Snap,

We're staring down the weekend again!  

So, the iDriveSoCal audience is split about 60/40 male to female...

• Guys - It's Valentine's Day Sunday - THIS Sunday.  (You're welcome.)   

• Gals - You're less likely to need the reminder.  (But you're welcome too.)

Because we're in California, and Newsom hasn't been recalled just yet, we don't have many options for going out.  But you can still take a romantic walk on the beach.  Go for a hike.  A bike ride or hey, a nice long cruise in the car! 

And, on that note, here's a cool option.  The Automobile Driving Museum IS hosting its Sunday Rides.  So,

this Sunday from 10A until 3P

you can ride in one of their classics with your sweetheart!  

Motor on,
