I'm on the Left Coast This Week

I forgot to mention that I'm on the West Coast this week. Flew in to Long Beach, CA yesterday and am staying in San Pedro. I'll be in Beverly Hills and Hollywood tomorrow. If anyone wants to do lunch or a cold one, please let me know. I have a Hyundai rental car and it's killing me!

did you get the insurance on it?

I hear rental cars are the best off road vehicles.

It could be dangerous being out there in car land, Kevin. Southern California seems to have the best vintage cars of anywhere.

Are you still going to be in town tomorrow (Thursday)?

I could swing by and take you out to lunch.

Well, if I HAD been considering the purchase of a car from Enterprise's used car lot, I would not be any longer!

Take a drive down through Beverly Hills on Wilshire. There's always lots of nice cars in the showrooms.

Don't miss more of the the same on Sunset Blvd, such as on JEM Motors, in Hollywood and all the way to the West Hollywood and Santa Monica area.



Brabus (Claus Ettinger, CEC Motors is on Santa Monica Blvd in Beverly Hills, too. Here is the showroom when I went there in August












Santa Monica Pier is at the end of the beach, too

I just got back from a week in Laguna Beach. You would hate it.
