Passed by a truck stop and this caught my eye. A transport with 4 R8s. While I was taking pics the truck driver came up and said he was taking them from New York,
where they filmed the movie Date Night, to LA. The front one looked very intact. The second one had a broken rear window, and the rear two had some body damage
with additional frame work along with some cosmetics to make them look alike. Notice the broken driver's side mirror on both cars. Kind of sad to see them so beat up

Yeah, you shoulda gotten the VIN numbers!
Dealers who contract with entertainment companies (for vehicles to be in their movies, etc) unwittingly end up with damage to vehicles provided to the companies.
