Good morning Friends,

Happy Mid-January to you and yours!  I hope you're keeping warm (and dry)!

As always, cool car happenings are listed below.  Along with all the car and driving news if impact and interest to our community.

The weatherman (and women) are currently calling for a soggy Sunday.  With that in mind.  Don't forget all the

awesome automotive museums

we have throughout SoCal.

Drive on,
