Joey Logano Crash At Dover In Home Depot Car

Audi R8 1Hey Cool Car Fans,

In case you missed the video of this crash that took place at the Dover racetrack this weekend, I thought I would post it here for you to check out at CoolCarGuy.com

Joey Logano, who is only 19 years old, crashed and flipped his Home Depot car eight times in the second race of the Sprint Cup chase at Dover.  What’s amazing is that he came out walking and was fine after the crash, which is a testimony to the technology that has gone into these race cars now.

Personally, I believe that God was watching out over this young man, somebody was praying for him because bad accidents don’t always end this positive where someone can walk away from their car after flipping over multiple times at high speed on the racetrack.

He said, “it was the wildest ride I’ve ever been on” and you can see from the video that it’s a ride nobody would want to be on and he’s grateful to be alive.

What’s ironic is that Tony Stewart was right behind him and bumped the No. 20 car during the race that set off the accident.  Stewart was driving the Home Depot car just last year and Joey Logano took it over this year.

Stewart now endorses Burger King and he apologized. He was pretty upset about the incident when he was interviewed over his in-car radio by the ESPN booth. “I wish I would have saw that coming,” said Stewart. “I don’t know how to say sorry enough to Joey.”

The reality is that accidents can happen at 150 plus mph and NASCAR driver’s, along with their fans, understand that is the danger of this extremely popular racing sport.

Even if you’re not a NASCAR fan, you’ll still find this video quite incredible.

Is GM Desperate Or What?

Renault 5 TurboHey Cool Car Fans,

I have to get some photos up here of my new 2007 Mazda MazdaSpeed6 that I picked up as my daily driver, after selling my 2007 Subaru WRX Limited to a client of mine.  Stay tuned for photos and details on that vehicle.

In the meantime, I had to write a quick article about the craziest PR move I’ve seen in a long time.  General Motors is now going to offer a 60 day money back guarantee.  If you’re not completely satisfied with the purchase of your vehicle they will give you your money back.  I saw this was first reported by the New York Times that General Motors wanted to prove to the world that their vehicles are as good as their competitors.  I didn’t believe it at first, but it’s for real.

Talk about a desperate attempt to get more people behind the wheel of a GM product.  They are calling it a Satisfaction Guaranteed program that is promising to give customers their money back within 60 days, if they’re not completely satisfied with their purchase. The new marketing tool, started running today and will start tomorrow.  I saw the commercials while I was watching football today and it will run from September 14, 2009 through November 30th, 2009.

This is the first time a major automaker has backed their product with a money back guarantee. The new initiative will cover new Chevrolet, Cadillac, Buick and GMC models.  I’m amazed that they would do something like this because it’s going to cause tremendous problems in the marketplace and for the company because of the fine print, details and limitations.  Come on, everyone knows that you buy a vehicle and you can’t return it for a number of liability reasons.  Cars are simply not designed to buy with money back guarantees because too many things can go wrong depending on the person behind the wheel and I’m going to bet that many people are going to be really unhappy with this deal.

If you don’t believe me, you’ll have to go read the FAQ page and see the details and limitations.

For example, you have to keep the vehicle for at least 30 days, return it within day 31 and day 60 by contacting the administrator of the program for the required paperwork.  You then must have the vehicle appraised and if there is at least $200 in damage you won’t qualify for a refund.  The refund doesn’t include dealer fees, accessories, finance charges and a number of other fees.  You can’t get your trade-in back and you are responsible for any negative equity you may have had on that vehicle.  You can have up to 4,000 miles on the vehicle.  You can’t do this deal if you’re looking for a truck for your business, but only for personal purchases.

This program may be good for some people who are in a strong financial position and just want to drive a GM vehicle for 60 days to see how they like it.  Odds are good they’ll keep it and that’s what GM is banking on with this promotion.  However, you might want to just rent a GM vehicle before you go through this ordeal.  How many people will go through the brain damage of trading their vehicle, getting financed, drive the car for 4,000 miles and then return it because they decided they don’t really like it?  If they decide to and they find out they don’t qualify for this 60 day guarantee for some reason, what’s going to be the PR backlash against GM when dealers start refusing to take back vehicles or not refunding certain fees?

You can read the full details, including the FAQ’s by clicking here.

Lexus IS-F Cool Car Commercials

Hey Cool Car Fans,

As many of my followers know, Becky and I go to the movies every week and I write movie reviews over at GoblinNetwork.com and SalesFreak.com for people to follow our trips to the box office.

2009LexusIS-F

I’ve been seeing some great commercials for the past year, on the big screen, from Lexus on their IS-F performance vehicle.  The IS-F has been designed to compete against the BMW M series and the commercials are pretty cool, so I figured I would put them up here at CoolCarGuy.com with some details on this ride.

I have some clients who are having me look for Lexus vehicles for them right now, so I thought I would show these commercials as a teaser on where Lexus is heading to move from just a luxury vehicle company to a high performance vehicle company.

This vehicle rocks for starting at around $56,760, plus dealer handling and any other options.

  • 5.0 liter V-8
  • 416hp – 371 lb-ft torque
  • 8 Speed Sport Direct Shift
  • 0-60 in 4.6 seconds

Check out the commercials.  This one shows all six of them in a row.

Cool Car Shots – 2006 Ford Mustang GT | 2009 Subaru Legacy GT

Hey Cool Car Fans,

2009LegacyGT2A couple who are clients of mine, Mike & Debbie Walker sent me a double shot photo of their vehicles that I helped them purchase, along with a few additional photos of Debbie’s 2009 Subaru Legacy GT Limited.

Actually, it’s a pretty funny story how I met Mike and Debbie to help them get their vehicles.

Mike Walker had contacted me early last year about a 2005 Pontiac GTO that I had on consignment.  It was a midnight blue color with black leather interior and a pretty sweet ride with plenty of power.  You can see photos of it here at CoolCarGuy.com, if you search on the keyword Pontiac.  It was a very cool car with 400hp and a 6.0l engine that could light up the pavement and was super fun to drive.  It ended up going to another client of mine from Europe, but that’s another story.

2009LegacyGT1

He came over and took the GTO for a drive and it reminded him a little too much of the Pontiac G6, instead of the classic GTO because of the body style. Mike was looking for something with that older muscle car flare like you find with the new body style Mustang, Challenger, Charger and the all new Camaro.  If there was one mistake that Pontiac made when they brought back the GTO that was it, they didn’t go Retro, but it doesn’t matter now that Pontiac is a classic car company under the new GM.

After driving a few vehicles, Mike decided that he wanted me to go after a 2006, Ford Mustang GT coupe with 300hp as his new ride. I tracked one down for him and you can see it in the picture above.  I got it for him through the Dealer Auctions that I have access to through hanging my license at a car dealership instead of being a vehicle Buyer’s Agent like some of the guy’s are around town and it was exactly what he wanted.  In fact, it was like special ordering a used car that I’ve done for many people over the years.

That was not the end of the story though for Mike and Debbie.  Mike went home and told his wife that he had purchased a vehicle from some guy who called himself The Cool Car Guy, a John Boyd, and  Debbie said, “I went to High School in Hudson, WI with a guy named John Boyd, what did he look like?”  Apparently, I fit the description.

I turned out to be the same guy Debbie went to High School with about 1,000 miles away from Denver and we had both moved to this part of Colorado years ago.  Fast forward and Debbie and I ended up being friends on Facebook earlier this year.  If you’re not on Facebook, it’s a pretty cool free service that another client had turned me onto using.  I didn’t realize that I had sold her husband their Mustang!  How funny is that?  She wrote on my wall that I had helped her husband and she wanted to trade her Subaru, so I helped Debbie get a 2009 Subaru Legacy GT that she now loves.

The vehicles look pretty darn cool together and I asked her to send me some photos of them, which she did.  They are now here for you to take a look at and enjoy.  Obviously, Debbie sent the photos since there are more photos of her vehicle than Mike’s.

Two great cars that go great together!  These are two super cool cars that go great together.  It almost sounds like a Reece’s peanut butter cup or Double Mint gum commercial because they look like they match other than one being American and the other Japanese.

Super Cool.

Cool Car Shot – 2009 BMW X6

BMWX6_1Hey Cool Car Fans,

I was at the car wash last week and while I was there I spotted this sweet 2009 BMW X6 that had come through the wash and was being dried off. I couldn’t help but ask the owner, who’s name was Char (I’m assuming that she spelled her name kind of like Cher only with an a instead of an e), if I could take a few photos of her ride. She said she didn’t mind and she told me that she had owned six BMW’s and this was her favorite one of the bunch.

If you’re not familiar with this vehicle, let me share with you a little bit about it. The BMW X6 was based closely on the popular X6 Concept vehicle. BMW launched the X6 coupe-crossover for the 2009 model year, but don’t be fooled because it’s really a sedan on steroids.  They have called it a “Sport Activity Coupe”, which is really the first of its kind. It’s for people who want the functionality of an SUV, but like the performance and styling of a sedan.  Along with the wild exterior comes an all-new twin-turbo V8 that will find its way into other new BMWs in the coming years.

BMWX6_2It’s not just any twin-turbo, but one that delivers 300hp in the X6 xDrive35i and 400hp in the xDrive50i.  This ride fetches $55,900 and $66,650 respectively, depending on how the model is fully equipped.  Each of these vehicles get around 18 – 20 mpg on the highway.   So, you can get performance with gas mileage that is similar to an SUV, but how many SUV’s do you know with a twin-turbo 4.4l V8 and 407hp at 5,500 RPM’s?  Talk about a cool car that drives like a road worthy rocket ship that will go from 0 to 62 mph in about 5.4 seconds.

Even the xDrive35i has a twin-turbo 3.0 V6 with 307hp is a fantastic option and plenty of performance for most drivers.  BMW is the first automaker to bring such an SUV to market, but I’m sure other automakers will be planning similar coupe-like utility vehicles as more people spot these on the road. Land Rover recently unveiled its LRX coupe-crossover concept that looks interesting, but it’s hard to beat the BMW for all around quality and performance at a great price.

BMWX6_3If there is one shortfall of this vehicle it’s that it only seats four people instead of five like the X5 model.  However, the rear seating is on the same level as the front seating with incredible amenities in the vehicle.  This includes Google to car features that allow you to send a map to the car from Google through your computer, along with sport and steptronic manual shift modes, and steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters to name just a few.  You get luxury with fantastic performance and just an all-around very cool vehicle for Colorado or any location with a change of Seasons.

Chris “Birdman” Andersen’s Monster Truck

Birdman Truck1Hey Cool Car Fans,

My wife Becky and I were pulling into the Starbucks in Castle Rock this morning, where Hoss and I normally record The Cool Car Guy Show podcast, when Chris “Birdman” Andersen pulled into the parking lot in his unbelievable Monster truck.

A couple guys I know had told me they had seen this vehicle buzzing around the Denver area, but they didn’t know who owned it.  Well, now we know and it’s hard to miss this one.

I had to take a picture of his incredible, tricked out, totally black “monster truck” and post it up at CoolCarGuy.com.  I don’t know Chris, so I didn’t want to come across as some annoying fan and ask him for details about his vehicle when he’s simply trying to get a drink at a Starbucks. That would not have been cool.

Birdman Truck2Although, I did tell him that I took a picture of his truck, which was probably odd since most people probably want a picture of him instead of his vehicle.  I sure would have liked to have been able to get more details on it because it’s just not a vehicle you see everyday for sure.

I’m not sure how much he spent on this “bad boy”, but at least $150,000, probably more like $250,000 or $350,000 the way it’s tricked out.

Before you say to yourself, “What a waste of money.” as I know some of you are thinking, “He should have bought the new Aston Martin or some other supercar.” this is an incredible piece of machinery, if you are into trucks.  I mean look at the thing!

I’m sure he has to have a Commercial Driver’s License because of the size to drive it down the road.  Chris is a big man, towering over everyone in Starbucks Birdman Truck3and he can afford to drive whatever he wants with a new $25 million contract with the Nuggets, so cut him some slack.

Personally, I think his ride is over-the-top cool and makes a statement about who he is when he’s driving down the road.  He’s definitely not concerned about the gas mileage or about being politically correct, which is going to score points with most of the readers of CoolCarGuy.com.

Keep in mind that we live in Colorado and there are plenty of people driving Ferrari’s that they spent more money on than he paid for his ride that they can’t drive in the Winter. The “Birdman’s” Monster truck will go in or over anything that comes in front of it and I’m sure he can find some places in Colorado to take it in the mud for a great time.

His monster truck took up a couple parking spots at Starbucks, as you can see the sheer size of this vehicle parked next to the Cadillac Escalade and he was with his pretty girlfriend getting a drink.   I said to Becky, “I doubt she ever asks to borrow his truck.”, which is pretty smart for a guy with his toy.

Birdman Truck4I found a photo of another vehicle that Chris owns or had owned, maybe he traded up to this new ride because the other one is just a full size pickup compared to this vehicle.  However, he made a statement with that one too with a set of horns on the front of the truck, but there is no need for any horns on this “monster”.

As far as a Cool Car Guy Cool Car Shot goes, I’m going to rate his truck five stars for being Extremely Cool.

***** – Extremely Cool

What To Do When The CarFax Report Is Wrong

CarFaxWe are starting to see Carfax is making a major advertising push these days telling people that if they buy a vehicle without a Carfax report that they are doomed to Automotive Dealer Hell.  Of course, how many people buy vehicles on Ebay and Craigslist now with no recourse like they have when purchasing from licensed professionals?  Carfax is a good resource for people, but it’s not the “end all, be all” and sometimes it’s actually wrong.  What? A third-party source being wrong?

Have you ever  seen an error on a credit report?  They happen all the time.  A Carfax report is like a credit report for your vehicle and sometimes they get inaccurate information or information that doesn’t tell the entire story.  I’ve seen vehicles running through the dealer auctions and online that had a clean Carfax that I looked over and had been in an accident.

In fact, a couple years ago, a friend of mine who works as an Auto Consultant bought a Hummer at the auction and it had a clean Carfax. He did a frame and mechanical inspection on the vehicle.  Sure enough, it had been in an accident. The individual seller who sold it to the dealership that ran it through the auction, didn’t want to take it back because it had a clean Carfax, but a bent frame is a bent frame.

Many dealerships in Colorado now have you sign a form that when you trade a vehicle you are still responsible for any issues that were not disclosed.  This is because so many people have tried to rip off dealerships over the years with faulty vehicles.  And you’re shopping for your vehicles from a private party to save money?  Good luck with that because if you think licensed salespeople will lie to you, don’t think for a minute someone trying to unload their used car won’t.  Which is why people work with me.

Carfax is a great tool for people to use, but be aware that you still need to check out a vehicle and make sure that it’s what it should be. On the flipside, I had a guy call me today, about his 2001 BMW 330ci that shows it has been in an accident when it wasn’t in an accident. Someone had smashed the back window and pulled the seal to get into the vehicle to steal the radio. Because it was reported to the insurance company, it was coded by Carfax as an accident, but that’s not the true story on the vehicle.

BMWUnfortunately, especially on highline vehicles like BMW’s, Audi’s, Lexus, Mercedes, Infiniti and others, a Carfax report showing an accident can be the kiss of death!  There are many reputable automotive dealers now that will not take a vehicle that doesn’t have a clean Carfax into their inventory.  This is because consumers are demanding to see these reports as Gospel and the automotive dealers don’t want to sell someone’s junk either.

However, what does an owner do when the information is not correct and suddenly they can’t unload their vehicle as a trade or sell it for market value because of an innaccurate third-party report?

The only thing they can do at this time is go to the Carfax Help Center and put in a request for their report to be repaired. When enough people start losing money because of these errors, like having errors on a credit report preventing you from getting financing, I foresee the government requiring Carfax and other automotive reporting agencies will have to give these away for free.  Probably once a year to the owners of vehicles, like a credit report, and be required by law to correct the errors in a timely fashion.

Until then, here’s the link to the Carfax Help Center if you need to put in a request for having your Carfax report repaired.

The Cool Car Guy Show – June 26th, 2009

StarbucksHey Cool Car Fans,

Hoss and I were at the Starbucks last Friday in Castle Rock and we recorded a live version of The Cool Car Guy Show. It’s a pretty good show. Hoss is an awesome co-host and I couldn’t do this show without himor you would be bored out of your mind just listening to me talk automotive news for 40 minutes. I actually downloaded it and listened to it on my iPod this week while I was out on a run. My wife thought that was kind of weird, but I needed to see if it was any good and it’s pretty cool.

I hope to catch Hoss tomorrow and see if we can record tomorrow’s show in the morning. I’m helping out with TheRock.org for the Day Camp with the kids and all week I’ve been doing kid’s events. Today, I was at WaterWorld and it was freezing with the weather, but we all had a good time with 170 wet elementary kids.

BMW M5

Tomorrow I’ll be driving the church van to Boondocks up off of 120th in the afternoon, along with three school buses descending on that amusement park.  Then tomorrow night we’re ending up in Monument with all the teenagers and adults to play broomball until Midnight and I’m the designated bus driver for the group, so that should be a good time. All in a day’s work for The Cool Car Guy.

On this episode we talked about a comparison out of MotorTrend Magazine between the BMW M5 and the Cadillac CTS-V and it made for an interesting way to start the program. We also talked about some of my stories from real life as The Cool Car Guy and my take on buying used cars. We also mentioned the upcoming Classic Car Show in Castle Pines Village on Saturday, July 11th from 3PM – 6PM that some of you in the area might want to check out.

The show is about 40 minutes long again and it’s pretty entertaining and informative. We try to have a good time doing the show and hopefully it comes through that we enjoy doing it.  If you need assistance getting a vehicle be sure and drop me an email or give me a call.

Click Here To Listen Now!

Cadillac CTS-VWe’re going to be creating the show on different days of the week at unique locations, but it was pretty fun at Starbucks since that place is a money machine with a constant flow of traffic, so you’re going to want to follow The Cool Car Guy on Twitter@coolcarguy or both Hoss and I on Facebook (Cool Car Guy) to find out where we’ll be on any given day. Tomorrow we’ll be at a Starbucks again, but I’m not sure if we’ll be in Castle Rock because I’m running with some buddies at 6:45AM tomorrow morning and it’s going to be a long day!

By the way, I got my wife Becky an Infiniti FX35 and I need to get some photos up here for people to check it out. I also got my Subaru with some new lettering on it and it seems to be pretty happy. I’ll try to get some updated photos up one of these days when my life slows down.

The Cool Car Guy Cancels His Trip To Steamboat Springs Marathon

Hey Cool Car Fans, 

Steamboat MarathonAs many of you who follow me on Twitter, Facebook and Goblin Network know I’ve been training for the Steamboat Springs Marathon that is this coming Sunday.  Unfortunately, last week after four days in a row of long runs, I came down with a serious case of bronchitis that had me laid up at home and in bed for a week.  I’m still struggling with this junk as I write this, so I won’t be able to run it now. 

It’s a very humbling experience when you get ill.  I have clients who have battled cancer and some who are battling that disease right now.  My heart goes out to them and running in races is one way that you can help support charities that are in the fight against diseases like cancer.  

It’s amazing how much you appreciate your health when you don’t have it.  I also believe that God sometimes allows sickness to strike us down to deal with our own self-love, to remind us of our frailty as human beings and to not get so caught-up in ourselves that we forget about others.  This isn’t always the case obviously since we live in a fallen world, but for Christians I think it is often true, since once you become a Christian nothing in your life comes to you without first passing through Divine Providence.  Maybe it’s just me, but I get very introspective when I’m sick and I think that’s the case for most people.  You really appreciate your health!  

I was talking with a friend and she told me about how a friend of hers had gone on vacation to Hawaii and while he was there he got what he thought was a cold, it turned into pneumonia and he died.  A reminder that your life can be taken from you at any moment and don’t test your body even if you think you can.

I recognize that writing about this on CoolCarGuy.com is not probably what many first time visitors would expect, but I try to be real with people in my business as well as my personal life.  Too much of our world today are sound bites or if you’re an active follower of Twitter and other social sites, much of what people say today is non-stop promotion without any reality attached.  In the end, none of those things matter.  I have yet to see a U-haul following a hearse to the cemetery.  

A friend of mine told me yesterday about how his father had left his brother an original 1968 Shelby that has only 60,000 original miles on it.  He told me that he was offered $180,000 for the vehicle from a man of means, who wanted to put it in his collection, but his brother turned him down.  He raised the offer to $200,000 and his brother still turned him down.  He said, “My Dad and my brother bought that car together and it’s one of the only memories that he has left of my Dad, so I don’t think he’s interested in selling it.”  Obviously not, but it drives home the point that there are some things in life that cannot be replaced.  In this case, the car is not a commodity that can be bought with a price tag, but a memory tied to an experience.  I thought that was pretty cool.

Life is short and we should enjoy the time that we have and not forget the millions of people in this world who are suffering. Missing this marathon is not the end of the world and I enjoy running, so I hope to be back out hitting the pavement again soon.  I’m considering the Denver Marathon later this year and this race supports a number of great charities.  I also may run the Georgetown Half-Marathon on August 8th, which I’ve ran several times before.  That’s a really fun run, if you’re thinking of getting into running consider that run as a good challenge.

Enjoy the weekend!  If you need assistance with buying, selling, trading or leasing a vehicle feel free to give me a call and I’ll make the time to help you out.

The Cool Car Guy Show – May 15th, 2009

FishCity GrillHey Cool Car Fans,

Last Friday, Hoss and I met for lunch at Fish City Grill at Park Meadows Mall and recorded The Cool Car Guy Show.

We talked about a number of issues, including Chrysler closing 789 dealerships with 12 closing in Colorado. We also talked to some interesting people while we were there and saw some very cool cars, such as a red hot Mercedes 4Matic and a Pink classic Ford Thunderbird.

Click Here To Listen Now!

We’re going to be creating the show on different days of the week at unique locations, like LODO’s, Starbucks, Fish City Grill and other locals, so you’re going to want to follow The Cool Car Guy on Twitter@coolcarguy or both Hoss and I on Facebook to find out where we’ll be on any given day. You never know where we might show up and at what time because our schedules are nuts!

Pink ThunderbirdToday, I’m off to deliver a 2007 Infiniti FX35 that I purchased yesterday at the Colorado Auction for a client with just 21,000 miles in mint condition, in a unique beryllium exterior color with a very cool “baseball glove” leather interior. It has navigation and is hard loaded, complete with the Infiniti “smart keys” for accessing the vehicle.

There are some crazy things happening in the automotive industry right now from government regulations since the Obama Administration decided to partner with Chrysler and GM to Kelly Blue Book and the NADA being completely out of whack with the marketplace.

Be sure and tune into The Cool Car Guy Show as Hoss and I discuss changes in the automotive industry. We’ve been goofing around quite a bit with the show, but we’re going to get a little better organized and start bringing you details on what’s happening in the very fluid automotive industry.

I will be back with a new podcast for The Cool Car Guy Show with Hoss this week sometime, so stay tuned.

If you’re thinking of calling me for a vehicle, don’t freak out about how busy I am because this is normal for me and that’s why people call me. If I didn’t know what I was doing it would be different, but I do this everyday, working with people to track down every make, model and price range. Give me a call or send me an email.
