~90k and never crashed.

Bernie was contacted by someone in Hollywood, asking him if he’d rent his Porsche out for a movie being filmed in Oakland. The deal almost fell apart when Bernie told the property manager that the Porsche was black; they wanted a red one.
Bernie told them he’d paint the Porsche red for them.

The scene;
Jim’s sitting at a bar when he sees his ex wife drinking with her divorce attorney. Jim holds s over the bar, grabs a Louisville Slugger and chases the attorney into the parking lot.

I’ll let the pictures tell the outcome:




Bernie was kind enough to give me the bat that Jim used on the Porsche!



The body shop, that charged $21,000 in current dollars, did a horrible job on the prep/paint work. Bernie picked the GM blue color, instead of returning it back to black.
