Wednesday, 7/6/22

Good morning!

This Friday, July 8th, 2022 is officially National Collector Car Appreciation Day!    

In case you weren't aware, CCAD has been around since 2010.  It came to be when the US Senate passed resolution S. 513. 

And believe it or not, it had bi-partisan support.  That's right those Democrats and Republicans actually agreed on something!

But it's not really surprising.  Because cars connect us.  Literally, through taking us to see people in person.  And figurately through the common bonds, we share in our appreciation for them.

So this weekend go connect with fellow Southern California car-folks at one of the cool events listed below.

Drive on,

-T

P.S.

Camarillo has a CCAD

happening on Saturday.

P.P.S. Thanks for all the updates on events happening throughout SoCal.  Please keep them coming!
