Good Thursday Morning,

Just a reminder to be safe on the roads.  Law enforcement is reporting lots of very successful DUI checkpoints this summer.  

Speaking of law enforcement, South Bay area PDs are getting together for a

catalytic converter etching event

.  If you know of one in your area, hit reply and I'll publish it to help spread the word.

And some great happenings this weekend - including the

Huntington Beach Concours d'Elegance!

Enjoy and be safe!

Best,
