Fireball’s Alphabet of Awesomeness… The B’s

B. …B is a good letter. It stands for BITCHIN.’ Or maybe BOLONEY. Fried Boloney. Or how about BADASS. That’s a good one.

The word “be” suggests the present moment. As in “I be bitchin.” Which you KNOW you are. Not grammatically the best of usages, but hey, we’re car people and we say things like that.

So, here’s the best of the “B’s.” Not all of them, as the list would go on around the moon, but just a teaser. So, after you’ve checked them out… “Be positive and make something of your day.”

The B’s. Oh, and join in on my upcoming CAR SHOW in Huntington Beach.

Nate Truman: Fireball PICK OF THE WEEK

So, my buddy Nate is an interesting guy. Not because he’s a huge MOVIE CAR buff or that he drives an exact replica of the original BATMOBILE. Street Legal.

Nate is interesting because he GIVES in special ways. His website is filled with tremendous inspirations for those so inclined to visit, but with his car and STAR CAR CENTRAL, his group travels to shows for free to give them glimpses of cool Hollywood Icons. (Be sure to check out the website) Whether it’s parades, hospitals or car shows, Nate’s group makes an impact.

Before you can give back to anyone, you have to truly find what you love to do. Don’t get me wrong, everyone can use a helping hand, but the one thing that people need most is inspiration. Seeds that help internally to grow prosperity, health and the true things that make a difference.

Big kudos to Nate and all those out there that are working to give their time, work and devotion to people less fortunate. Like attracts like. Give and what comes back will be 10-fold. Nate is “AUTOINSPIRATION.”

I hope he gives me a ride in that beast…

Cool cars… DUH…

GM's Nuclear powered Flying Mobile

Okay, so my buddy Alan and I wnet to the Petersen Automotive Museum last weekend or so to hear a talk about weird cars. But it ended up being a talk about green technology… to which none of these cars have. But… this is the Petersen. And if you know this museum, it’s got some of the coolest cars on the planet.

Check it. I’d lay my tush into any one of these rides. Wonder if they’d trade for the bag of gumballs I have in my office. They’re only a year old, but the flavor really lasts.

I’m just sayin.’

The Movie Car LIFE…

And so, the life of the MOVIE CAR continues….

I came into CVS a little while back to see something I hadn’t seen in a few years. The car I did for the film SON OF THE MASK was built in Australia over a Holden Monaro. The film was shot there, then the car was shipped to the US for promotional purposes. I did that for several months (The LA Auto Show) and it was then put into storage by New Line Cinema. At the time, an undisclosed location in Sun Valley.

I tried to buy the car back then until it disappeared. Took about a year of investigation to find out where it waent. Since 2005, it’s been collecting dust with many other famous movie props in the warehouse. Things like the Big Monkey my wife built for THE GRINCH and lots of stuff from THE FLINTSTONES.

2 weeks ago, everything that had belonged to New Line was removed by Warner Bros, since the former was bought out by the latter. The Muscle Car was trucked to CVS for the weekend where I snapped these (see the Flintstones Car in the mirror?) and then brought to Warner Bros Studios where it will reside in their Museum. Now, did you know that you could take a tour at the WB??

What you’ll find there in the next couple of weeks is what you see above plus many more. So, call WB if you want to take a tour and check out these rides up close. It’s a day of fun for sure. You’ll get to take a spin down the BLADE RUNNER street as well.
