Another AMVIV is in the can and, as usual, I had a blast! They say the numbers were down- vendors, participants, etc. In my opinion the event was a bit more “intimate” as a result. It will be interesting to get actual figures in the next few days but despite this fact, I thought it went well!
With seven hours of video to go through, we should have a good number of episodes coming your way in the next week or so. For now, enjoy a few photos from the iPhone, in no particular order!
Joan grabs a quick interview with one of the students of the Phil Wicks Driving Academy at AMVIV 2008. Leave a comment and tell us what you think of the format options.

Filed under “Common Sense”, Sub-Section “Denial”, CNNMoney.com tells it like it is with their June 4th article, “6 Ways You’re Wasting Gas”.
You already know what it says. Sometimes it takes an objective party to bring it home. Here are a few of the six that take all the fun out of driving:*
1. Racing away from green lights
That pedal under your right foot is called the “gas pedal” for a good reason. The more you press down on it, the more gas you’re pumping into the engine.2. Racing up to red lights
When you’re driving down the street, and you see a light red light or stop sign up ahead, you should lay off the gas sooner rather than later.3. Confusing the highway with a speedway
Even if it doesn’t involve hard acceleration, speeding wastes gas.

A Carbon Footprint is a measure of the impact human activities have on the environment in terms of the amount of greenhouse gases produced, measured in units of carbon dioxide. A Carbon Footprint is made up of the sum of two parts, the direct / primary footprint and the indirect / secondary footprint.
1. The primary footprint is a measure of our direct emissions of CO2 from the burning of fossil fuels including domestic energy consumption and transportation (e.g. car and plane).
2. The secondary footprint is a measure of the indirect CO2 emissions from the whole lifecycle of products we use – those associated with their manufacture and eventual breakdown.

We were just about to unleash “Episode Six: The Chip Foose Interview” on y’all in true HD thius weekend, when we ran into a serious of glitchs based on a lack of available hard drive space on our servers. Yes, I know- totally lame.
We finally got the episode up, but am now looking into how to up the storage we have have, or switch hosting companies all together. Hence the short delay. Look for shiny new episodes to knock your socks off in multiple formats soon, including H.264, AppleTV, and HD (That’s “high-definition” for all you under the bridge).
Don’t forget that you can follow the progress of Motorkult TV on our blog, website, and now, at everyone’s favorite hang out, MySpace! (MySpace.com/MotorKultFriends)
See you next time on Motorkult TV!

Yesterday I got an email from a follower (yeah, I think I’m goin’ there) with a simple question:
It made me realize we need a monthly email newsletter! Here’s my response, which is sort of our first newsletter/update:
Hey_______. Good to hear from you. Thanks for asking about the show. I’m feel like a proud papa! In short, Motorkult TV is coming along rather nicely! We’re building a pretty good team as people I know and trust are finally jumping on board. A new website is being developed and we’re following all the great tips we picked up at PNME. Episode Four posted this past weekend and an interview with Chip Foose is being edited as we speak. The new camera gear really puts the show in a different league and we’re polishing up all aspects of production to better reflect the “premium content” we hope to offer. (Can you tell I’m excited?) We were planning on going to the Drifting Championships in Irwindale this weekend but got denied from their PR Department.
We’ve still got some surprises up our sleeves though!
I’m regretting sleeping through my Marketing courses in college- I’m really struggling with getting the word out (that, and having a day job *and* grad school) but all in time, as they say. Over all, things are looking really good- I’m super excited about this and we will soon have
a short backlog of quality content! Again, thanks for asking!
