Borat Has MoCo Ties?

Borat Has MoCo Ties?

Borat 2, a sequel to the 2006 hit movie, Borat, will be out later this month.
What does this have to do with MoCo?
Sascha Baron Cohen came to Criswell Chevrolet in Gaithersburg in search of a car in the first Borat movie (2006).
He was helped by salesman Jim Sell, and after checking out Corvettes and Hummers, he leaves with an old ice cream truck (which wasn’t actually purchased at Criswell).
Sadly, Mr. Sell passed away in 2012, but he did seem to have really enjoyed his moment in the Borat spotlight as some of the posts on his online obituary include different scenes of his appearance in Borat.
Harry Criswell IV, of Criswell Automotive, tells us that he and his family have the fondest memories of Jim Sell.
