Welcome to '21!

After last year, we might be expecting 2021 to be a bit quieter.  But yesterday's events in Washington D.C. don't seem to suggest that will be the case.

Back here in SoCal spiking COVID cases have officials calling for the return of the

USNS Mercy Red Cross hospital ship

.

But there are good signs for us auto enthusiasts.  Shows are being rescheduled from last year.  Our regular cars and coffee meets are going strong and new ones are popping up.

Hey, here's an idea, how about a bunch of car guys and gals run for various offices?  I'm quite certain we could do a far better job of running things. :0)

Drive on,
