The Mach 3 to find a NEW HOME…
A tremendous amount of history in this car. But now it needs a new home and a fresh start. Anyone interested in a PROJECT MINI, the Mach 3 is now available on Ebay with more than 20K worth of mods. It does have some hurdles to be overcome, but for a car that was covered in 20 mags and has been on TV and was show car for the past 5 years, it’s a steal. (The new Recaros are worth 5K alone!)
The cars of FAST & FURIOUS 4…

New ebook #2 is now AVAILABLE…
Really excited about this one. I hope you guys enjoy it as much as I did doing it. To get a copy, head HERE.
Startin’ off with a BANG…
Movie Premieres are always a dicey thing. Especially when you head out for an hour’s drive through the worst traffic possible, only to be disappointed. But, in this case, I had a chance to see a new film that really was spectacular. Jeff Jensen’s “THE FIRST, LAST RACE” was an extremely well made documentary about one man’s challenge to overcome the false thoughts of age, physical pain and a grueling challenge to prove an inner strength, inspiring all those that watched.
Jeff was on our show a few months back, talking about the making of THE FIRST, LAST RACE and we had a great time with the interview. But the sheer challenge of what he went through wasn’t clear until I saw the film last night. Jeff rode a new Ducati over 1400 miles from California to Colorado to enter The Pike’s Peak Race. The second oldest race in the country. Did the race, coming in 9th, then rode the bike all the way home. All this, with a broken leg, at 50 years old and a host of Stuntman pain related issues.(Knee surgery 17 times!) Not to mention he wrote, directed and co-edited the dang thing…
His career is extensive along with his friend’s, Paul Lane. (Pictured here with his wife, Julie) Kathie and I had a fantastic time at the screening, once again proving that true film making is about people overcoming incredible challenges.
The film will enter festivals and hopefully get distribution. Nice job, Jeff. …You inspired us all.
Pullin’ a SWITCHEROO…
Today, I’m grabbing one of the cars from Fast and Furious for one heck of a weekend. Friday brings a Premiere of a new film, “The First, Last Race,” from my buddy Jeff Jensen which we had as a guest on THCS a few weeks back. Saturday is a Smart Car Event HERE, Sunday is the VCR Show and Sunday afternoon is a cool Oscar Party.
So, I’m gonna roar this beast all over the place. And if I get a chance to meet up with any of your at the shows, ask me what I’ve got in the trunk. No, no dead bodies this time, but I’ve got free shirts!
Ok, maybe a couple of corpses… but I didn’t put them there.
THE HOLLYWOOD CAR SHOW Episode 21 this Saturday!!
T-minus 2 DAYS…
Being somewhat of a juggler, (not of balls, but of projects) it sometimes is a challenge to make sure all the dots get connected. But like a surfer looking for that perfect wave, when he finally rides it, the journey was more than worth it. It’s always a question of faith.
So many people are out there just trying to make ends meet. Even the wealthy. Just driving around yesterday, I saw too many “for Rent” signs to count. But, making ends meet didn’t just start, it’s always been there. So, it has nothing to do with what anyone else does, just you… and the way you think. So, it’s important to have faith in what you’re doing and pray that it comes to pass.
Friday finally brings a great project to fruition. The boys at Streetfire.net and I decided to join forces to create THE FIREBALLED CHANNEL. New episodes going up Friday! A unique place for entertainment on the web. And Friday is the official start date. It took a lot of hard work, but I think you guys will enjoy it. And the best part? It doesn’t cost anything. What a concept.
How do I monetize it? Is that what you’re asking? Well, with over a million hits a day, that’s a lot of people. And any company trying to get their products in the eyes of those people want to be on board… as many are already. The goal is to help people help themselves. Don’t sell things for others, help them sell it for themselves. You’ve heard that it’s always better to teach a man to fish other than catch one for him…
Have a great day today. See where you can benefit someone else from your heart, not your mind. The reward is always far more than is expected.
Pay ATTENTION…
Yea, it helps to understand that yesterday was a holiday. If you didn’t, like me, then you probably were wondering where the mail was? Or why there was very little email (150 is small for me). Or why the phone didn’t ring much? Yea, got to pay attention a bit more, doh.
Haven’t been on this site below for a while, so I thought I’d bring it up to speed a bit. YELP! A great place to share reviews about all cool things in your town. Check it out and create a profile for yourself. Fun, and it helps others.
Episode #21 of The Hollywood Car Show recording tomorrow. Airs this coming weekend. Things are happening fast in this town, so we had to skip a week to create a great show. Plus, Friday is almost here and you’ll see a new episode of something really cool on Streetfire, Jalopnik and possibly Autoblog for the new film Fast&Furious. The EVO will be in my hands all weekend, with a number of events. Come say “hi” if you see me.
Saw a couple of movies with cool cars over the weekend. Can you recognize these?
Something to look FORWARD to…
There’s a lot of things I try to do here on this blog. Talk design, movies, ideas. Things that hopefully inspire some sort of thought that might benefit you guys. Books, places, experiences that I’ve come to appreciate and therefore help those to appreciate what they have.
And that’s the bottom line. You get more of what you concentrate on. Good, Bad, in either case, you’re right. So, why not appreciate the good?
This weekend was interesting. New cars, people, ideas. Saw my buddy, Erik Estrada at the show over the weekend. If I could have gotten him to stop talking, our picture might have been better, but he’s “passionate.” Passionate about life and his fans. (He was there, like me, to sign stuff) And although he was a big star in the 70’s, he stays very busy and does good things for people.
Also saw the new Corvette Centennial close up. Look pretty bitchin.’ What do you guys think? Very aggressive and unique, and we’ll see how it performs in Transformers 2.
Also, been reading a book written in 1897. “In Tune With The Infinite.” A must read if you want more in your life. More “good” things. Not an easy book to find, though, if you want an old copy. And also, not an easy read, but take your time. And since Henry Ford attributes all his success to this book, you might want to check it out.
“Put hatred into the world, and we make it a literal hell. Put love into the world and heaven with all its beauties and glories becomes a reality.”
This is going to be an awesome week…. And you can make it that way, too.
