Yes, SPOCK (Leonard Nimoy) loved CARS. I met him in 1976 in Ojai through a family friend (Actor Jeff Corey) to find out that his ears WEREN'T REAL! Imagine my horror... But I did also find out that he was a CAR GUY through and through. Especially the RIVS...

BEHIND THE SCENES... Stanley Kubrick's A CLOCKWORK ORANGE. Cool Car, Nasty Boys.

DID YOU KNOW?? Novelist Anthony Burgess originally sold the movie rights to Sir Mick Jagger, who intended to make it with The Rolling Stones. Burgess initially distrusted Kubrick as a director but was happy with the results. I guess it would have been A CLOCKWORK STONES?"

DID YOU KNOW?? Bob Wian accidentally invented the Double-Deck Hamburger when he cut a hamburger bun in half and added two patties. Wian called a young boy "Big Boy" and the name stuck. (I'm sure some people would think that's inappropriate now, but whatever...) The Burbank location restaurant was designed by Wayne McAllister and features a 70-foot neon sign and they have a plaque commemorating the "Beatles Booth" where the band ate in 1965!!

DID YOU KNOW?? The iconic boulder chase scene from "Raiders of the Lost Ark" that rolled towards Harrison Ford was actually made of fiberglass, making it lighter than it appeared, and the famous "grinding" sound of the boulder was created by recording the sound of a car's tires rolling on gravel while the sound designers were leaving the set in a car;they simply captured the sound on a microphone. The scene was shot twice, each from five different angles. Doing the math, Harrison Ford had to outrun that boulder ten times.

Good morning and Welcome to AUTOMOTIVE POP CULTURE DAILY! We hope you're sleepin' in, but if you're like us and hit the morning a runnin,' then you get first dibs on these amazing Fireball MASTERPRINTS! Today, it's HERBIE, THE INCREDICAR from THE INCREDIBLES, THE CHAVIK HOT ROD and Ken Block's HOONIGAN MUSTANG!! Also available ON MUGS to add to your AutoPop Collection! fireballtimgarage.art

DID YOU KNOW?? The interior of Herbie was painted a non-reflective gray so that studio lights and cameras wouldn't reflect off of it.  And the standard 40 horsepower engine in the VW 1200cc was not powerful enough for Herbie to look believable in racing scenes... so they sped up the film! Silly Disney folks... And Director Angela Robinson left hidden crew equipment and cheap camera tricks in the film to entertain fans! Go back and WATCH!
