This story contains MINOR SPOILERS for the upcoming film "Star Trek."
Yesterday, a car accident near the set exposed the fact that J.J. Abrams
was in town filming scenes for his upcoming "Star Trek" movie in
Bakersfield, Calif. But what convinced him to travel a hundred miles
from Los Angeles?
"Star Trek" executive producer Jeffery Chernoz told KGET-Channel 17 that
the site they're using to film scenes looks a lot like Capt. Kirk's home
state of Iowa, and it was a great way to get those scenes in without
actually having to make the trip to Iowa.
"We wanted something that looked like Iowa, and we also wanted to stay
close to Los Angeles," Chernoz said. "So, we came out here and scouted
and realized that we can kind of make Iowa out of Bakersfield."
Bakersfield is located about equidistant from Los Angeles and Fresno, a
city of more than 300,000 people who have had their fair share of
television and movie filming in the past including the CBS series
"Jericho" as well as the film "The Running Man."

It better not be Kirk's because he never drove a car until Piece Of The
Action.

Indeed!
And it was one of the few things he wasn't very good at.
If it is 'Kirk'... Well, it is /not/ the original universe. Even the
remastered episodes are /not/ the original universe with those canon
changes.

That's right and he clearly didn't know how to drive.

Right you are, he sucked at it.

Have you SEEN "A piece of the action"? Do you remember the scene where
he drove?
Wheels, Mr. Spock.
A flivver, Captain.
Key in the ignition. Turn the ignition on ...
and nothing happens. Where's the starter? There's the starter.[Engine
Starts] Yes!
Interesting.
[Grinding]
Oops! Gears.
Yes. Oh, I believe they had a device known as a ... clutch. Clutch,
Captain. Perhaps one of those pedals on the floor.
I kind of like this. I'm going to get one myself.

That's right he didn't. Expected the thing to just turn on. Didn't
know what a clutch was. Had only a vague idea about gears. Spock
criticized his driving, saying,
"Captain, you are an excellent starship commander. But as a taxi driver,
you leave much to be desired."
