So I just made my hotel reservation at the Crowne Plaza in Irvine for the Classic weekend. Not too bad, they offer a rate of $93 per night, well Thursday nite is the full rate, but Fri/Sat are the lower “German Automobile Club” rates. If you check the bottom right side of this blog you can see how many days until the VW overload starts. For more info on the hotel reservations go HERE. Hurry, cause the host hotel fills up quickly, then you’ll be forced to stay somewhere else. If you are like me and can’t arrive in your own VW and have to rent a car.. I highly suggest FOX. Why fox and not Hertz, Avis or Budget? If you’ve ever rented from those guys you know how expensive it is.. Last Classic I think the car was more than the hotel. I go to LA on business at least every 4 months.. FOX is cheaper and if you love driving a PT Cruiser it is pure gold.

Took a quick business trip to Los Angeles this past week. Great weather (for a change), 80 deg, sunny. Great food as usual and lots of beer. Hey, next time you go down I highly recommend FOX rent a car. If you have ever rented from the bigger car rental outfits you end up paying way, way too much to rent a car. FOX is pretty good in comparison. Only draw back is their basic economy car is the PT Crusier, which we renamed the “poontang cruiser” cause it is such a chick magnet. I mean everybody was looking at us?!? Not sure why, could have been the high revving engine? Didn’t have any time to scope out any VWs, but did see a nice 15 window deluxe bus and an oval in a shop in Burbank. Otherwise nothing going.

In LA. Some California weather.. cool and rainy. hmm just like Vancouver.
