- Shitty to have to
lock this one, but after Bob said he considered me
"competition" this is kind of the last thing
I want him to know. Who's to say he doesn't
install a kill switch on my car. Ha! Not that
I really think that will happen, but things have
already gotten heated between us and I just want
the freaking thing over with. In a month when
I have the car, I can mentally
relax...
-
- ...and prepare for
the fight to get this car seen and brand
RentTheDelorean.com. Man I haven't even mentioned
that because I want it to be totally done before
I announce it, but this is locked so I can
show you this:
-
 -
- Can you believe I
got that name? And worked for 2 hours to get that logo
juuuuuuuust right? It's gonna look great on business
cards. ;-)

- So I met with
Claudia today to propose a partnership: she pimps out
MY car for events she's booked, and I pimp her
out (that sounds awfully wrong) for events I'm booked.
She took it a step further and said I could show
her on the site and we can work in tandem. We won't
always of course, but if we play our cards right we
can have a very eventful 2015. Event being the key
word. The car shows and other tourist events are "ok"
for people willing to pay $10 to have their picture
taken and certainly good to add to your list of events
you've been seen at... but that isn't where the money
is. Corporate events and a day-rate can help me get my
money back. They may not be seen by the most people,
but I can honestly say that's not the pissing
match I'm interested in. I have 18 months to keep this
car and I have to go where the money is. Partnering up
with Claudia is the first step and one I'm thrilled
she's excited about. This will soon be my car at
events:
-
-
- There's a
screening of Back To The Future in June that she and
Lea Thompson will be part of and I figured that'd
be a good showcase for me but the other dude in
LA that has a VideoBob car (Martin Sanchez) is already
booked. There's no actual money in it but it did make
me grin. We're friends on Facebook, but I know he's
thinking the same thing: bring it. Now he lives in
Riverside so he's a good 90 minutes from Hollywood,
and of course I'm here - but it's all about contacts
and relationships. So it's gonna be a hustle. I look
forward to it. Congrats on this "get" brother. I'm
sure we'll run into each other soon. Hopefully it's
not in our Time Machines. ;-)
-
- Alright, some more
work on the car port and I should have some
pics/video in a could days of it finished. Whew!
Kickin' butt. Great to have focus again.
