Now, I finally like Morgans. IF, this is what they intend to do.
Morgans, up until now, have been a little funky. Almost like putting two cars together and getting… well, …funky. But these concepts are very stylish and evoke a unique treatment to Morgan. The only factor is, now many car company’s actually make their initial concepts? How many actually do what’s on the paper?
We’ll see, but so far, so good.
This is my friend, Debrah. We’ve known her for over 25 years. And she… makes people smile.
Every time I go to the store, she hassles me. Hassles me with love, attention, kindness and pure spirit. She calls me “trouble.” Deborah is the kind of person that inspires greatness. No matter what job you have, there are those that stand out… and make a difference.
I write this in hopes that it will inspire you. I write this in hopes that it will make you see that you too, can make difference in the people you meet. Become a smile millionaire like Debrah. And if you’re having a bad day, drive to Malibu and tell her I sent you. She’ll make your day between the Famous Amos and Virgil’s Root Beer snags.
Thanks for showing me where the Boboli Pizza was today, Deborah. And thanks for inspiring us all…
As I’ve mentioned many times, my life is weird. But not in a bad way, just unexpected. Case in point… yesterday.
Up at 5:30, …on the road to the shop. Although, no one’s at the shop til 8, so Starbucks it is. I have to leave that early so as to miss LA traffic. Otherwise, I’ll drive for 3 hours to go 20 miles. Anyway…
Meet Steve Carell at Starbucks. No, not ’cause I know him, just because I stood behind him. Then commented on his drink. “Don’t you need something bigger than that?” I said.
His comment back? “Not if it’s placed correctly.” We both laughed and I introduced myself. He likes cars.
Then, off to the shop for a morning meeting with my partner John, buddy Sal and newcomer to the Fireball world, Scott Loyola. Scott is Associate Vice Prez/ Development of City of Hope. Big charity. And we have BIG plans. More on that as it develops.
Then… my son shows up with his beater car. We decipher, with the help of master mechanic Frank, that it needs an new alternator. Ok. Oh, and tires. No wait, and a new electrical system… WAIT! How a about a new car? Well… let’s get the alternator fixed first.
Then… Uncle Joe Benson and his wife Jan showed up for an “inside scoop” on the REDSTER. The dug it. Especially since it’s… NO WAY! YOU AIN’T GETTIN’ NUTTIN OUTTA ME!!
…Although he dug the ECTO 1 more. So we snapped a few, then headed to Jerry’s Deli for a Burg. Uncle Joe is the Redster Emcee, so we discussed the event along with Joe’s personal experiences talking with lame-o small time musicians like…. THE STONES, LED ZEPPELIN, ROD STEWART, STEVE MILLER, VAN HALEN and others that weren’t very good. I mean… can you believe this guy? He’s hung with legends and now? We’re having a burg. That’s Cool.
Then… off to the Vacuum Formers again for our KCL Costume Division. I personally deliver heads. Yes, foam sculpted heads. Why me? ‘Cause no one else wants to drive to Sun Valley in the summer. Hmf. (Arms crossed) But, this is a cool head. Skechers STANKFOOT. Wait ’til you see him.
Then… to by brother’s to drop off a SIPPY CUP. Yes. A Sippy Cup that he left at my house when he came over with my 1 year old niece, Alexa. I have to be pretty confident in my masculinity to say SIPPY CUP 3 times in my blog, no?
Ok, I think I’m done now… Oops. Forgot about going to PlasticMart, Printland, Aaron Bros, Gas and three other places not even near each other… But, what made the trip all worth it?
Cars… and one 300 million dollar yacht sitting out in front of my house when I got home. No, not mine. Some Russian dude trying to compete with Larry Ellis’ Yacht. C’mon… it doesn’t even have cup holders. How lame…o.
Cats’s outta the bag! …kinda.
Invites have gone out for the World Premiere of the AutoTrader Classics REDSTER. This is a Press and Sponsor only event, but you’ll see the result of it directly after. Unless… you’re Press or a Sponsor, duh.
This Hollywood Event will be off the hook with tons of cool things happening. High Level Security, Roller Skating Beauties, SuperCool Cars, oh… and I almost forgot. The REDSTER, and all Hosted by Uncle Joe Benson of KLOS.
Teaser Trailer #3 will be released this week… but keep an eye out here for EXCLUSIVE BEHIND THE SCENES UPDATES!!
Action, action… oh, and more action!! Only, in all that action, there’s something missing. Let’s see…
Salt is a Russian Spy. No wait. An American from North Korea who’s a Russian Spy, that… kills Russian guys… oh, and American guys… only she never eats, sleeps or goes pee pee. But she DID dye her hair, so that’s good.
Well, despite those teeny little issues, SALT is pretty good. It’s heart pumpin,’ it’s sexy, it’s got cool action sequences full of metal crunching vehicular contraptions that Salt jumps from… check it.
She escapes custody… Jumps on top of a Semi… Leaps to an Oil Tanker… Cartwheels to a Moving truck… Flies off and rips some dood off his motorcycle and hauls ass away from 400 FBI, CIA, NSA, PBS, ABC and Facebook Doods with superior ammo. All this, …in a beanie and backpack.
Oh then! Get this. She single handedly breaks into the White House Bunker eight stories down and beats the crap out of every CIA… I mean Facebook Agent that stupidly walks through the door! Cool!!! That’s AWESOME!!!
Angelina Jolie. She’s my hero. Go see it, ’cause it’s mindless fun and she’s had a blast doing it.
August 28th marks the WORLD PREMIERE of the AutoTrader Classics REDSTER…
What is it???
Funky. That’s what this car is. Just plain funky… Would I buy one? No… If I did, would I get it in this color? No… Do I hate it? No… it’s just funky. And that’s why it’s here… Oh, and it has MINI Cooper headlights.

Ok, I want you to read this. It’s important…
Never in my life have I had such a phenomenal experience as I’ve had in the last few days. And it began last Wednesday…
I’m in Corvallis, Oregon. Why? Because I was recommended to a Dentistry up here that was truly unique. Only, far more unique than I ever could have imagined.
We all know what it’s like to go to the Dentist. Scary. Painful. Hot Sweats… But when my buddy Chris Hubbard from LifeTime Oil Filter recommended me seeing his long time friend Chris Wood… Dentist Extraordinaire, I took him up. Never… never, have I met such a tremendous group of people as the ones who run Dixon Creek Dental. I literally flew to Portland, drove down with CH to Corvallis and began a journey …of love.
When I was a kid, 2nd grade, I had a fight with the asphalt and lost. Knocked my teeth out all over the street. Since then, I’ve had a bridge. One on a retainer, and several cemented in. But over the years, I’ve had some dental challenges that resulted in me having to take some action. I’d been thinking seriously of doing this for the last year but wanted to avoid the pain.I figured ther’d be a lot.
Arriving at the Dental office in Corvallis, I was greeted by Doc Chris, assistants Tiffany and Laura and eventually Lab Master Steve from the O’Brien Dental Lab. Their warmth and kindness was overwhelming. The place was beautiful. NOT something you receive from a Dental office.
Over the next three days, my teeth went through one of the most advanced technical processes in the industry. Computer Imaging, Laser Light, Digital Milling and more. I had never seen anything like it. But beyond all the tech was a family of people so warm and inviting that they accepted me as one of their own. Even little Sam treated me like an Uncle. (Today’s her birthday.) All as if I was a brother they were working on. …And we had fun.
We all have to go to the dentist. We all have dental issues. We all have to make choices. And we are all a product of our choices. What we believe is what’s true for us. And I believe that this group of people is the very best at what they do. Why?
…Because they love it. And because they love it, they gave me a gift. The gift of an experience I’ll never forget. And I want to thank each one of them for that.Now, you may scoff at the idea that one would go to the dentist and have a good time. How could that happen? Well, all I can say is that I will never go anywhere else. My family is here.
If you need work done on your teeth, there is no one better than Chris Wood and his team. The girls are gentle and kind. They will raise your confidence to new heights… and smile the whole way.
Thank you, guys. My appreciation isn’t enough. But now, I am an Official Smile Millionaire…
