THE AUTO ISSUE

In response to popular demand, Fly On The Wall will be adding an automotive column about the goings on in Lot S and beyond.

-This week’s Most Tricked Out Ride award goes to the silver Honda Accord with the four custom cup holders!

-We’ve seen some hot cars in the lot, but this week we had a true exotic! Fly On The Wall had to talk to a lot of experts and conduct extensive research to identify this dream machine.

Known as a “Chevy”, this chariot of the gods hails from a remote Canadian town named Detroit. Although popular in certain circles, Chevy sightings are very rare in Malibu. There have been rumors about them being seen occasionally on the Seaver campus, this is the first confirmed sighting in the GSBM parking lot.

-Pepperdine will begin offering a car detailing service next term. Located in lot T, “Academic Detailz” will offer full wax and detailing service during class hours. “We’ll be offering quick turnarounds,“ says founder and confessed car nut Philipe Chieu. “Students will be able to drop their cars off in the morning and have them back by the end of class.”

“I was going to enter it in the business plan competition, but Professor Morrissey and Diane Singel told me it was too hot an idea, and I that I should run with it now.”

“They weren’t kidding. I haven’t even started and I’m already booked solid for the first three months of ’08. And the phone is still ringing off the hook! It’s crazy! People are screaming about being on the wait list, but it’s first come, first serve, you know?”

“Well,” he added with a wink, “except for professors who offer preferential treatment.”

“Let’s just say I’m not too worried about grades next term.”

Phillip is already planning his next venture. “My next idea is to start a valet parking service for students called ‘WePark4U.’ It’s for people who want to be a CEO, or just treated like one.”
