Are you going to nopi drift? Its going on this weekend. Im sure there is more stuff going on too.

Head to autobacs, its cool the first time.

[C. Senor]

^LOL at "it's cool the first time." very true...but there's a 711 over there and a mobil...no i kid. the staple center is nice just to hit it up see it have one of those bacon wrapped hotdogs they sell across the street. grauman's/kodak/pantageus theatre and the hollywood walk of fame and boulevard. universal city walk, the area where they have bb king's house of blue's. venice beach, melrose avenue, and sunset boulevard is nice to drive down...or just driving on PCH through malibu is nice. lol just noticed most things are in hollywood (area). hope you enjoy your stay while over here.

melrose, hollywood, autobacs (located more orange county bout 35min drive from LA)...peterson automotive museum (i enjoyed it)...it all really depends on where ur gonna be staying exactly. and ur mode of transportation when in town

[PITCH]

i'll have a rental car. I'll hit up autobacs for sure. I'm guessing it's not like the autobac's in Japan LOL. Not sure where i'll be staying yet but it will be in the LA area.

240sx bbq sunday to hang out at!

[Flybert]

Disneyland, Clubs/Bars in Hollywood, Santa Monica Beach/3rd St. Promenade, Huntington Beach, Restaurants/Bars in Pasadena, Dodger Game, Ghetty Museum, Long Beach Aquarium, Pinks Hotdogs, Venice Beach, Westminster for Pho, El Tepeyac in East LA for awesome mexican food, Manna in LA for good Korean BBQ, etc.

Don't waste your time going to car shops. So much better stuff to do with your time while you are out here.

I went there for the first time with the fam last year...I gotta say my favorite place I visited was santa barbara, Im sure thats out of your way but its so nice there....I was suprised how grimey hollywood was, but checked out places like rodeo drive to smell the money and santa monica was really nice

edit: and oh yeah theres a Bubba Gump shrimp on santa monica pier lol had no idea it was a real place lol

[azndoc]

Watts Towers. It's a historical spot. Go and check it out. It's cool for the first time too.

[ALTRNTV]

Check out the beaches (the nice ones, that is).

[Flybert]

Yeah, a day trip to santa barbara is cool. Go wine testing and walk around town. Awesome place to take your significant other. A good place to eat is the Shellfish Co.

[ALTRNTV]

One place you definitely have to go to is the corner of Slauson and La Cienega, in Inglewood. Be sure to wear red or blue, as it goes well with the surrounding scenery. Also, put your hand out and make finger gestures. The locals love that and will show their hospitality.

Be sure to take pics of how that goes!

On a serious note, Santa Barbara has one of the nicest and cleanest waters for a beach that tons of people go to. If I had a choice though, I'd go to Redondo Beach. Not too packed, but still very nice.

Hollywood Blvd- if you want some ass
Rodeo Drive- if you want some golddiggin' ass
Sunset Blvd- nice little drive

must be nice to live on the west coast, thats all i got to say

edit: well i guess not really...i dont think my 280 would pass emissions...lol, or my RX7...or my civic...

[Vision Garage]

Hahaha. You can always hit up GMR to turnbull.

[turboeic]

But he's in a rental car. Thats not fun.
Or you could go to Angeles Crest and just see everything at once
