SEMA. Nuff said. I’ll be reporting for Fast Lane Daily, signing books such as…er…"The Driver", making fun of my friend Ashley Van Dyke, and visiting old friends Brian Scotto from 0-60 Magazine. MUCH more to follow…

The first reviews of "The Driver" are coming in….and they’re good. REALLY good. Here are some more…
Fan of Zoolander? You don’t have to be to gawk at the shocking awesomeness of the Team Polizei "Polizia Stradale" M5 Remote Controlled Interceptor! Polizei Special Operations’ Chris Higgins spent nearly six months building it from scratch, and I was lucky enough to hold it in its protective case for just a few minutes before he spirited this priceless treasure away to his car once again. Higgins has promised a full set of pics within…hours, I hope.
The mysterious powers behind Wikipedia have judged me sufficiently "notable" for the Alex Roy wiki to remain. I’d love to make some corrections, but apparently they’re quite strict about self-editing.

The major press since over the last seven days:

The New York Times story.
The Jalopnik Editors’ witness accounts. The dissenter.

In case you missed it, here’s my interview about "The Driver" and "32 Hours, 7 Minutes" on one of my favorite shows - G4’s Attack of the Show.
For anyone awake at the ungodly hour of 8:15AM Sunday the 21st, I will be a guest on "Fox & Friends" to discuss "The Driver" and "32 Hours, 7 Minutes" - after which I will be returning home and going back to bed…
WARNING - VIDEO ON FOXNEWS.COM REQUIRES IE or FIREFOX…not SAFARI or CAMINO. (I know - don’t say it. I prefer Camino myself.)
UPDATE: I didn’t actually get on until 0937hr. I’ll post a video link as soon as Fox makes it available.
