Good morning Friends,

Staying dry is going to take some effort in SoCal for a while.  (Although, the weatherman is currently saying Friday and Saturday will give us a break.)

Lucky for the

Grand National Roadster Show

this weekend it's all indoors.  A great museum to enjoy along with a hot rod-themed weekend is the

Lions Automobilia Museum

.

Automotive artistry is on full display at both locations.  And all senses come alive.  Especially the sweet smell of fossil fuels in the air!

If you've never been, go.  And make sure to bring representatives of younger generations with you.

Keep driving,

-T    

P.S. Speaking of hot rods, our awesome partner of many years,

Ontario Volkswagen

started as a hot rod shop!
