Good morning!

We've been sending out a lot of iDriveSoCal hats.  (If I still owe you one shoot me a note.)

We'd love to see you rocking your hats out and about at car shows and events this summer.  Send those pics!  Please!

And while you have your camera's out.  Don't forget the whole month of June we're accepting patriotic car pictures.  You, your loved ones, your loved wheels, your loved pets - all rocking red, white, and blue!

Cool shows are happening this weekend.  The season is truly heating up.  Those are linked below with news and a contest.

Drive on,
