The feeling of air going through your hair, the rush of a turbo, and the force of taking a turn – ahh…the sensations that driving a car can give you. Don’t you just love ‘em?
Cars are such a big part of our lives, especially here in Orange County, that I’m really happy that we are a center for anything regarding the automobile – from being HQ to some car companies like Kia and Mazda, and to holding some great weekly events like Cars and Coffee.
Well, we have two more events …

During Earth Week 2009, Cal State Fullerton is hosting an Alternative Transportation Expo from today until Wednesday.

“The OC”
I’ve been living in Orange County for my whole life, more specifically Buena Park, near the OC/LA border.
