Charlie Olson Posted September 25, 2011 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 Earlier today, I received an email stating that the producers of "My Ride Rules", Speed Channel, is inviting applications to enter Scottsdale/PHX Area cars, for their very popular TV reality show. Being as I am a shy introverted type, I asked my Life Coach if I could handle the rejection if they didn't choose PLYWOOD and Me to compete in their show. My Coach said, what else could you possibly lose, You Little Cry Baby? That really hurt my feelings; so I said, 'Give me Reality TV or give me more beer'. I decided to throw down the "Speckled Glove". Thus, here is my application to enter the expanded version of "My Ride Rules". In reverse order of submitting my application: PS: I won last year's Wavecrest 2010 Hard Luck Award because an uninsured motorist ran a stop sign and smashed in the front left of PLYWOOD. PLYWOOD was un-drivable after the wreck; however, I rented a car and attended the Wavecrest event without my cherished Woodie, PLYWOOD. I am confident that every one at Wavecrest was supportive of my can do attitude and positive appreciation for a great time, spent with friends, even in the face of such calamity. I was a gracious loser, then, and would be a gracious loser in the highly improbable event that I didn't win on My Ride Rules.

MY RIDE RULES TV SHOW To: CastingComeDrive@gmail.com Date: Saturday, September 24, 2011, 8:44 PM Greetings, received an email that mentioned you all are possibly filming your great show in AZ; so I wanted to present my cool, unique Phantom Woodie, PLYWOOD, and myself as possible contestants on your fun show. My PLYWOOD is a Phantom Woodie; meaning it was not originally a factory Woodie. I bought this unique one of a kind Phantom Woodie from a Tinkerman, in Oregon. He actually cut down the trees on his own farm, did the mill work on an old time saw mill that was belt driven by a Model T engine. PLYWOOD has been driven to Encinitas, CA, for the Annual September WaveCrest Woodie Meet and the Annual Arizona Route 66 Fun Run. This car gets a lot of thumbs up and honking horns when it is out enjoying the open road. At this year's WaveCrest 2011 Woodie Meet, I had the good fortune to meet that fine gentleman, who built a really nice Chevy Tin Woodie and was a winner on your show. I gave him, and his wife, GOOD LUCK WaveCrest 2011 Friendship Coasters, as a token of having met him and getting to see his My Ride Rules winning vehicle. Seems pretty cool, to me, to be sending you folks this email; one week, to the day, after meeting him. To give you a hint of my personality, I had a reflective magnetic white sign made for display on PLYWOOD's trunk lid that states CALIFORNIA OR RUST!!! I am a member of the National Woodie Club, San Diego Woodies and the National Plymouth Owners Club. PLYWOOD is all stock and original; except for the wood attached to the metal skin. This particular unique Plymouth Phantom Woodie has been featured twice in the National Woodie Club's Woodie Times magazine and once in the Plymouth Owners Club The Plymouth Bulletin magazine. I am 67 years of age, a really nice guy, semi retired, can dish it out (nicely) and take it as well. Thanks for taking the time to consider an oddball and charming car which gives a lot of joy and pleasure to those who see it.

randroid Posted September 25, 2011 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 Charlie, On the merits of verbosity alone you are a shoe-in for acceptance, and your credits (impressive unto themselves) lend credence to the concept of owning a speckled glove. Luck will play no part in your imminent selection for the TV episode as there is nothing cookie-cutter concerning Plywood. Once selected and the filming begins does that mean the beer is out of the picture? If so you may want to reconsider acceptance on your part. I would. -Randy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg g Posted September 25, 2011 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 If selected you get to drive the other entrant's cars. Be sure to bone up on you ham fisted, non co ordinated feet and hands, clutch shuddering third gear starting driving technique, and try to forget that a Miata with an automatic transmision and skate board wheels is chickmobile. I have only watched one show, and it did not inspire me to watch any others. The one I caught featured a Hudson, a over carbureted Mustang, a totally over done ram pickup, and a totaly obnoxious guy with a basicaly stock new Mini.

I have never seen the show until a few minutes ago when I found it on HULU as linked below. http://www.hulu.com/watch/277769/my-ride-rules-heels-meet-wheels I made it through the first 3.5 minutes and had seen enough to make sure I never watch it again.

Charlie Olson Posted September 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 Normally, I would not be interested in any reality TV shows, since I have had my 15 minutes of fame twice in my life, so far. However, after meeting the guy, as nice and easy going as possible, who won with his tin woodie at WaveCrest, last Saturday, and receiving the email referring to the filming company coming to AZ; I decided to keep enjoying my eccentric old age and have some fun with this possible opportunity. Everything I do do with PLYWOOD, in the public arena, adds provenance and mystic to the cars intangible worth; thus increasing my financial well being and opens many new doors to meeting new people and having many new pleasant experiences. Since none of you has ever offered me a dime to help me have a better life, I think I'll just continue to do things my way. The Woody World folks are all wishing me well in this possible adventure. Discouraging to see Plymouth people on this forum be less than kind, so screw you.
