Two weeks from today, Phoenix releases me into Los Angeles traffic. Consider yourselves warned.

I’ll be in Burbank signing Carstrology at Autobooks-Aerobooks.

LOCATION:

Autobooks-Aerobooks
2900 W. Magnolia Blvd.
Burbank, CA 91505

WHEN: Saturday, September 26

TIME: 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.

If you’re nearby, stop in for five minutes, stay for the conversation, or just come by long enough to say hello and confirm I actually made it and not eating lahmajoun at taron bakery.

No pressure. No guilt. Just leaving this here for the historical record.

Just books, cars, stories, laughs, and a few questionable observations about what your vehicle may be saying about you behind your back.

Two weeks. Burbank. The invitation is open. The excuse department is now officially closed.

This Labor Day, we celebrate the people who don’t just keep America working. They keep America moving.

The hands that build it. The minds that solve it.
The backs that carry it. And the people who get up every morning, show up, put in the work, and rarely ask for applause.

Because a nation isn’t built by slogans.
It’s built by its people.

Today, we honor the courage, sacrifice, integrity, and grit of the American worker.

Enjoy the day. Be grateful. Be safe.

HAPPY LABOR DAY 🇺🇸

And to everyone who still believes an honest day’s work means something…

God bless you, and God bless America. 🇺🇸

The most important part of car ownership has nothing to do with the car. I know, I know.

There is a moment in car ownership nobody warns you about. It is not the purchase. Not the repair bill. Not even the day something expensive decides to retire without giving two weeks’ notice.

It is the moment the facts in front of you no longer match the story you have been telling yourself. That is where things get interesting. Because sometimes the costliest thing parked in the garage isn’t the vehicle.

It’s our refusal to reconsider what we were so damn certain about. This article isn’t really about cars. Cars just happened to provide the crime scene.

Read it and then ask yourself one uncomfortable question: When the facts change, do you change with them... or hire yourself as the defense attorney?

The greatest skill in car ownership has nothing to do with knowing cars. It's learning to change our minds when the evidence changes.

LA, SHIFT HAPPENS.

I’m driving in from Phoenix with three books, one Sharpie, and several decades of evidence that your car knows exactly who you are.

Join me Saturday, September 26, at Autobooks-Aerobooks in Burbank for the signing of Carstrology, my third book in the Car Confidential series.

No pressure.
No roll call.

No Armenian family member will be stationed outside checking names.

But if you’re nearby, come say hello, share a laugh, and discover what your car, your ego, and your zodiac sign have apparently been discussing behind your back.

WHERE:
Autobooks-Aerobooks
2900 W. Magnolia Blvd.
Burbank, CA 91505

WHEN: Saturday, September 26

WHAT TIME: 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.

Come for the signing. Stay for the stories. Leave before I identify your personality by the way you backed into the parking space.

You know what scares me about car scams?

It’s not how clever the criminals have become.

It’s how predictable we still are. Give us a bargain, a deadline, an official-looking logo, and just enough panic, and suddenly common sense is in the trunk while emotion is driving.

I went looking for the anatomy of the scam. What I found was the anatomy of the person being scammed.

And that changed the entire conversation.

You may never look at “being careful” the same way again.

What Cars Teach Us About Life When We Finally Stop Talking About Cars People walk through my door, place a set of keys on the counter, and usually say some version of the same thing: “Something’s wrong. Tell me how bad it is.
