Are any of you going to this? It's starting to sound like all of you posers are going to be busy with your diapers waxing your cars. What's up with you wine and cheese guys? Get off of your cans and get over to this show.
What is up with you guys? |

Strother MacMinn, Peter Brock, Chuck Pelly, Jack Telnack, J Mays, Larry Shinoda, Wayne Cherry, Grant Larson, Chris Bangle, Craig Durfey, Ken Okuyama, and Shiro Nakamura, are among the many well-known graduates of this internationally known institution.

Does anyone know the date of this years gathering of the Exotics car show at Art Center is this year? It took place in May last year and was a great show.
Thanks for your feedback.
