the car at 3.00pm the Batista guy (wrestler) doesnt show up till later and then they just show him taking his bags out of the back[QUOTE]
better school him on how to properly close the coupe trunk..if you're on standby and he slams it, just run up and give him an unscripted punch in the face..

I got some free tickets to one of those things one time took the wife and kids what a riot. I was yelling for the wrong guy to win the wife was punching me telling me to shut up kids were screaming at the top of their lungs for blood. Mindless absurd entertainment. The crowd is half the show. Oh and by the way as fake as it looks it's all real(really)

Do it!
That'd be really cool. I don't watch wrestling either (in fact, I despise it,) but it'd be cool to see your car on TV.
They have deep pockets...even if anything DID happen to your car, they'd pay for it.
Still, the whole concept of asking individuals for their cars seems odd to me.

Do it Man!!! I'm a big WWE fan. I want to see your car on Raw tomorrow. I've seen all kinds of cars on Raw and Smackdown. It's really cool. The last car Batista drove in was a SL500. You can't let Merc do that to us. The last Vette on Raw was a red '69 Vert that belonged to Stephanie McMahon. HHH choped it in half with a chainsaw. That was a long time ago.

After the first Dallas Cowboys Superbowl win there was a parade with the players sitting in Vettes from local clubs. "Fans" made a disaster of everything, including the cars. I think they were promised nothing would happento their cars 
. Personally, I wouldn't even think about loaning my car to any non-gearhead & I think more than twice about even letting another enthusiast sit in it! Like my dad used to say, "never gamble what you can't afford to lose."

sports car to use in the show. Ideally we are looking for a Corvette, Porsche,
Ferrari, Mercedes, Dodge Viper or something along the lines of these cars. All
the car will be used for is for one of wrestlers to drive up to the arena in. If
you are interested in helping us out please call me at my office (203) ...-....
or email me at this email address.
So.. i email him back with a picture and get this message
Steve,
Thanks form writing me back. The car is beautiful. Just what we are looking for.
If you are familiar with our show, the car will be driven by the WWE Champion
Batista. Basically, the shot that we will be using it for would be a very simple
arrival shot. Batista would drive the car up to the arena, take his bags out of
the trunk and then enter the arena. Very simple. No damage will be done to the
car at all. If it still sounds like something you might be interested in, please
give me a call on my cellphone at 203-...-.... and we can discuss the specifics.
Question to you guys should i do it and if so what pro and cons can you think of, also what should i be afraid of and what should i get in writing. i doubt i could ask for anything?
thanks

PLEASE! 
There is no way they are gonna let one of their boys hurt your car.
They will make you sign about 50 pages of contracts and documentation saying so then they will barely use the car in the show.
Enjoy the moment in the spotlight! You have a cool car and this will be a story you can tell everyone for as long as you have the car. Get it on tape and show it to peeps when you want to sell it.
Have fun and enjoy this! It probably wont ever happen again, so take advantage of this opportunity.
Sounds like fun!~~~JadeDragon (Jaded by Hollywood)
