San Marino, Dana Point, San Diego, Olvera, Santa Barbara, and Cars Everywhere Between! 🚗🎥 🏆️

iDSC Weekly - 8.20.25

Good morning,

I hope your summer is winding down magnificently! And I don’t know about you, but mine feels like it’s flown by.

Halloween stuff has been in stores for a few weeks now and I’m sure radio stations, begging for listeners, will be flipping to 24/7 Christmas music any day now. (Kidding - sort of. BTW, I love Christmas music!)

Anyway, we’ve got another massive week/end of automotive happenings. All linked below, with the latest news, and other interesting car and driving stuff.

So, get out and enjoy the community! 😃 

Drive on,
