Dub Show in Anaheim, CA – Ghost Motorsports Features Sweet Rides
The Dub Show this year was a blast! Lots of cool cars, music and interesting people. I always love seeing the latest and greatest tricked out rides (or shall I say “built” rides because I’m a Cobra owner).
Bimmerfest 2010 at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, CA
I was recently informed that Bimmerfest 2010 will be held at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, CA this year, which is awesome news! I have attended the event for 5+ years and the drive to Santa Barbara always – simply said – sucked.
Volkswagen ‘Punch Dub’ Super Bowl Commercial
What is the funniest Super Bowl commercial of 2010? By far, and I mean by far, Volkswagen’s “Punch Dub” ad takes the cake. What makes it even better is seeing the story behind the classic game “Punch Buggy” (aka Slug Bug), which is elaborately described by the creator himself — Charlie “Sluggy” Patterson.
Nissan Skyline GT-R + Mustang Cobra + Mercedes C63 at Ghost Motorsports
A few days back I stopped by Ghost Motorsports in West Los Angeles to have my car checked out and happened to have my Nikon D90 on me. I took a few videos of cars on the lot as well as photos of show cars inside the shop. Enjoy!…
Why is Search Engine Optimization Important for Car Dealerships?
Good ole’ search engine optimization, you gotta love it! Well, if you actually understand how it works that is. Search engine optimization is the act of optimization websites and content to improve “organic” or “natural” search result placement. When a website appears on the first page of search listings, it is far more likely to be clicked on. Increased impressions leads to more clicks and — ultimately — more profit. The goal of SEO is to sidestep costly Google AdWords campaigns that charge per click or per thousand impressions, to eliminate environmentally unfriendly print ads, to demolish overpriced television advertisements, all while building a stronger online brand and increasing sales at the same time. For car dealerships, search engine optimization is an excellent marketing medium that should not, and I repeat should not, be ignored. The average joe purchases a new vehicle every 4-6 years, which is very infrequent compared to groceries, clothing, electronics and other more commonly purchased goods. When beginning to look for a car, most customers will have no clue where to start, and do not have dealership branding in their psyche as they haven’t visited a dealership in over 4 years. This is not something they (people buying cars) do often. This is an important thing to remember.
Ford’s Entering The Green Market With Their New EcoBoost Technology
Since I was young I have always been a car nut. I remember walking down the street as a young fellow and listening to cars drive by, then I would guess the make and model. After years upon years of fine-tuning, I am able to pick out most cars — a Mustang (deep, mean, gurgling), AMG Mercedes (smooth, clean, deep sound), Porsche (raspy and higher pitched), etc. Though, now that times have progressed, I’m more impressed by a car that passes by and makes little to no sound. And, Ford’s new EcoBoost technology is something my ears and eyes really like!
Toyota’s Solar-Powered Flower Workstations
Toyota has created a garden of 18-foot-high plastic flowers in Manhattan’s Flatiron Plaza to celebrate the launch of the third-generation Prius. The flowers act as a technology and communications hub for each passerby — such a cool concept. The surreal, almost Disney-like flowers sport solar panels behind their pedals and at the base of the stems…
