Grand Prix Tix R How MUCH?! | Other Options

April 06, 2022

Good morning!

You MUSK Be Kidding!

Boy that Elon... just doesn't stop making headlines. Now he's

bought nearly 10% of Twitter!

Just last week

Tesla announced another stock split

, the second in as many years.

To be clear, I'm not a Musk fanboy. It's just impossible to not recognize his accomplishments. As I summarized in

a newsletter last December

So, it's likely that 'free speech advocate' will be added to his ever-growing list of titles. Because he's been a highly vocal critic of Twitter censorship.

And check out this decades-old news report as a

. Media savvy even back then, he leveraged that photo-op into promoting another company he co-founded - that became Paypal.

More stories on Musk, and his outspoken Mom, are linked below!

Weekend Events

Also linked below are all the auto events this weekend.

That includes the Long Beach Grand Prix. But we don't know much about it because our media access was denied this year.

They said space was too tight and iDriveSoCal's audience too small. In fact, they wouldn't even give us a promo code to offer you a discount on tickets.

It seems the Grand Prix doesn't care about us (6,000) local car guys and gals always on the lookout for what's happening in the SoCal automotive scene each weekend.

I guess the Grand Prix is focusing on out-of-towners. And great for them! Let's hope those out-of-towners bring lots of revenue to our small businesses and taxes to our local governments!

So, my advice is to

skip the Long Beach Grand Prix this year

. As they've pointed out,

space is too tight

. Plus, most single tickets are over $100 - even over $1,000!

Almost every other event listed below is totally free

. Find a few and have a great weekend!

Drive on,
