Howdy,

Another week and a little more (feeling) of things opening up.  Fingers crossed it continues.

I hit a few cars and coffees last week.  On Saturday I returned to

Valencia's C&C

 for the first time in a while.  And what's cool is that a new one called

A Brunch of Cars

has launched just down the road.  Better yet, it starts up just as the Valencia C&C winds down.  So, it's easy to enjoy both without missing a thing!

Then on Sunday my son and I swung by the new 

Chihuahua Car Meet-Up

in Newport Beach.  Being on Balboa Peninsula you have lots to do and see before and after that C&C too.

Side note:

Thanks to everyone for writing in with news of events reopening and alerting me to new events.  I'll keep adding them to our

Events calendar.

Finally, if you have a question, comment, or anything to address.  Just hit reply and your email will route directly to me!

Drive on!
