Good morning,

We have a 'big-ole' list of cool car shows happening this weekend throughout beautiful-sunny Southern California!  All of those are listed below.

And craziness in the news headlines of all things car-related continues. 

For example; the US govt' is doing all it can to get us to buy EVs.  Meanwhile, EV start-ups are laying off workers and states are preparing for electricity outages this summer!?

It kind of feels like Abbott & Costello's 

Who's On First.
