KING TAHOE Towing Service for wee tykes…
The other day, Kathie and I went up into to town for some grub, only to find a Dad in a parking lot trying to fit his kid’s electric toy Jeep into the truck of his CLS Mercedes. As you can imagine, this jeep was about 3 times the size of the trunk. And that’s when Kathie looked at me and said, “Time for a Tow, Fireball.”
So, we pulled up next to the man and his son as they struggled to shove this car inside, his kid about 5 years old, and said “Need a tow?”
Turned out that he and his son walked from their house on Malibu Road to get some grub too, only the Jeep ran out of juice as they arrived. They walked back home, got their car and… voila, dilemma. But, since King Tahoe is not only a Malibu Taxi but a Towing Monster and always on the case, we lifted the Jeep puppy into the back and followed them back their their cool pad. Us car guys and girls have to stick together. How else are we gonna spread coolness across the planet?
On to the next adventure…
2013 ALTCAR Expo reveals a clear leader…
Last weekend I attended the 2013 ALT CAR EXPO in Santa Monica to see who’s really standing out. Now, there were a lot of great cars and companies doing what they could to raise awareness of green tech and provide an experience in driving, but it was clear that only GM fully understood how to get to their audience. Virtually all the brands were represented except Tesla, but their booths were humdrum and lacked invitation. The people running them looked as if they wanted to be somewhere else.
GM’s booth was a lounge. An inviting spot featuring their cars, couches, food and awesome music. I found myself going there to make calls and postings. Just hanging, and if I wanted to take a spin in one of their cars, there were enough to go around. None of the other companies did that… other than stare at you as you walked by, maybe saying hi, but no engagement.
That’s how you sell cars. Provide an experience and make it fun. The GM guys… were having fun. They even brought in the 2014 Electric Cadillac ELR and said “Have a seat!” Tons of people, all smiling, having a good time.
Afterwards, I really tried to see the other booths, but it was really flat. So… off I went to find more coolness. Lesson learned.
Ship passes the FIREBALL PAD and toots…
So there I was, minding my own business and watching JACK REACHER with Tom Cruise. (Not bad so far…)
And all of a sudden, I hear this BWOOOOOOONK!!! And that,… right after an accident on PCH, following sirens and all that stuff. But this lil’ “toot” made all that noise practically silence. It was a very serious horn, forcing me to ponder what it would be like to attach it to my KING TAHOE?
Just a thought, all you coppers out there. Don’t stop me just to find out whether I swam out there, uninstalled their horn, swam back and re-installed it into my truck. THAT would be insane! Could you imagine having to hold that horn in my teeth? C’mon, let’s be realistic.
I’d at least have to bring a Hefty Sack with me…

Could be. In fact, but seeing as how it’s only 2013… there will be another thousand changes.
This week’s CONCEPT ART surpasses coolness…
I pride myself on showing you guys art that really inspires the imagination. And this week is no different. Great work from Benoit Godde, James Paick and Gregory Manchess.
Wacky Kid’s Seminar goin’ off Monday at OLM… #malibu @malibupatch
Monday begins a week long Seminar series at Our Lady of Malibu Elementary School. Principal Mike Smith is having Fireball and The Bride come in to help inspire kids to create cool careers through doing what they love the most. Playing. And since OLM is well versed in the balance of a great education mixed with fun activities and events, it’s easy to see that a Wacky Creativity Seminar would be a blast. They have tons of great events coming next month, so this kicks off a Holiday Season of Coolness. Webster is comning next, but if you want s to come visit your school, then email me and WE’LL DO THIS THANG!
If your child attends OLM, be sure to get them ready ’cause we’ll need their creative juices a flowin’ to draw a Wacky Ride together. And yes, I will have toys and candy as usual. Dooooosh…
