🇺🇸 Memorial Day Weekend Shows 2026

iDSC Weekly - 5.20.26

Good morning,

You could say the official car show season is Memorial Day to Labor Day weekends. But in Southern California we have automotive awesomeness all year long.

I love cars. But it’s our great country that enables that love. Moreover it’s our military personnel who provide us with the USA. And this weekend we honor those who’ve given the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country. 🇺🇸

If your family member is one of those we honor this Memorial Day Weekend, then thank you for their service. God Bless America.

All the shows and news are linked below.

Drive on,

Delaying new tires is a mistake I made for too long. Especially with our nose-bleed gas prices and terrible road surfaces.
Fuel efficiency, smoother ride, quieter - all of it.
