Drive by shootings in south central if you are feeling brave.

Go check out the Peterson musuem on Wilshire. No Buicks but some awsome cars anyways.

Go see my cousin in inglewood please:biggrin::biggrin: SOCAL is pretty cool, been there awhile ago and I would definatley go back. The smog is pretty bad though. Go to the hollywood walk of fame, eat at roscoes house of chicken and waffles, do a bit of overpriced shopping in hollywood, visit the bank that where the hollywood shootout took place, (I did) If you go to compton, AKA CPT/Hub city go to randy donoughts. There are some good places to look for parts as well in carson city.

Also try going to the mullholland hills for a little suspension testing and hiking.

Donut Derelicts is kool, but Cars & Coffee in Irvine is better.
Google "Cars & Coffee - Irvine" for location.
about 20 mins from HB.

If you schedule ahead and are available midmorning for a 3 hour tour that will blow you away, check out the Nethercutt Collection in Sylmar. The heir to Merle Norman Cosmetics has amassed a collection of 'everything' you would not believe. Prolly 150 cars from 1895 to 1930's and they are just the tip of what's in the ten story museum Pipe organs, time pieces, grandfather clocks, Fabrige Eggs, George Washingtons desk for goodness sake! It's endless. Reservations are mandatory but it was free when I took the tour 6-8 years ago.

See ya at cars and coffee Gary, lets park the black cars together

 

[Gary Wells]

Alan: See you at Cars & Coffee, I'm generally there about 6:00 AM or so, I generally park about 2 rows back from the front entrance to the parking lot. If you look for a black turbo Buick, you might be a while finding me, Mines white, like Casper, the friendly ghost.
