What are you going to do on Cinco de Mayo if you live in Southern California? Hell! You have multiple options with 3 car shows below! Best of all, they are all free! Looks like there is a $10 parking/entrance fee at the Auto Club Speedway – but entering the car meet is free. Where are they? This is the cool part, because they are geographically very far apart, so everyone will be able to drive to a car meet that is relatively close to their homes – Torrance, Anaheim and Fontana. Those locations basically surround downtown Los Angeles, and one of those meets should be close all car enthusiasts!

From the west side, Relaxin in SoCal will be held in Torrance. There’s going to be a lot of custom cars from every genre and model out there. Also, a special appearance by Dramarama, as they sing favorite songs from the 80s(?). I did a google search and hey, what do you know, I’ve heard their songs before, I’ve been a fan without knowing it!

Check out the car pictures from the Pre-Autocon car meet!

I was hungry and wanted to see a car meet. So I decided to go to K1 Anaheim for the Pre-AutoCon meet on Saturday and just have a relaxing time driving down there and get some lunch at one of the food trucks. This is why I love southern California. Practically every weekend, there’s a car show or car meet somewhere. Most often, there’s at least one food truck to wet one’s appetite… and buy a bottle of water if you forgot to bring one of your own!

Take a look at The FWY Series car meet gallery photos!

I was at the FWY Series car meet held at Toyota Pasadena over the weekend, where I saw an entire parking lot jammed full of modified cars and a groups of guys just hanging out under the 85+ degree weather. Yea. it was hot. Got sunburned even after I had lotioned myself up before driving down to Pasadena. It was all in all a good day as I went to The Habit where I ate a burger and a lot of water and Coke. Oye, I bought a Panasonic LX7 a few days ago when it was under $300 at Amazon. This was the first time I used it out in the field and will be using it more often in future outdoor car meets. The pictures look more than decent even though there isn’t much bokeh. Still need to get more in touch with the features. I’d like to get to the point where my hands naturally know what to do and where to go without consciously thinking about it.
