Good morning!

It's beginning to look a lot like...

As an adult, I didn't care too much for the holidays.  But as a Dad, wow!  It's like I'm a kid again.  Love it!

And as a car guy reporting on what's happening in the SoCal scene.  'Tis the Toy Drive Car Show Season!

So, if you're heading to a show.  And you're able to help.  Please consider donating a new unwrapped toy at a local show.

Keep driving,
