Welcome to AUTOMOTIVE POP CULTURE DAILY!! So many cool things happening in the garage... LET'S GET TO IT! First up, Fireball busts out the PONTIAC AZTEK from BREAKING BAD and doubles down with a one-off Concept called the FIREBALL BLUEBIRD! This will be in the Garage for a LIMITED TIME ONLY!
DID YOU KNOW?? In "Breaking Bad," Walter White's iconic Pontiac Aztek was deliberately chosen by the show creators to represent his declining character, as the Aztek is widely considered one of the ugliest cars ever made; the show's creator, Vince Gilligan, specifically picked the car and even selected its distinctive "fern green" color to further emphasize this point. While considered an unattractive car before "Breaking Bad," the show's notoriety significantly increased the recognition of the Pontiac Aztek, making it a pop culture icon. Thus... SKETCHED!!
Also in today's HEISENBERG BLAST... A Vintage snap of Fireball, Daryl Starbird and GENE WINFIELD on set for MONSTER GARAGE, the SPACE SHUTTLE lands on PCH and a great Art Piece for MANIACS GARAGE!
