Hola Amigos y Amigas,

And that's most of the Spanish I know.  :0)  I hope this finds you well.

We made it to February with the new administration in the White House!  Personally, I've pretty much turned off the news.  And apparently, a lot of iDriveSoCal readers have too.  Because our audience and readership keep breaking records.  So,

thank you!

But hey, it's not like I'm serving up a bunch of ads.  My content is pretty straight-forward.  I love cars.  You love cars.  I give you news about cars.  You consume it.  Nice-and-tidy relationship. :0)

And optimism is growing about more car events actually happening here in SoCal!  Things are opening up!

Drive on with a smile on!
