To sum up my trip to Cali I would have to say we had a sweet time. The cars out there were Pricey as all hell. Almost every car had something on it. I saw tons of DSM's out there and on the prowl! but I would have to say I noticed more high end racers out there then anything else. In my 5 days of driving all over southern Cali I saw 11 or 12 NSX's tons of Vipers and saw even 4 or so Ferrari's with most being 360 spiders. We had a 40th anniversary Ford slowstang v6 so most honda's tried to start something with us.


But if I have to see another debadged hondu with a fart cannon i will die. On the other side I played with some really sweet looking civics. I could not take many pictures due to the time I got the camera out and ready the cars were gone. I saw 1 Lambo going the same dirrection as me but doing 100+ and then 2 going the opisite way.

Down the street from where I was staying they have a 1/4 mile track with some real big racers named LACR (Los Angeles County Raceway). Due to my trip was so packed I did not get to the track to get pictures I will save that for my next trip! I did get to go to a place in south LA called SUPER AUTOBACS! This place is like heaven, or a autozone on CRACK. can you imagine going to a place and picking up used turbos, new turbos, carbon fiber hoods, any type of exhaust you want, or tire package you want and have them put in on the car in the same day. Pretty sweet! Here is a pic of the outside!


This place was definitly worth the 1.5 hour trip! Look at the link below for more Pics. I was warned twice for not being able to take pics and almost got kicked out. Damn flash!

Ohh and I stayed west of palmdale and just north of LA in the middle of the desert.

Not to be a wet blanket or anything but what exactly was the main purpose of this trip? Sounds like you had a great time. I've never been there but from what you said it makes me wanna go.

I went to cali to see some family and to take my girl to cali. She has never been west of MO!

I was out to Colorado Springs two years ago and it was similar to how you describe Cali. Lots of high end cars and lots of people with too much money.
