Good morning SoCal Car Guys and Gals,

Halloween is tomorrow.  Be careful for revelers (young and old) stumbling around in costumes with limited visibility!  

But all the Trunk Or Treat Car Shows have passed.  Now it's the food drive and toy drive combination season.  So if you're going to car shows over the next couple of months.  Toss some new toys in the trunk!

All those shows and more are linked below.  Along with the news I've curated for you.

Keep driving,

-T

P.S. Two notable shows.  Not featured below.  But deserve extra attention.

Day Of The Dead Car Show

in Jurupa Valley.  And the

Las Vegas Concours
