Car Christmas


It is that time of year again (not Christmas!), but the LA Auto Show! Auto shows occur in many cities, but I am partial to the LA one! Started in 1907 with ninety-nine vehicles on display at Morley’s Skating Rink, it has now grown to display concept car and world debuts. Open to the public on December 7 - 13th. Be sure to round everyone up and enjoy the car fun! I will be there for one of the weekends because my day job keeps me busy with projects like Snoop Dogg's new record! Look for me at the auto show, and I will give you a button or sticker.

Drive Ins


Snuggle up, it is winter drive in time! I was too young to be apart of the drive-in culture, however, I am looking to dive into it now. LA currently has Madex's Guerrilla Drive In check out the blog.

I can't wait until the Muppet Christmas Carol plays!

Madex's GuerrilLA Drive In will be pulling in December 6th at 8pm.

Dress warm and Picnic or stay in your car with the heater on blast.

Audio transmitted to your car stereo. 104.7FM

Come Hungry, the The Franken Stand will be on hand for your vegan hot dog needs.

Address: 1032. s. main street. DTLA

Thanks for keeping this LA's best kept secret,

Madex

The first drive in was created by Richard Hollingshead in 1933. Richard Hollingshead's vision was an open-air movie theater where moviegoers could watch from their own cars. He experimented in his own driveway at the beginning, and officially got the patent on it in 1933.

I will provide you with a full review after I go.

Guest Writer! "Sweet Jams"



Hi Kids,

Hedonism is a great part of life, and it’s a shame when it passes you
by. Everybody has their addictions, from the weirdos who love feet, to
the girls that claim to get their jollies of eating expensive-ass chocolate.

Sure, I have mine too. In N Out burger, yeah, making love to a woman?
Why not? But paramount even to those lovely parts of life, are the few
moments that you get to waft in the smell of a new automobile. Think
about it… you will get the smell of a new car WAY fewer times than just
about any other hedonistic hobby out there. I can dig rough foreplay
just as much as anyone, black whips and all.

Speaking of black whips though, I purchased a brand new, 2010 Scion xB.
I know what you’re thinking…not the most gangster of cars, but I assure
you, in the words of Paul Wall, “I could still catch boppers if I drove
a cab”.

This thing is slick; black on black, lots of bells and whistles. But the
show stopper that I’ve enjoy in the few hours I’ve owned it is, that’s
right, the new smell. After taking my first breath, I felt nostalgic to
the day when I met the owner of this lovely website here. But even SHE
is trumped by the sheer inebriation of pleasure dosed straight to my
olfactory.

I know you want to be like me, and I know you’re probably going to run
to the dealership to try and get a whiff. But it’s just not the same… go
grab a new car, and indulge yourself as I have.

Until next time my friends,

~Flak
