    no cate. :(
    if i was any closer to st. louis it'd be fantabulous to meet up w/ you, catefrances. it would be fantabulous no matter the distance. problem is i just can't make it. currently my life has been turned upside down and inside out. anywho...

    enjoy yourself, miss.

    one thing i do know. st. louis kicks a lot of fine ass. it used to be free and still may be. it used to be one only had to pay for parking. i suggest a long day's visit to the zoo. st. louis zoo has a very fine reptile house.

    i dont do zoos. i have a problem with wild animals in captivity.


    as for reptiles, theres a snake snoozing not 5 feet away from me right now.

    They had one real one, but they obviously didn't wreck it, or use it in any shots in which it might get damaged. They had reproductions yes, but they had a real one. The real one sold for something like 11 million dollars a few years ago.

    if you say so satan.. all im saying is what i heard. and what you heard isnt what i heard. the drivers were bitching cause they handled like a wet blanket. and when zappa took it for a drive they couldnt restart it at first cause it was such a piece of shit. and when it fell out of the garage it didnt crumple like it shoulda cause fibreglass tears.. so ingeniusly they laid foliage over the body to hide the 'non damage'.

    "In the film, Ferris convinces Cameron to borrow his father's rare 1962 Ferrari GT California. "The insert shots of the Ferrari were of the real 250 GT California," Hughes explains in the DVD commentary, "The cars we used in the wide shots were obviously reproductions. There were only 100 of these cars, so it was way too expensive to destroy. We had a number of replicas made. They were pretty good, but for the tight shots I needed a real one, so we brought one in to the stage and shot the inserts with it."

    In the film, Ferris convinces Cameron to borrow his father's rare 1962 Ferrari GT California. "The insert shots of the Ferrari were of the real 250 GT California," Hughes explains in the DVD commentary, "The cars we used in the wide shots were obviously reproductions. There were only 100 of these cars, so it was way too expensive to destroy. We had a number of replicas made. They were pretty good, but for the tight shots I needed a real one, so we brought one in to the stage and shot the inserts with it."[7]

    Automobile restorationist Mark Goyette designed the kits for three reproductions used in the film and chronicled the whereabouts of the cars today: [20]

    1."Built by Goyette and leased to Paramount for the filming. It's the one that jumps over the camera, and is used in almost every shot. At the end of filming, Paramount returned it to Goyette, with the exhaust crushed and cracks in the body. "There was quite a bit of superficial damage, but it held up amazingly well," he said. He rebuilt it, and sold it to a young couple in California. The husband later ran it off the road, and Goyette rebuilt the front end for him. That owner sold it in the mid-90s, and it turned up again around 2000, but hasn't emerged since."[20]
    2."Sold to Paramount as a kit for them to assemble as their stunt car, they did such a poor job that it was basically unusable, aside from going backwards out the window of Cameron's house. Rebuilt, it ended up at Planet Hollywood in Minneapolis and was moved to Planet Hollywood in Cancun when this one was closed."[20]
    3."Another kit, supposed to be built as a shell for the out the window scene, it was never completed at all, and disappeared after the film was completed. Goyette thinks he once heard it was eventually completed and sold off, but it could also still be in a back lot at Paramount."[20]
    The "replicar" was "universally hated by the crew," said Ruck. "It didn't work right." The scene in which Ferris turns off the car to leave it with the garage attendant had to be shot a dozen times because it would not start.[5] At the time of filming, the original 250 GT California model was worth $350,000.[5] Since the release of the film, it has become one of the most expensive cars ever sold, going at auction in 2008 for $10,976,000.[21] The vanity plate of Cameron's dad's Ferrari spells NRVOUS and the other plates seen in the film are homages to Hughes's earlier works, VCTN (National Lampoon's Vacation), TBC (The Breakfast Club), MMOM (Mr. Mom), as well as 4FBDO (Ferris Bueller's Day Off). One of the "replicars" was sold by Bonhams on April 19, 2010 at the Royal Air Force Museum at Hendon, United Kingdom for £79,600.[22][23]
