Imagine its the summer of 09', and you go to check out debut of Transformers 2 at the local Drive-In in your new Camaro-And none other than Bumblebee is steadily holding the screen....And you know you've got the best "seats" in the house!

(Note-I switched out orig pic with smaller, easier viewing pic.....Also, attached 2 new ones! One is abandoned Drive-In, and second is same Drive-In with some PSing. Update-Cashier hired....BB Theatre is open for business!)

Thanks! While working on it, I got to thinking how cool it would be if GM got together with Paramount to host the actual debut of movie at a Drive-In somewhere, and invite everyone who has the new Camaro, or an older one. What a sight that would be.

Oh man... That would be great... I'm 24 and missed the whole drive in movie experience but if i went to the movies i'd love to stay in my new camaro to watch the movie, lol... especially the new transformers movie!

Yes, it would be great to see this movie in particular behind the wheel of a new Camaro! Sorry to hear you haven't gotten chance to visit a Drive-In yet. Drive-In's are a dying breed, for sure. Where I live, in Twin Cities, there were probably 10 or so in greater metro area back in the 70's. Now, there's only one, I believe.....Lost Americana, for sure. If you go to the Photobucket or Flickr sites, and type in "Drive-In Theatre", some great pics pop up of abandoned drive-ins. I may try to PS one from abandoned to reopened with Bumblebee's logo.....Here's another filtered version. Have a great day!

Cool job. I'd love to see the movie like this.

VERY nice photoshop there..the only thing with the camaro though is that your friends can't fit in the trunk to avoid paying at the drive-in!

Thanks Phantom! Its not quite up to your awesome Chops, but was fun doing! I'd love to see your PS version of same idea. Your pics are always top-notch!

I just added another one at top, of PS'd abandoned Drive-In, along with original (after a PS auto adjust, which made it much lighter)....Here's the untouched version. Something very nostalgic about those old Drive-Ins!

Thanks Fixxer! Yes, friend would have to be pretty small to fit back there!

Just posted "Final" versions! On first one, scaled down Bumblebee. And on refurbished Cashier booth, "hired" a hot cashier....BB's Theatre is now open for business

Thanks! I did a prior PS of same Camaro in Drive-In scene, and after seeing photos of the giant autobot BB at Chicago Auto Show, got the idea! Gotta love those old Drive-Ins!

Where is that abandoned Theater? I see you are from MN. I have lived in MN all my life up until 3 weeks ago. I used to go to the Drive in Theater just north of Litchfield MN, and I would LOVE to go there again in a New Camaro to watch Transformers!

Yeah those were great days. The only time you could have a rye and coke and watch a movie on a big screen. Man, I had some good times at the drive in. If you know what I mean! HEHE They used to think my car was a low rider with hydraulics on!
