I loved the movie The Fast and The Furious. I remember right after that movie came out I started seeing a log of small cars around here done up to look like some of the street race cars in the movie, right down to the neon paint jobs and the rear spoilers. In time I [...]

Is this the most annoying commercial to come out in a while? If you don’t know which commercial I’m referring to, it’s one put out by Tide promoting the Tide To Go product that played first during the Superbowl. The ad features a younger man who has a stain on his shirt being interviewed for [...]

One of the cuter commercials that used to be shown, particularly during a race, were the Jeff Burton State Farm commercials. The commercials weren’t so much direct pitches for car insurance as they were a cute pr infomercial approach. In one commercial Jeff Burton tells his rep how many accidents he’s had. In another he [...]

Seriously. Now I enjoyed ZZ Top’s music back in the day, and still do. But as I look at them on my big tv performing live at the California Speedway for the Nascar race they look like they need to call it a day. The drummer is the only one that doesn’t look absolutely ancient. [...]

I’ve thought for a long while that some companies are great at advertising and reaching their target market. But some companies you never see ads for where you think you might. Take certain medical products, maybe something like an oxygen concentrator. Why don’t we see commercials for products like this on tv? It’d boost sales [...]

I spoke with my Dad today. He and my brother are going to the race in California tomorrow, if it stops raining. Qualifying for all races was rained out and he said there’s chance of rain tomorrow as well. There’d been no word on when the race would run if it was rained out tomorrow. [...]

When there’s a movie we really like in the theater, or a movie we really want to see that we missed in the theater we often buy it on dvd. I’d rather purchase it on dvd for $10-$15 than buy it pay per view and only be able to watch that day for $4. One [...]

My youngest watches all of the popular toddler shows. Sometimes he watches a vhs tape or dvd so much he actually starts wearing it out. As of this afternoon I have a stack of six dvds that don’t work correctly. Now that some of his movies are being retired I set out on a mission [...]

One of my favorite places to shop online in Buy.com. I bet you’re wondering why I’m telling you this on an entertainment themed blog. I’ll tell you why. They have great prices on everything they sell, and they sell just about everything. If you want to check out how their pricing stacks up against the [...]

I have been waiting for this past week, including today, since November. Today was the first official race of the season. The Daytona 500. For any racing fan who’s never been to the track you must go at least once. We went in 1999 when I was pregnant with my youngest. It’s absolutely amazing. Onward. [...]
