Tom Cruise is my favorite Actor and his 1990 blockbuster
hit movie Days Of Thunder is my favorite movie, cause when
i was working at a Local Sign Company here in Daytona Beach back in 1990' paramount pictures came here to town to film
Tom's movie Days Of Thunder and when paramount was here
they asked my old sign co to put up the PATRIOT CAR RENTAL
sign for the movie.. and of course my brother -in law- was
working there at the same sign co too, and we did.. so
after the one scene was done being filmed where Tom and the other guy rented the black car at the fake "PATRIOT CAR
RENTAL" on A1A S.Atlantic Ave' i asked Tom to sign his
autogragh on the bottom left corner of the sign and he
signed it for me.. Thanks Again Tommy.. :) but when after
paramount asked us to put up the sign' they gave us a Days
Of Thunder paramount press pass to me and my brother -in
law- & we got to watch all of the parts of the movie behind the scense that was being filmed here in Daytona Beach. we
had a really fun time with that and when Tom was off the
set and not filming and taking a little time off' me and my brother -in law- & Tom went out to a bar here in daytona
and we drank our asses off.. that kicked ass.. lol. and
then after that, Tom, Nic, Jerry, Don, My Brother -in law-
and me all went out to eat together at the Olive Garden. we all sat in the very back part of the resturaunt and Tom
tipped the waitress $100.00 and i asked tom, i said hey
Tom' and he said yeah' i said is that all she's worth?? and he said yeah! and we all laughed and had a great time. but
i do have about 32 pictures of me with Tom while he was
here in Daytona Beach filming Days Of Thunder. if you have
not yet seen this movie' then you need to go out and rent
and watch it, cause this movie will really knock you off
your feet.. just alittle tip' if you like racing then
you'll love this movie.. but anyways' i do have the
"PATRIOT CAR RENTAL" sign out of the movie and i have it on my bedroom wall. well' Finally! i have new Pics that i took while behind the set of the movie... here's some pics..
Enjoy! and if you may have any questions reguarding this
