The Cool Car Guy Meets Christina Schulz - Vemma Independent Distributor

The Cool Car Guy | Toyota | Wednesday, March 12th, 2008

Hey Cool Car Fans,

Earlier today, I had the opportunity to meet a very cool person who I hope will become a future client of mine. Her name is Christina Schulz and she’s a full-time financial planner and a part-time Independent Distributor with a Network Marketing company called Vemma.

Christina and I met recently at the 24 Hour Fitness in Littleton when I went in to do a run and I decided to try a shot of this Vemma juice she was promoting. It’s a pretty cool product and when I met with her today, she gave me a 30 day supply and asked me to test it out for her. I personally take a number of nutritional supplements, especially now that I’m 40, and I had informed her that I was training for the San Diego Rock & Roll Marathon on June 1st and she said this product would be a good add on for my training program.

It turns out that her husband is a runner and he’s going to be running in The Denver Marathon later this year. I ran that as a relay participant last year with Jim Reitz and some friends from JFR and we had a good friend Kerwyn Hawkins who completed the full marathon last year. By the way, it was freezing.

Anyway, we got to talking about cars and I got such a kick out of her history of cars she owned that I had to share the details on CoolCarGuy.com and see if any of these vehicles ring a bell with our Cool Car Fans. By the way, I currently have about 3,500 unique visitors a month reading The Cool Car Guy site, so if you’re a frequent reader - you’re not alone. Okay, so check this list out.

  • 1987 - She owned a 1981 Chevy Chevette (One of Time Magazine’s Top 50 Worst Cars ever)
  • 1989 - Moved up to a 1985 Oldsmobile Wagon (Oldsmobile has since departed)
  • 1992 - 1992 Plymouth Reliant K Car (Thank’s for the memories Lee Iacocca)
  • 1993 - 1993 Honda Accord Wagon (Was stolen and gutted in 1997, she lived in NYC, go figure)
  • 1997 - 1993 Toyota Camry (She replaced this one with another 93′ Camry)
  • 1998 - 1993 Toyota Camry (She still drives it today, with 186,576 miles on the odometer)
  • 2002 - 2003 Cadillac (She earned a pink Caddy with Mary Kay Cosmetics, but that’s another story)
  • Okay, so as she put her list together I was cracking up that she was still driving the 1993 Camry with 186,576 miles, but maybe it was so funny to me because another financial planner, who is a client of mine, and who I had on The Cool Car Guy Show not long ago, Adam Makkai, always drives his cars until they have around 200,000 miles on them as well. It must be part of the financial planner training system to be sure and see how many miles a financial consultant can get out of a vehicle until they have to get rid of it. One thing is for sure, they both definitely get the miles out of their vehicles!1993 Camry

    If you or someone you know is interested in trying her product Vemma, like I’m doing right now, be sure and check out Christina’s Vemma site for more information. She told me that she has a number of people who are working the Vemma business with her and making a great second income and full-time income. My daughter Bianca and I both tried the product tonight and it tastes really good for a liquid nutritional product.

    In the meantime, I’ll keep you posted if I talk her into letting go of that 1993 Toyota Camry and upgrading to the modern age of total vehicle satisfaction. I see a low mile 2007 or 2008 Toyota Sienna in her future, pre-owned of course for maximum cost savings, maybe with leather seating?

    Hey Cool Car Fans,

    On The Cool Car Guy Show yesterday on CastleRockRadio.com I had my friend from The Chamber of Commerce Castle Rock Leads Group Brent Cain, of Washington Mutual of Castle Rock Wamu.com.

    Brent talked about how he is driving a Toyota Prius and how much he loves his new vehicle, along with all the money on fuel he is saving. The Toyota Prius is without a doubt the most popular fuel efficient hybrid in the marketplace today. For some time, the average time that a Prius was on the lot of a dealership was just 10 days and Brent can attest to why they have been so popular. 2008 Prius

    We also talked about Brent’s personal life and how he’s in a band called MoTrucker Rocks.

    The Cool Car Guy Show - Adam Makkai Mutual Service Corporation

    The Cool Car Guy | Cool Cars, Toyota | Wednesday, February 20th, 2008

    Castle Rock Radio

    Hey Cool Car Fans,

    On The Cool Car Guy Show yesterday on CastleRockRadio.com I had my friend and client Adam Makkai, of Mutual Service Corporation.

    Adam is very conservative when it comes to cars and he gets more mileage out of a vehicle than anyone I know. His Honda Accord that he traded in with me had 200,000 miles on it and his Toyota Solara that he replaced it with already has almost 100,000 miles. Of course, for Adam that’s just getting broken in. 2008 Solara

    We also talked about automotive news and the state of the economy. Adam explained how many people make the mistake of having car payments that don’t fit their budget, along with not paying off debt before adding credit cards and other expenses. Adam consults with people on how to invest in their future and how by leveraging real assets someone can use their appreciating assets to fund nice things like cool cars without giving up their lifestyle or the assets themselves. He definitely knows his stuff when it comes to maximizing a return on investment and how to get the most bang for the buck when it comes to vehicles.

    It was great having Adam on the show and if you want to reach him, you can find him by clicking on his name Adam Makkai and send him an email.

    Be sure and tune into the show tomorrow from 10AM - 11AM MST on CastleRockRadio.com.

    Hey Cool Car Fans,

    On The Cool Car Guy Show last Thursday CastleRockRadio.com I had Mr. John Sanders from Sanders Enterprises Information Technology Management Consulting as a special guest on the show.

    John shared with our listeners some of the vehicles he has owned over the years, he also talked about his current vehicles. John gave us his opinion on the Honda Pilot that he drives compared to the Toyota Sequoia that his wife drives and he said that he things the Pilot is a much better value for the money. He claims that he gets 28 mpg in the Pilot and nowhere near that in the Sequoia. 2008 Honda PilotThe Toyota is much more money, but not as much value.

    John also talked about how he worked with a number of automobile manufacturers over the years and gave us some of the inside scoop of his take on the automobile industry. We will have to see if we can get John back on the show again down the road to talk more about the automotive industry. It was a great show and if you’re thinking Honda or Toyota, according to John, it’s Honda all the way.

    Cool Car Guy - “Cool Car Shot” - Future Toyota Alessandro Volta

    The Cool Car Guy | Cool Cars, Toyota | Thursday, May 31st, 2007

    Hey Cool Car Fans,

    Check this one out!

    Toyota Volta 5
    Here are some cool photos of a Toyota future concept vehicle called the Volta. The Toyota website at Toyota.com describes this unique vehicle as follows…

    Toyota Volta 6
    “In 1800, Alessandro Volta arranged zinc and copper discs in a column and invented the battery. 204 years later, Toyota has electrified automotive history with the first high-performance hybrid, named in his honor. The Giugiaro-designed carbon-fiber body seats three people abreast and features “drive-by-wire” controls, allowing you to position the steering wheel and pedals in front of any one of them. And the Volta’s 408-hp Hybrid Synergy Drive® (a 3.3-liter V6 with an electric motor for each axle) not only delivers 435 miles on a 13.7-gallon tank, but 0-60 acceleration in a mere four seconds. Somewhere, Count Volta is smiling.”

    Toyota Volta 7
    This is definitely a vehicle that Toyota should look at bringing to market. All Toyota has to do is look at the incredible success of the new Tesla vehicle that has yet to go into full production. I doubt that Toyota will do it since they are a bit too conservative, but I think that Toyota would get a great response with this baby like Tesla has been getting. Of course, the Tesla costs less than 2 cents per mile to operate since it’s 100% electric and the Volta is still a Hybrid.

    Cool Car Shot - 2006 Toyota Prius

    The Cool Car Guy | Cool Cars, Toyota | Friday, September 8th, 2006

    Hey Cool Car Fans,Prius 1

    Here’s a “Cool Car Shot” of a blue, 2006 Toyota Prius that I delivered to a happy CoolCarGuy.com client last month.

    Julia emailed me these photos and she loves her new Prius. She’s getting fantastic gas mileage with this Toyota hybrid, plus a great tax deduction to boot.

    There has been a six month waiting list for this car at most Toyota dealerships in Denver. Julia called me from California and I was able to deliver her one here in Denver in less than two weeks! Needless to say, she was glad she called “The Cool Car Guy” to get her cool new vehicle.

    Prius 2There is an interesting article in USA Today about how people are modifying their Prius models to get unbelievable gas mileage. Click on the link above to read the articles about plugging in the hybrids for better gas mileage.

    A recent post on a popular website by another Prius owner wrote the following about his family’s experience with this unique vehicle:

    My wife has been driving the Prius back and forth 160 miles a day to work. She puts on 4K a month. She drives 95% highway miles and she has been getting 55-57 mpg when the weather got nice and 47-49 when it is colder. You can’t beat that at $3.00 for a gallon of gas! I am a big guy (6′4″, 300 lbs) and I fit just fine in this car. I can even sit in the back if I have to (my hair just brushes the top). Go Toyota!”

    What do you think?

    2002 Toyota MR2 Spyder Now Available

    The Cool Car Guy | Cool Cars, Toyota | Wednesday, January 25th, 2006

    02MR2I have a client that has just put her black 2002 Toyota MR2 for sale. Here’s a great opportunity to pick up a classic little sports car at a great price.

    Review: The MR2 didn’t changed much since its rebirth after a five-year break. In 2001 Toyota added leather as a $660 option. Everything else came standard and it was loaded with power windows, door locks, AM/FM/Cassette/CD sound system, alloy wheels, tilt steering, wind deflector, glass rear windows with defroster, and a leather steering wheel.

    The Spyder came in seven colors, with either black or red cloth seats, or tan leather interior. This model is black with the tan leather.

    All MR2s come with the same engine as was used in the Celica GT, a 1.8-liter, 16-valve four-cylinder, with variable valve timing and electronic management technology like that in its high-end Lexus family member.

    The engine’s 138 horsepower moves the 2200-pound car great. It can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in a little less than 7 seconds. Toyota’s VVT-i engine used a variable-valve timing, but it doesn’t generate a big surge of power when it switches to the high-power cam profile. This is good in a small engine, because it means the powerband feels broader. The maximum torque of 125 foot-pounds hits at 4400 rpm, so you have to be in the correct gear to maximize performance.

    At 70 mph, this little sports car will hum along at 3500 rpm, happily and with no significant vibration. Like the Mini-Cooper of today, you will want to make sure that you keep the right tires on, and at the right pressure, for the best driving experience.

    The car handles great and is a blast to drive. The MR2 Spyder is a great little sports car with impressive technology in the engine, chassis and gearbox. Its acceleration is exciting because its a light weight vehicle, yet the ride is solid and admirable. It is comfortable and convenient, but its mission is not misguided by luxury. The convertible top can be lowered quickly, so you can fully enjoy the top-down driving experience, or get it up fast if the weather changes on you. And it did all this for a reasonable price.

    Now you can own a car that is soon to become a classic, the Toyota MR2 Spyder with under 40,000 miles at a very reasonable sports car price.

    Estimated 2002 MSRP Price : $24,500

    Miles: 36,220
    Transmission: 5 speed manual
    Body Style: 2-Dr Convertible
    Engine: 1.8L Inline 4
    Drivetrain: Rear Wheel Drive

    Client’s Price: CALL!
