Default Los Angeles car scene

Hi Guys,

I have scored my self 5 days in LA in July to do as i please. I have a few things in mind to do whilst there (i have been there twice before so i have done the tourist things), but what i was wondering was what the car scene is like? Ill be there July 7th to the 12th, and will have a car to drive around.

I am thinking ill go for a drive to Arizona (Phoenix: Desert Valley Kings) and check out as many car parts places as i can along the way.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I am looking for everything and anything in and around Los Angeles.

Thank you,
Deaks

This has most you need. Saturday morning Huntington Beach is good at Donut Derelicts. Also the John Force shows if they're still on.

What a shame you aren't there for a Saturday! Cars & Coffee Irvine is a monster Saturday morning meet up, with everything from old rods to modern exotics attending. Details here, must see if your itinerary changes:

Your options will be somewhat limited given you are effectively there midweek. That said, jump on google a week out and search for some events, as something on a weeknight may pop up.

If you are remotely interested in modern/exotic cars, definitely grab lunch on Sunset Blvd one day, and you'll enjoy a steady stream of big dollar cars and a few classics too.

There are many classic/muscle car shops around LA too - perhaps make one of those your first port of call and suss out whether anything is going on. Local knowledge is best!
