He reveals that his company built around 27 cars for this movie, emphasizing the need for period-accurate vehicles ranging from the 1930s to 2001. He expresses regret over selling a 'Laughing Clown Malt Liquor' car, which was part of their collection and appeared in the film, highlighting the space constraints of maintaining a large car collection. Andy concludes this section by pointing out that his work in film production often required him to be extremely busy, sometimes even turning down requests from actors like Will Ferrell.
