I wonder what the drive events will be this year. I did like that driving one from Toyota last year where they let us drive the Tundra, Venza, Yaris, and Sequoia iirc

I'll be there Friday, but "stuck" with my folks. Mom is ready for a new RX so I have my work cut out for me explaining all the competing models.

If you want to go to N&S's prior to the LA Auto Show, call me when you're heading on out.

I may take the motorcycle instead of the car to kill downtown traffic.

Excited for the show. I'm gonna bring a tripod to make the most of my camera this time

Still debating on the Friday Night Meet though, I'll probably break off after the show and go eat with whoever wants to eat lol...

The woman isn't going to be back from class until after 4. I'll give you a call when we're closer to downtown to see if its even feasible to make it.

Taking photos on the first day is like trying to walk on lava with no shoes. Good luck on getting any shots.
