Default A week in Los Angeles

With no weekend I might be finished by Thurs and have Friday to play

What kind of Corvette treasures can I see after 5pm around LA?

I'm into jazz, blues, guns, food, vettes, did I mention food? Thai, Viet, bubba burgers, etc.

...or Carney's on Sunset just west of LaCienega. Best chili chesseburgers around, IMO! Plus, if you keep heading west on Sunset, it's a great cruise all the way to the beach. Then you just turn right at the ocean and head up PCH...the perfect afternoon!

Well, for the car, stop in at Corvette Mikes in Anaheim. He usually has some very nice cars to drool over.

Perry! We're all going to Edelbrock in Torrance Sat around 10am. Maybe we can go for a "quick" cruise after? :-)

Pacific coast highway from Santa Monica to Malibu. Mulholland is very nice for curves (only during daylight).

Gotta have Tommys. The chili can melt Zaino.

Next week. The flight leaves LAX on Sat at 10:30am. I gotta have a talk with the person who booked this trip. No time for fun except after work! Totally un-American

Any cruises Friday night?
