Good Morning Friends,

Veterans Day is Saturday and celebrations are happening everywhere!

All the shows and news are linked below.  Also, two parades looking for convertible classic cars to celebrate their Christmas parades:

• Rolling Hills - Celebrate South Bay style.

• Hollywood - Get your beautiful ride and smile on TV!

Most importantly

, a very heartfelt

thank you

to all our Veterans and their families.  Without you and them, the Great American Experiment is not possible. 

And while honoring all of our selfless service men and women let's be certain to share our gratefulness with our younger generations.  Teaching them our gratitude will help them begin to appreciate the unrepayable service our Vets have given this great country.

Keep driving and god bless,

-T
