the movie car that will be in the new version of Total Recall





It's good to live in San Diego for a lot of reasons, and one is that it's home to Comic Con. Of course, it's impossible to get tickets unless you are a celeb, a publishing company, or are working the event as a security guard. But this Hollywood prop was outside the convention center
