Moving Along

It is official.  I am no longer actively in the car business.  I finally got out and have taken a new position in the creative world.  Effective immediately, I am the Director of Client Relations for SemiBig Creative Industries, a full service design firm based in Oakland, California, and with a new office in Dallas, Texas.  Check out our website for more about the company and what we do.

Don't worry, for all three of you who read this (thanks, Mom) I will continue to post my witty commentary.  Have no fear, I am still an "automotive enthusiast" and will continue to have opinions that I won't keep to myself.  Watch out for me on the roads in Dallas and Houston and all points in between.  I'll be the jackass on the side of the road with the Highway Patrol!

One That Got Away, One To Take Its Place?

My friend Rick and I met when we worked together at Tesla.  We found a number of common interests, including cars, music, and a love of writing.  While I whittle away at this blogging thing Rick has taken a bigger leap and is working full-time on his writing now, but while his take on the great American novel is in progress he also has a blog for his extraneous writings.  One of his recent posts about the one (car) that got away brought back memories of my "one."  ( click here for Rick's post ) I've written about my '87 M3 on these virtual pages before, and neither my passion for that car nor the regret I have from selling it have subsided.  Now that the market for the E30 M3 is approaching air-cooled Porsche levels of crazy prices, my chances of picking up another one any time soon are slim-to-none.  So it shall remain on my most-wanted list until such time as I can afford one again.  In the meantime, I've added it to my automotive bucket list. ...

Happy Belated Anniversary. To Me.

I took a few minutes this evening and scrolled back in time to read some of my earlier posts on this here blog.  Only after this trip down memory lane did I notice that that the fifth anniversary of my writing endeavor was on January 1st of this year. I can't believe I've been plugging away at this for five years now.  And by plugging away, I mean occasionally remembering that I have this blog and adding a little something to it. Thanks to all my readers.  I think I'm up to 10 now!  Happy Anniversary and Happy New Year!

Who is this guy, anyway?

The best car I've ever had.  I miss this one the most. 1988 BMW M3 As a component of my attempts at personal growth and self-promotion, I took it upon myself to establish a personal mission statement.  This required a little retrospection, and turned into this biographical statement about how I got here and how that has shaped my goals as a writer.  So here it is: A future automotive idealist, taken home from a New Orleans hospital in a silver Volkswagen 411 sedan, my automotive obsession was but a glimmer in my tiny newborn eyes.  A few years later, per my mother’s frequent re-telling of the story, from my car seat in the back of that VW, I was recognizing far off in the distance a car that I knew to be a Mercedes Benz.  Precious, but she pointed out that I couldn’t possibly recognize even the three-pointed star from that distance.  Oh, but I could.  And I had, and it was.  The first treasured moment in the life of a true car geek.
