Eric Murphy on "Entourage"
Q: What was the first car you ever owned?
A: The first car I ever owned was an Audi 5000, a 1988 Audi 5000. It got keyed two weeks after I had it. I was devastated.

Guest starred as himself on "Entourage"; and starred in "The Karate Kid"
Q: What was the first car you ever owned?
A: The first car I ever owned was a Mercury Montego, burnt orange.

Q: Did you get anywhere with the ladies in that car?
A: Not many that I can brag about. My dad let me have that car. It was a used car, but it was freshly painted. It was OK. My mom was happy because there was a ton of metal around me. It was a big car, but this was the '70s.

Q: Do you have a dream car?
A: The one car that I have that might be interesting news is I own the '47 Ford convertible from “The Karate Kid” movie. The “wax-on, wax-off” car.

Q: Did you buy it?
A: No, they gave it to me. This was 1990, I guess, when they gave it to me. But now it's in storage and needs a great deal of restoration. It's sort of like the white elephant, but it's the coolest thing. I always know if I'm in trouble, I can always put it up on eBay or something. [laughs] My son's waiting for it. He's 11. So he's got a little time.

Q: Do you think it'll be drivable?
A: It is drivable. It's just not drivable today. Those cars are very simple, so they don't take a whole heck of a lot to get back to working. But it's never going to go 0 to 60 in more than, like, 20 minutes.

Q: You'll trust your son with such a relic?
A: Somebody's got to have it. But it's a bit of pop culture, so it's cool. He's excited.

Q: Does he think it's cool that his dad is the Karate Kid?
A: He does think it's cool. He's 11. Maybe when he's 15, he won't. My daughter's 15. It's OK if I can get her to a cool premiere, but otherwise I'm just, like, you know.

Q: She doesn't want the car?
A: No. She wants to be driven.

Q: Do you have a car that you own right now?
A: Yes, I'm selling it. So if anyone wants to buy it, it's a Porsche Cayenne S. It's a Merlot color, black leather interior, navigation system; it's got the wooden steering wheel and panel. But I want a Prius.

Q: Why are you selling it?
A: Why am I selling it? Because I feel like a bad human being, and I hate to say this, but when you're an actor and in the spotlight, people watch what you do, people watch what you drive, watch what you say. And it feels to me — I'm into charities and into those kind of things — so I feel like if I'm trying to make a change and everything else and voice my opinion, then at least I can be driving a good, healthy car.
