Great morning to you!

Wow, dem gas prices... no relief in sight and lots of groups none-too-pleased about it.  Those stories and lots more are linked below.

But, we still love driving here in Southern California.

And there are lots of shows to drive to this weekend.  All of those are linked below too.  

Finally, my thanks to all of you who've shared car show and event info our calendar was missing.  Please keep it coming!

Drive on,
