Fuel up on what’s GOOD…
Yea, I bounce around a lot with different products, seeing what’s worthy of becoming Fireballed. And the guys at BIOMETICS have really helped to raise the bar in the health arena. Check ‘em out when you can, but there’s no fun in the car world when you’re always feeling sick and tired. Get healthy. (The protein drinks are awesome…) The karate lady is my wife, Kathie. Steer clear or she’ll do a slice and dice!

Ok, so I’ve been gettin’ pressure from fans to reveal the actual build shots of KITT from CVS, so I’ve finally snapped…
Gaze in utter lunacy at ourMustang beast and start building your own! Don’t ask me a lot of questions about it right now, as the Studio barely let us release these! Listen to The Hollywood Car Show next week for more “Behind the Scenes” tidbits, but you can watch my page on StreetFire or Facebook for more about our MOVIE CARS.

Concepts… No, obviously not the final design. Doh. But, I may still have to build this…;-)
This week’s favorite TRAILER…
A day at the SHOP…
Walking the shop this morning at CVS, I can’t help thinking to be grateful. Grateful that there are cars here. Any cars. And with all the “economy” talk, people are in a lot of fear.
But it’s important to realize that things are what you believe they are. If you believe that the economy sucks, then it does. But if you believe that things are ok, then they are. So, what should you believe?
What makes you feel best, of course. That’s my answer. And that’s a choice. Choose to have a good day, and you will. Choose to spread cheer and hope, and that’s what you’ll give. Choose to treat people with love and respect and that’s what you’ll get back.
Go on. The world is waiting for you to make a choice. So, choose what propels us forward, not what keeps us locked in fear. Just for today, choose something positive.
I choose to go have a venti. Maybe a treat, too. And have one on me…
(3) commentsOne of the best movie CARS…
Easily, one of the best and coolest designs for a movie car ever done. However, the story isn’t a Hollywood story. Seems a mechanic was called in to work on “Mad Max” back in the day and after hearing that they needed a cool car for the film, told them about his neighbor’s beat up Aussie Ford Falcon. It was a mess and looked like a good bad guy car. And voila!
Although, this diecast is cleaner that his ever was. Still, the most expensive movie car toy you can get. This one, is $70 bucks!

A day of great CHANGE…
Ah, change. The only constant in the world. Today we made a massive shift in our government. Barak Obama became President of the United States, and I…? I discovered that too much salt in chocolate madeleines makes them totally disgusting.
Now, like Obama, I strategizes, planned, believed and followed my gut. But, with change, comes challenges. His challenge? Take on the world problems. ….Mine? Perfect madeleines with a chocolaty flavor. Beauty, eh?
But, unlike Obama with his skills and expertise, I faltered in my need to excercise a unique well baked treat. So, it’s back to the drawing board for my poor little chocolaty friends.
No, I’m not of the level of President Barak Obama. But, when all is said and done, I do give good chocolate. Not sure how good HIS madeleines would be.
He does have one kickass limo, though.
(0) CommentsLittle steps add up to big THINGS…
…A hard concept to take to heart sometimes. Most of us want to just “do the thing” and not have to build up to it. Instant muscles, instant job, instant car. What we don’t realize is that small steps add up to big things and always have. There is NO WAY around it.
Taking responsibility is the first step. Say, you have a car in your garage that you want to rebuild. You can’t just go out there for 12 weeks straight and build it, non stop. It won’t get done that way and you’ll burn out as all of us do. But, a little at a time as evidenced with EVERYTHING we human nerds do results in success.
Where can you begin right now? How about that car in your garage? 15 minutes a day on anything will make you a master of it in a year. How about paying off debt or cleaning the house?
Make pact today to take small steps to greatness. The results will astound you.
(0) CommentsBMW, Hyundai, Holden concepts REVEALED…
Unfortunately, not a lot of excitement here except for the Holden. And that’s in Australia. What are these car makers thinking? That were bland design-unfriendly neer-do-wells?
I do respect Chris Bangle and his team at BMW for pushing the envelope, but I really wish that a car maker would step up and give us something unique and not as a concept. At this point, ANY car maker… We want to DRIVE these things!!
