Friends of Merry O’l ENGLAND visit the Fireball…
Had lunch yesterday with friends Adam and Gemma from England. Went to The Rose in Venice for some good grub and awesome convo. These guys have been perusing the West Coast, starting in Las Vegas, Palm Springs and them to LA for some sun. Grateful that they asked me to lunch to talk cars, movies, travel and all things good.
There’s nothing like getting together with friends and food. Just call ’em and do it…
A Day on the SANMO Bluffs…
You really have to take some time and decompress. Life can slowly build up and before you know it, stress sneaks in and lays the smackdown. And that can hurt… so…
Kathie and I like to visit our own town. Areas you’d normally drive right past, we’ll stop, park and just chill through a park. And that’s what we did a few days ago in Santa Monica. Not surprisingly, we found all kinds of cool stuff. Spectacular views, trees, cool houses and happy pups.
Life is meant to be enjoyed and as long as you’re present, you can. And that brings more of the same. Be the thing… and the thing happens more.
FAST & FURIOUS 6 Final Trailer is Vehicular Warfare…
Each one of these movies escalates into the stratosphere, this time cars are jumpin,’ people are flying and pretty sure Dwayne Johnson is bigger. Summer’s getting off to a furious start. Watch!
WATCH! PACIFIC RIM Trailer kicks Transformers right in the KEESTER…
Contemplating A NEW SHOW… What’s it gonna be?
Time for a shift. The next few months are going to be really cool, as Summer is my favorite time of year and it brings Car Coolness in abundance. So, that brings me to the close of one show… and the launch of another. July 1st, I’ll be launching an All New Show for The Auto Channel and Online. More expansive than 5MINUTE DRIVE and a lot more fun.
What’s it gonna be? Well, that will be revealed soon, but the focus is on the launch of Book 2 first. But… if you want to guess, then leave a post below. If you guess right, I’LL SEND YOU CHOCOLATE!!

It’s Monday. And being Monday, that means that by the end of the week, cool things will a cometh. And it’s my job to show you that the future is cool and THAT’S where we’re headed. So, get ready for…
LG’s New Curved OLED Screen gives an IMAX feel, so they say. I believe them. On sale later this year. The 2015 Chevy Cruze in disguise… although seemingly not all that different than the previous model. But, SURPRISE! It will be.
Then… how about turning your iPhone into a Walkie-Talkie? Boom, done. A really cool Kuki Chair by Zaha Hadid, La Luciole Concert Hall by Moussafir Architectes and finally… a cool pad somewhere in the U.S. I would have painted it something other than… wait for it, wait for it… BEIGE, TAN and everything in between. Bleah.
2013 CHEVROLET CAMARO SS CONVERTY headed to the Fireball Pad…
Incoming for this week is this smokin’ hot 400hp 2013 Chevrolet Camaro SS Convertible that I’ll be showcasing at next weekend’s BIG PHOTO SHOW at The LA Convention Center. I’ll be doing a couple of Photo Seminars using this car along with the 8 other Movie Cars on display in the SONY Booth right as you come in.
Be sure to come visit me and say hi! I’ll have chocolate… because.

Fireball Pop comes back from PARIS…
So my brother Ethan, for his 50th Birthday, decided to grab Fireball Pop, my sis Jorge, his wife Dee and daughter Alexa for a trip to Paris. Pop had never been to Europe, and this was the first time in 85 years! So cool. By these shots, it looks like they had a great time.
Paris is a very cool city, and a great place to spend your Birthday. Check out more shots on Ethan’s FB Page here.
