I was asked if I could let Universal Technical Institute collision school borrow my Z for their 60 second commercial and those late night infomercials. I wish I was asked in late February because I'd have the new wheels on by then but oh well. I swung by their set to take a couple pictures.



And this is part of what's to be expected on tv, also the commercials are for HDTV.

 

nice...but............collision school??? I'd be a little worried forking over my keys.

 

the car is back safely in my garage now Don't worry, it doesn't need any collision services at this time

 

Reminds me of the time I let a local production company use my Shelby Cobra replica for a commercial. They didn't drive it, rather they pushed it in the studio. When I picked it up the next day, the sound man had me do a couple of burnouts in the parking lot so he could get some decent audio of the exhaust. I didn't get paid much but it was enough to pay for my crash helmet.

 

sweet! i wish someone would ask me!

 

cool i just enrolled i uti, i start aug 7th.

 

Nice, they left the license plate on though?

 

I can see it now...
"At UTI collision school we have some of the most experienced technicians in the United States. We took this spotless 350Z, smashed it, then fixed it and returned it a few days later, without the owner even noticing!"
