Burt Reynolds Personal "Bandit" Trans Am sells for $480,000.00 at auction - Actor, Burt Reynolds, sold his personal Trans Am at Julien's Auction in Las Vegas. Reynolds once commanded box office power like no other in his day, but rumors of financial troubles or downsizing has caused him to relinquish many of his prize memorabilia. As the price of the 70's iconic Pontiac Trans Am have risen in recent years, a little south of a half a million seem a tad steep to me. Yet, it would be cool to have in my garage! It was his daily driver, so maybe I could go fetch some Maine lobsters for Paul Williams? Bandit fans will know what I mean.

2014 LA Auto Show - To sum up the 2014 LA Auto Show -- Baby Utes, Alternative Fuel and Sporty Flare! LA is the home of the car culture, so no wonder the manufacturers choose the November auto show to show-off the like of the Mini Cooper Superleggera, VW GTI, and the Lexus LF-C2. Small cross-over SUV's seemed to be all the rage as the OEM's chase the CAFE Standards and younger buyers. On the flip side of that, horsepower is still on the rise long with hydrogen powered cars of the future. From Green to Mean, LA Auto Show has something for the car side of you!

Cars and Coffee - Irvine California - If you have never attended a Cars and Coffee event, it's a Saturday morning early get together for gear heads and spectators alike. Taken the financial demographic of South Orange County, the cars you will see match the neighborhood. Tuck quietly (at least they hope) between the corporate Mazda and Ford building, Cars and Coffee is the place to see some of the most exotic cars on the road today. Sadly, like all good things, it will soon come to an end. The area that was once all commercial buildings off of the freeway, now sport a hotel and luxury apartments. So, unless you enjoy the rev of a high horsepower engine early in the morning, Cars and Coffee may be a nuisance. We'll keep our eye open for a new location.
