DEMOLITION MAN, Delorean, Goodyear, Swiss Family & Adam 12!
What’s up you JUGGLIN’ JACKALOPES and welcome to today’s AUTOMOTIVE POP CULTURE! Let’s get into some AutoPop with Fireball’s Art of Stallone’s DEMOLITION MAN (Check out the MUGSHOT!) and a wild VOLCANIC DELOREAN!! So cool!!
DID YOU KNOW?? The police cars in Demolition Man were actually the 1992 GM Ultralite concept car. The Ultralite was built with a carbon fiber body to be lightweight and achieve impressive fuel economy, reportedly around 100 miles per gallon! General Motors provided 18 of its driveable concept cars, including the Ultralite, for the film’s production and to create the impression of a police force, over 20 fiberglass replicas were built for filming. It featured distinctive full-length gullwing doors, allowing easy access to both front and back seats simultaneously, and while the original Ultralite concept was silver… it was painted in the classic black and white police livery for the film.
And meanwhile, ON PLANET FIREBALL… Fireball peruses Dom’s CHARGER from “Fast & Furious” that they build at CVS for the first film, scoots the GOODYEAR BLIMP with Actor DENISE CROSBY (Star Trek/Ray Donovan), the INGLIS CLASSICS CAR SHOW is coming in August and it’s gonna be EPIC, Fireball & Kim with a Vintage HupMobile at a show in Santa Barbara, the Cast of SWISS FAMILY ROBINSON TV Classic (Written by Fireball Pop, Anthony Lawrence!!) and ON SET with the original ADAM 12!!

What’s up you GONADIAN GONADS and welcome to today’s AUTOMOTIVE POP CULTURE!! Huuuge weekend of cool shows and let’s celebrate with Fireball’s WINNEBAGO METH RV from BREAKING BAD!! Careful to not have too many COOKS in the KITCHEN!
DID YOU KNOW?? “The Krystal Ship” name highlights the role of the 1986 Fleetwood Bounder in their illegal drug operation for BREAKING BAD! The name might even be a nod to The Doors’ song “Crystal Ship,” subtly reflecting the internal struggles of the characters. Thankfully, the real RV used in filming was retained by Sony Pictures Studio for studio tours, where fans can see it up close. Hopefully, not cooking…
And meanwhile, on today’s FIREBALL AUTO ADVENTURE… The Ball visits ILM in San Fran for a Convo with GrandMaster Yoda. He’s Stone-Cold awesome!

JDM DELOREAN, Tony Curtis, Space Shuttle, Camaro & BOSOZOKU!
What’s up you FREAKY FARTOLOGISTS and welcome to today’s AUTOMOTIVE POP CULTURE! Let’s Bang the Gong with Fireball’s JDM BOSOZOKU DELOREAN ART and imagine what a Japanese Future might look like! Check out the Mugshot NOW!
DID YOU KNOW?? The DMC DeLorean, famous from Back to the Future, has some interesting facts tied to it. The car’s speedometer only went up to 85 mph in production models, but a sticker was added to show 95 mph for filming. The movie’s choice of 88 mph for time travel was random. Six DeLoreans were used during filming, including one fiberglass replica. The restored DeLorean time machine features functional time circuits and sound effects, unlike the original movie prop. Only around 9,000 DeLoreans were ever made!
And meanwhile, on today’s FIREBALL SOCAL ADVENTURE… Remember The Ball on the News every time an accident happened in Malibu? Well, he’s in the 805 now where there’s nothing but cool CAR SHOWS!

HOT WHEELS BEATNIK, Boba Fett, Airwolf, On Set & BADASS ART!
What’s up you ENDOPLASTIC RECTALNATORS and welcome to today’s AUTOMOTIVE POP CULTURE! So let’s bust out the Spectraflame Pinkness on a CUSTOM HOT WHEELS BEATNIK BANDIT! This slipperly sloop is certainly a stable of any Diecast Collection, but what Hot Wheels should Fireball do next??
DID YOU KNOW? Rarity and Value: Spectraflame pink Hot Wheels, particularly those from the early Redline era (1968-1977), are among the rarest and most valuable Hot Wheels cars. This is often attributed to the belief that pink was considered a “girl’s color” back then, leading to lower production numbers as Hot Wheels were primarily aimed at boys. The “Pink Party Cars”: Hot Wheels’ Red Line Club (RLC) celebrates the rarity of pink Spectraflame by periodically releasing “Pink Party Cars” as exclusives for club members. These releases are often highly limited, sometimes with only 1,000-1,500 units produced.
And meanwhile, in today’s FIREBALL ADVENTURE… The Ball puts a deal together with the FETT for his own car. Gonna be tough to improve on the SLAVE 1! Also, Fireball and Pop back in the day on set for NATIONAL TREASURE 2! Fireball story-boarding led to a lot of cool ops. SEMINARS are a great way to ignite Creativity! Have Fireball give a talk at your next event and LAUNCH SOME COOLNESS! And lastly… great vintage snap of AIRWOLF star JAN-MICHAEL VINCENT!
CUSTOM COLORING BOOKS are growin’ like weeds! Fireball’s doing a book right now for Las Vegas’ NOSTALGIA STREET RODS, but check out the NATIONAL AUTOMOBILE MUSEUM, Heather Edward’s THE ADVICE OF DRAGONS and the ZACHARI DUNES MANDALAY BAY!!
