So I get this call from a woman in Malibu early in the week. She asks if I detail in Malibu and I say "sure", but Im 20 miles away. Well, I have never detailed in Malibu before, so I ask who referred me to her. She said she heard of me from somewhere in Beverly Hills. Well, I only have one...

Some of the hottest cars you'll ever see, or may not see. I see no reason for any introduction, other then "total shock an awe"..... Over 150 combined (How many millions is that?) I finally had to put the camera down so i could enjoy the sights and sounds, but some additional appearances were...

Well, in an effort to save money with skyrocketing gas prices, I bought a great little 2003 Toyota Tacoma back in June. I now have 4 cars (Expedition, Dodge Cuad cab, Ford Taurus, and the Taco) ...and yes, insurance is killing me, nearly 3k a year with a teenage driver. Anyway, after driving the...

If you have a thing for surfing or just beautiful days at the beach, you'll appreciate this....... .....25 miles from home. This is what makes it hard for me to leave Ca. With Autumn, come stiff offshore winds (Santa Ana's), warm days, cool & starfilled nights. The memories of the best days of...

Ok, so I lend my son my laptop for a few hrs, I come back to find its down! When I start it up, I get the typical start-up Windows XP blah blah blah, then the screen goes blank and reads: SERVICES.EXE Unable to locate componant. The application has failed to start because umpnpmgr.dll was...
