    From what I could tell, pretty serious one-car accident on PCH / bayside in Newport. An original blue Shelby Cobra careened into a midget pillar at the driveway to Newport Auto Center and possibly rolled.

    About 1pm...12/30/08

    I wish for everyone involved to be OK. With the good, comes the bad unfortunately. Life happens daily, and sometimes quickly, so I suggest never taking for granted each breath you take.

    My dad also said there was a pretty serious accident this morning around 1am (after NYE) on Bayside. Hope no one was hurt.

    Yep, that's the guy. When I saw it parked in the Fry's parking lot, he had a burnt cigar butt in the ashtray. I'll try to talk to him the next time I see him. It was funny, I waited in the Fry's parking lot for him to start the car up so I could hear it, and he was having trouble getting it started. At that point, I was pretty sure it was real. ;)

    Also, Red 355 spider in Redondo Beach this afternoon, license plate "A POS 4RE" - love it!! Does that belong to anyone on this site?

    Why the plate? POS can't possibly mean what I think in this instance. And you're a gardener?

    I can't really tell if you're joking or not, but either way - nice 355! Hope to see you around the area again sometime.

    Hello guys!!!
    I need some help ...
    I am planning to take my girls to Disney Park in California in February.
    Could you help me finding some nice hotels around that area without beeing too expensive?

    Hollywood and Beverly Hills are very far from Disney ?
    What else can we visit around there ?

    Thanks for all your help

    Check out Ayres Hotels, specifically their Anaheim location. There is probably closer, but you get the perfect balance of luxury with budget pricing.

    Beverly Hills is better off visiting for a whole day, than to trek around from there. Most of your destinations will be closer to the beach. I recommend Huntington Beach if you've never been, then head down PCH towards Dana Point. Driving around Santa Monica pier area and Malibu / PCH are worth exploring too. The LA guys can offer more specifics, but I always enjoy driving those area.

    That is a really nice inventory. Despite everything else, I love that Black on Red F430 Spider and 612.

    That's sad, no love for that car. Of course Jason could have it looking fresh in a couple of days. Maybe longer to make the wheels nice. What is on the roof??
