Very Good Morning To You!

There are lots of happenings this weekend in the Southern California automotive scene.

La Jolla's Concours d'Elegance

will be a big draw, but so will the Motte Automotive Museum's

Big Barn Classic Car Show

 in Menifee.  But also the

Corn Feed Run Car Show

in Chino.

Although we can't forget the

Heartbeat Happening Show

in Valley Center, the 

Fabulous Fords Forever

in Irwindale, or so many others all listed below.

And if you're free next Tuesday, 4/26, there's a

Cruise-In in OC

you might like.

Have fun and be safe.

Drive on,
