Good morning,

If you're up for a mid-week cruise then you have a great opportunity to support the NHRA Museum.  Here's a link to their

Twilight Cruise's

starting up for the season.

That and all sorts of cool car shows and events are listed below.  Of course, with all the week's news too.

I think we've got all our promised iDriveSoCal hats sent out.  PLMK if I promised you a hat and you've not received it.  

Keep driving,
