Ok, I’m havin’ chocolate for breakfast. I can’t stand the coolness any longer…

Congrats, CHICAGO… You’ve been Wackied… @NHLBlackhawks #blackhawks #hockey
It’s no secret that I’m a Chicago Blackhawks fan as I spent my childhood hangin’ with Bobby Hull, but winning the Stanley Cup was a big treat recently. So… I decided to make them WACKY. It doesn’t get any better…

The Fireball ponders (and drives) the 2014 KIA CADENZA… @kia #cars #kia
Ok, I’m a bit confused…
Luxury cars are cars like BMW, Merc, Aston, Caddy and a few others. They aren’t a KIA, right?
Ok, wait a tick. What the heck is going on? Is someone re-badging these cars? Are they being built as a joint venture between two anonymous characters? Is someone trying to pull the wool over my head? (Wait, is that right?) Ok… stop EVERYTHING! Put down you double whopper with cheese and listen up!
KIA isn’t supposed to be making luxury cars! I mean… it’s a Kia… and they need to concentrate on building small effective city cars that run well and last forever. You don’t see them building MONSTER TRUCKS, do you??!! Why? Because Kia doesn’t make Monster Trucks. And THEY DON’T MAKE LUXURY CARS like this either!
So, what’s going on? This car, whatever it is, is a very serious european-esque vehicle. It’s like BMW in it’s quality, but rides solid like a Merc. Its fitment is top notch like an exotic, but it’s got a sound system like a muscle car where you can blast tunes, put on your specs and look cool. (Nobody really cares whether you look cool, btw.) It’s got tons of doodads like any hi-end expensive ride, yet they’re SAYING it isn’t. Okay, here’s the facts…
This 2014 KIA CADENZA (Balonie!) has a 3.3L V6 pumping 293hp and 255ftlb of torque, 19/28MPG, 19″ rims, Power Blah blah EVERYTHING, Infinity Sound, Sirius, Bluetooth, and comes in a host of colors including this Abyss Blue. Deep, sexy and bloooooo. I mean sext. As in.. Ok, I’m not gonna go there, but… it’s called a Cadenza.
What the heck is a Cadenza? I think it’s a word they use to distract you from finding out it’s actually a luxury car from… from… well, I don’t know where. But it CAN’T be a Kia! I mean, it was like a really nice ride. Smooth, comfortable, excellent fit & finish. Good power, although more would be appreciated. It’s just a beautiful car. I don’t know what else to say!
And if you can tell me what the heck Cadenza means, then I have a bajillion dollars I’ll give you. If… you have Paypal. 
Just sayin.’
The 2014 KIA CADENZA is definitely pulling the wool over our eyes. It’s a luxury saloon that beats all expectations and is as good as any of them out there. Only.. it’s only around $35K. WHAT’S UP WITH THAT, KIA!!?? I mean, you’ve gotta be kidding! Check out the shots below, but don’t be fooled!!
What’s up at THE FIREBALL PAD this week… Cars, Books, Events &…
As always, there’s weird things going on here at The Fireball Pad. You say… Weird? I say… how about this?
Kathie is building a PEANUT and POPCORN Costume for a Honda Commercial in our shop. BIG Peanut and HUGE Popcorn. We shoot in Long Beach on Tuesday, so if you happen to see them (and you’ll be rubbing your eyes at what you’re seeing), then give us a wave. No, I’m not giving out bags of buttery flavored carmel corn no matter HOW hard you ask.
CONFIRMED! Signing at ComicCon in San Diego on the 20th of July. The only Cosplay for me will be my red shoes.
CONFIRMED! I’ll be doing another signing at BARNES & NOBLE in Woodland Hills on August 24th. Doin’ a Wacky Ride with the kiddies, so if you have a kid, want a kid or act like a kid… then join us. Details coming soon.
CONFIRMED! Looks I’m the official host for World Class Motoring’s WORLD CLASS AUTOMOTIVE & FILM FESTIVAL in Monterey for the Pebble Beach Concours. Don’t tell anyone. Press Release coming along with a full court press.
Driving the Chrysler 200 this week until Monday, to which it gets swapped for the 2013 RAM 1500. Small becomes MASSIVE.
PACIFIC RIM opens Friday, so I’ll be checking that out along with an event with the Motor Press Guild.
Reading… for the 20th time… Florence Scovell Shinn’s THE GAME OF LIFE AND HOW TO PLAY IT. So awesome…
Watching… Season 2 of FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS. Netflix it, even if you don’t like football.
