Good morning,

Summertime car show season has officially arrived!

So there are lots of additional automotive events happening across Southern California.

That includes smaller weekly, bi-weekly and monthly gatherings.  As well as annual shows.

All of them are opportunities to get out and see cool cars.  But also connect with your fellow Southern Californians!  Meet some new people and exercise your smile. 😃

So please keep these two things in mind:

1. Have fun and be safe!

2. Let me know about anything happening that ought to be shared with our community.

News from the past week and events coming up are linked below.

Keep drivin',
