🚦Fall Festival Car Parties, Trunks 'N Treats Are Everywhere!

iDSC Weekly - 10.22.25

Good morning,

Our little community keeps growing! You are now part of a 21,000 member car-loving group. And, that’s cool. 👍️ 😎 👍️ 

Car Clubs: Free listing on iDSC
With that in mind we’re adding another feature to iDriveSoCal, Car Club Listings.

Because I’m always receiving inquires from your fellow automotive enthusiasts. Whether they’re newer car guys/gals or, new to the SoCal region. They want to know what clubs are around that they might want to join.

So, this is a long-time coming. But we’re finally ready to make it happen. There’s no charge. And you’re club can be a brand new start-up or having been around for decades. Either way, you’re welcome to submit your car club here.

Finally, you can find all the shows and news of the week below. We’re rolling up on the biggest weekend of the year for Trunk or Treats and October Fests.

Keep driving!
