The Auto Gallery

The Auto Gallery has once again sponsored Supercar Sunday for the upcoming calendar year. It is very kind of them and they truly do a lot to support the car community.

Many of you recall that we used to hold Supercar Sunday at Village Coffee Roaster. Well, dominoes fell and we lost that location. We shut down the Village Coffee Roaster store and Supercar Sunday went on hiatus.

I was in a very strange place at the time—shutting down a business I operated for fifteen years, losing my income stream, addressing a pending lawsuit about the show, and coping with general uncertainty. I was very concerned about Supercar Sunday, especially because it ties directly to the Motor4toys Charitable Foundation, but what was I to do?

Then, one fateful day, Tony Schwartz, one of the owners of the Auto Gallery, called me to ask what was going on. I explained the situation and Tony said, “We need to get the event back for the community.” He said he would help me and that is exactly what he did. A few weeks later we were in a meeting with Westfield and we secured the current location for Supercar Sunday. Tony then said he would sponsor the event to assist with the cost. He explained that his only concern was getting the show back for the community and to grow the hobby. To me, this spoke volumes. I was excited and grateful for his assistance. Tony is a real car guy; he gets it.

So, once again, the Auto Gallery is the presenting sponsor of Supercar Sunday for 2013. They believe in the event and, more importantly, recognize the

from the editor

importance that the event plays in the car community.

Thank you, Auto Gallery. Thank you, Tony.

I feel I would be remiss if I did not speak more about the Auto Gallery. Why? Because as an automotive group, they deserve it. I can tell you that they have done more for our community than most will ever know. Their assistance with Supercar Sunday has not only helped me to continue the event, but because of their assistance, we all get to have a great time, weekly and annually. How many lives has Supercar Sunday touched over the years? The Auto Gallery has played major role and they ask for virtually no credit.

As I mentioned previously, both Motor4toys and Supercar Sunday are dear to my heart. I love doing them both. When the Auto Gallery became the sponsor for the 8th Annual Motor4toys event, I knew they would provide a tremendous value. They not only contributed much needed funds, but so many others items and services. It was unbelievable. They also had their marketing department put together videos, email blasts, and everything in their power to add to the success of the event. Nobody had ever gone so far. After the 8th Annual Motor4toys, they told me they were on board for the 9th Annual event in 2012. I was very pleased. Carrying on their tradition, they went further than anybody else had ever done. All they said was: “It is for the kids and the community.” Now, I can truly appreciate that. I have included a story in this issue about a toy drive at a local school—please take a moment to read it—which will show you the length that the Auto Gallery goes to! The

G

Auto Gallery will again be sponsoring the 10th Annual Motor4toys Charity Car Show and Toy Drive for 2013.

Thank you, again, to the Auto Gallery!

Doing what I do, I always look for great partners to work with who are like-minded and can understand a vision, a goal, and perhaps even understand and appreciate altruism. From my book the Auto Gallery has done so very much for our community and they deserve recognition. I have never gotten a “no” out of them and they always look to assist when they can. They help me so much and it is greatly appreciated.

To recognize the Auto Gallery’s support of the car community, I have a favor to ask of each of you—the readers of Driven World magazine and the attendees of Supercar Sunday and Motor4toys. If you have any need for a vehicle or for servicing, I suggest that the first place you head is to the AUTO GALLERY. From where I am sitting, they deserve the first shot at your business. They have been loyal to Supercar Sunday and Motor4toys and we should be loyal to them. To me, it only makes sense.

A very special thank you to the entire Auto Gallery Automotive Group for supporting the car community in such an amazing way.

We Got Married!

by Heather and Dustin Troyan Photos: Greg Grudt

We got married! On October 19, 2012 we tied the knot. Many of you have asked for us to include a story in Driven World about the wedding and we are happy to oblige. But first we wanted to say that we do consider the car community to be part of our family and we only wish we had all the money in the world so we could have invited everyone to celebrate with us in-person.

Dustin: The wedding was just perfect. Leading up to it, we were working with a budget and quickly found that weddings can be expensive. Who knew?? But I could not have asked for more. I basically sat back and let Heather do it all!

Heather: When we first started wedding planning, I looked at location after location but just couldn’t find the right one. Frustrated, Dusty and I kept up the search week after week. Then one Saturday we were riding our bikes on Mulholland and decided to ride around Malibou Lake. As we approached the lake—a place we simply never considered—we noticed a wedding taking place. When we got home, I went online and set up an appointment. Soon thereafter we met with Laura, from Truly Yours Catering (http://trulyyourscatering.com/), who handles all events at Malibou Lake. We had a great meeting and the location seemed both beautiful and within reach. We had found our wedding location!

Dustin: When one is booking a wedding, there is a pesky charge—the “day fee.” This initial fee to “book” the location can be thousands and thousands of dollars depending on the locale. Malibou Lake was quite reasonable but I believe in trying to get extra value and save a buck when possible. So I scheduled an appointment with Laura to ask if she would be willing to adjust the day fee. She suggested I contact Chris, the owner of Truly Yours Catering. I did that and, as it turns out, he is a car guy! What a small world! Chris had been to Motor4toys and we realized that weeks earlier we had spoken at length at Supercar Sunday. Chris provided so many extras with his compliments to guarantee the event was a success.

Heather: When Laura initially asked us who we hired to be our wedding coordinator, we responded, “Why do we need a wedding coordinator?” She looked horrified. When she asked who was going to marry us, we responded, “We don’t know.” She then asked about our florist and we had no idea. When she asked about our photographer and DJ, we finally had answers. Naturally, Greg Grudt, who has been photographing at Sueprcar Sunday for years and is a professional wedding/special events photographer, would have to be our photographer (Greg Grudt Photography & Craig T. Mathew, 818.581.7634, zero727@aol.com). And Matt Graumann, who had done a fine job at a wedding we attended, would be the DJ (Matt Graumann Entertainment and Uplighting, www.Mattgraumann.com, 800.581.5455, MatthewGraumann@sbcglobal.net) Dustin: I thought, “Hell, if we put on Supercar Sunday and Motor4toys, how hard could it be for us to throw a wedding reception? A hundred or so people, a ceremony, some dinner, some dancing? No problem!”

Poor Laura. She looked as if she thought we were nuts.

I assured her that we would pull it off and that it would be perfect for us. She promised to help us throughout the entire process.

Heather: There were still so many details and the devil is in the details they say. Again we were on a bike ride, this time with one of our close friends, Jon Johnson.

He started asking all the same questions that Laura did about our plans. Do you have a coordinator? Do you have an officiant? Do you have this? Do you have that?

We explained that we really only had a time, a place, and a date. Jon let out a shriek and kindly suggested that weddings were a big deal so we should really start planning. We figured we better mail invitations to our guests but…did we even have invitations yet??

Dustin: So a couple weeks went by and we were on another bike ride with Jon. You have to understand that Jon is a planner of the highest order. I could take a page out of his book and I probably should. He once again asked about the wedding. We had all the same answers as before but, hey, we always get things done! There was

a similar shriek and some head shaking from Jon. I think at this point we had sent out the invitations but, even still, Jon suggested that we should really move along faster with the planning.

Heather: Next we started to think about who was going to perform the wedding ceremony for us. Were we going to hire some person to get up and do a whole spiel about the two of us after meeting us for only a couple of hours? That didn’t make sense to us.

So, who would marry us? Then we both thought, “Jon should!” But, would he agree to do it? Dustin knew Jon would refuse at first, but we both knew we could count on him.

Happily, Jon agreed.

Dustin: Heather went forth and took care of everything. I kind of sat back and she did her thing. I suppose our wedding was a little unconventional. Deep down, we knew if anything went wrong it wouldn’t matter; the only thing that mattered was that we were to be married. As the day got closer, excitement was in the air. Heather’s family came down from Oregon to stay with us and during the week before the wedding the house was a beehive of activity. Her father and I seemed calm, but Heather, her mother, and her sister—wow! The girls were going crazy, doing this and that, going here and there. If I could harness that energy we wouldn’t need fossil fuels!

Heather: All the details came together. The rehearsal was great and that’s when we explained that we wanted to include two infants, Rich and Erin’s twins, in the ceremony.

Everyone said, “Babies in the wedding? What if they cry?” We didn’t care; they had to be in it (and, as it turns out, they were angels during the ceremony). Because we were organizing the wedding ourselves, we knew that would have a bit of work to do on the big day. We are so very lucky to have amazing friends and family and we just knew that we would all work together to get everything done. And, we did! The sunset ceremony and reception were beautiful.

Dustin: Jon did an amazing job as the officiant during the ceremony. In fact, many people asked if Jon was a professional!

It meant the world to us to have our friend perform the wedding ceremony and we want to thank him for that.

Heather: It only took nine years to get there but, as they say, good things come to those who wait!

Dustin: Yeah, Heather waited a long time. I have to say that I am the lucky one in the marriage—a better woman I could not find.

So that is our wedding story. The wedding was our day but all our friends and family made it so perfect. It was more than we could have ever asked for—so natural, easy, and wonderful. Thank you to our friends and family! We also want to say a special thanks to Laura and Chris at Truly Yours Catering, Greg Grudt Photography & Craig T. Mathew, Sara J Pastries, and Matt Graumann Entertainment and Uplighting. You all outdid yourselves. We would recommend your services to everyone! You went out of your way to make sure we had a great day and helped us when we needed it. Last but not least, thank you to everyone in the car community for all your good wishes!

Thank you to all, The Troyans

2013 Valentine ‘n Wine

by Danah Palmer

The Fourth Annual Valentine ‘n Wine weekend is being held February 14-18, 2013. The event is sponsored by the Ventura County Winery Association and it provides an opportunity to taste wines, visit wineries, and celebrate the holiday weekend in our own backyard.

There are ten participating wineries from Ventura, Oxnard, and Camarillo, each of which has special events, foods, discounts, and activities planned. For example, Four Brix Winery in Ventura will have a Valentine food and wine pairing and Cantara Cellars in Camarillo will have a photo booth and shopping boutique. “Our goal is to get people out to the wineries,” said Mike Brown, owner and winemaker at Cantara Cellars.

The wineries participating in the event are: San Vicente Cellars, Millesime Cellars, Bella Victorian Vineyard, Cantara Cellars, Herzog Wine Cellars, Magnavino Cellars, Rancho Ventavo Cellars, Four Brix Winery, Panaro Brothers Winery, and Plan B Wine Cellars.

In addition to wine tasting, Valentine ‘n Wine focuses on wine production, with opportunities to talk to winemakers and get a feel for the wine industry in Ventura county. “You are going to meet the people who make the wine. We are small, family-owned businesses.” said Brown.

Purchasing a Valentine ‘n Wine passport allows you to visit the wineries on any of the five days and experience all that beautiful Ventura County has to offer, from restaurants to hotels and so on.

The Ventura County Winery Association, which sponsors the event, is a non-profit organization that promotes wine tourism in Ventura County. They host several events in the county throughout the year including the Poker Run planned with the wineries for Labor Day weekend. The Association specializes in wine education, winemaking, tasting, and marketing and they focus on wineries within the 101 corridor of Camarillo, Oxnard, and Ventura. The wineries are all within ten minutes of each other and the goal of the Association is to coordinate with all of them. “We want to support those getting into winemaking and those who want to learn more about wine,” said Gary Stewart, one of the owners of Four Brix Winery.

Each of the Ventura County wineries has a distinct style of winemaking, creating different varietals and often utilizing grapes from different regions in California. “We use grapes from all over. We are geographically diverse and varietal diverse,” said Brown. “Winemaking is like being a chef in the restaurant. We just don’t get to change the ingredients every day.”

Valentine ‘n Wine tickets can be obtained online at www.vcwines.com or at any of the participating wineries after February 1. Tickets are $40 in advance or $45 the weekend of the event.

Golf Tips with Tommy

By Tommy Mansuwan

Product Review: Fourteen Rm-11 wedges

A couple of years ago I was fortunate enough to receive some clubs from golf manufacturer, Fourteen, to compete with in Asia. Fourteen is a Japanese company so I am sure the name may be alien to most of you stateside. While the company makes every club in the bag, they are known on the worldwide professional tours for their wedges and the amount of spin they produce. In the past couple of years I have been playing with their V5 model wedges until just recently when I was given their latest wedge to use, the Rm-11.

While the oval-shape of the two models is fairly similar, the most dramatic difference I noticed was the increase in spin on the new model. During the first few days with the V5, I could see that there was some roll out with chip shots around the green— something I didn’t expect from those wedges. After the first few shots with the Rm-11, I could immediately tell that these had the stop action Fourteen is known for. Sand shots stopped on a dime after a few hops, whereas chip shots would check up for some controllability around the greens. I found this to be a bit of an issue with its predecessor but I was thrilled that they addressed it in the latest model.

The increase in spin also translates into the full and half shots into the green. Unless the greens were real soft and receptive, the old V5 wedge would land and stop slightly in front of its pitch mark. In comparison, the new wedge has enough bite to bring the ball back a few feet in many different conditions.

The spin can give you a bit more confidence to attack those tighter pins and who wouldn’t want a bit of extra spin? Playing with these the past few weeks reminds me of the wedges made before the groove ruling era.

And we wonder why the pros would play with anything else that doesn’t have Vokey on it.

For those interested in buying the wedges off the rack, they come in two different finishes: nickel chrome plated and non-glare black finish. While the nickel finish is technically a non-glare finish, it is best to go with the black if you are sensitive to any reflection of the sun on the club. Similar to putter finishes, the nickel will give a hint of a sun spot in direct sunlight but not enough to completely blind you as chrome wedges will do. Before you commit to buying a new Vokey or Cleveland wedge in the future, give Fourteen a try and I’m sure you’ll be switching the rest of your wedges soon after.

In future issues, Driven World will attempt to provide insight into the process of buying, leasing, and selling new and used vehicles through dealerships. In this time of continuing financial uncertainty, it is more important than ever to get a good deal when financing or leasing your new or used car or truck. While consumers are generally well-informed about pricing thanks to the internet, there is nothing like going to a dealership to see and drive the vehicles in which you are interested. In the case of used vehicles—which can be bought, sold, and scheduled for delivery entirely online—the ability to inspect, evaluate, and test-drive in-person is invaluable.

To help answer questions about the car buying and selling process and the dealership experience, Driven World is starting an “advice column” for readers. We welcome your comments and questions, some of which will be addressed in future columns.

As a local resident, automotive journalist, and auto broker, I look forward to coordinating this new column. I am a longtime auto enthusiast so I have bought and leased many cars and I always expect honesty and great customer service from dealerships. As a former employee and manager at dealerships, I also learned what it takes to sell vehicles. Currently, my associates and I act as go-betweens to help individuals obtain vehicles from dealerships and we aim to make the process as simple and inexpensive as possible.

Please send comments and questions about buying, leasing, and selling new or used vehicles through dealerships to: autobrokerscott@gmail.com.

The 2013 Supercar Sunday season is here and I am so very excited to tell you about some new additions to the event. One of my many goals for 2013 is to build a more cohesive event and community.

First and foremost, I want to say a very special thank you to all of our sponsors.

As I mentioned in my letter from the editor, the Auto Gallery is our Presenting Sponsor for 2013 and I am grateful for their unparalleled support of the community. I would also like to thank State Farm Agent Fred Stahl for his continuing support as a Platinum Sponsor. Last but not least, I would like to thank Westfield Promenade for allowing us to use such a wonderful location every Sunday. I would also like to thank our friends at the LAPD and City Councilman Dennis Zine for years of support with Supercar Sunday and Motor4toys. Together we have created such an amazing community. Let the tradition continue for 2013 and beyond!

Driven World, the official magazine of Supercar Sunday, will continue to grow. I am very proud of the magazine, which is brought to you every month thanks to our advertisers. If you wish to advertise, it may be more affordable than you think and it will certainly help defray production costs. Or, if you have a story to tell or would like to contribute to the magazine in another way, I am always open to ideas, suggestions, and letters to the editor.

Please feel free to contact me at: Dustin@connectedmediagroup.com

As for the event itself, you may have noticed that the Supercar Sunday marque days have been moved to the first Sunday of each month. This will continue for the foreseeable future. I will be “building” some of the Sundays in between the marquee days with specific events. To keep up with current events and happenings, you can visit: www.supercarsunday.com.

Another way to stay informed about Supercar Sunday is with our web forum at www.drivenworld.com. Take a moment to register and introduce yourself. By registering on the forum, you can receive email blasts about upcoming events and special offerings from local businesses. Many of us have been getting together on Sunday mornings for over ten years so it would be nice to be able to chat online.

Supercar Sunday is an event I love doing. It is near and dear to my heart. You have heard me say that the best part of the event is the people. The cars ain’t so bad, but, to me, it is the people who make the event. On Sundays I only ask that we respect each other. It is our duty to police ourselves and set a fine example for others. Come in good spirits and respect the rules—thank you in advance for doing so and thanks for years of fun. There are decades of it to come! I will do my best to continue the Supercar Sunday tradition and improve it.

Looking forward to seeing you Sunday!

Dustin

A Tribute to Shelby at the Petersen AutomotiveMuseum

Carroll Shelby was an American icon in every sense of the phrase. A fierce competitor, Carroll served in the United States Army Air Corps during World War II before his legendary racing days. His legendary rivalry with Enzo Ferrari goes down in history as one of the most vicious head-to-head competitions to ever be seen in the racing community. He also started his own foundation to benefit children with life threatening illnesses. And, as a small footnote to an impressive career, he also made some of the most amazing American muscle cars to ever grace the roads! Unfortunately, we all lost the legend this past year and it seems unlikely that we will ever see another one cut from the same cloth.

January 11th, 2013 marked the day of Carroll’s 90th birthday and to commemorate the occasion the Petersen Automotive Museum, in collaboration with Hillbank Motor Corporation (home of Shelby Distribution and Superformance), hosted an event in his honor.

The morning started at Hillbank’s facility in Irvine, California where we met up with roughly 50 other Shelby friends and fans. Hillbank’s showroom is always an impressive sight to behold, featuring a stunning mix of 289 and 427 Cobras, GT40s, and Daytonas. Recently Superformance has additionally added the Corvette Grand Sport and AC 378 GT Zagato, which Hillbank CEO Lance Stander arrived in. After a quick meet-and-greet, Lance and his wife, Deborah, switched it up and got behind the wheel of their Anniversary Edition Shelby GT40 and led us all for a brisk cruise up the 405 Freeway to the Petersen.

This day was definitely one for the devoted. It was unusually cold for Southern California but that would never stop a Cobra owner from taking the rare opportunity to join in Carroll’s birthday celebration. As the group travelled single file in their heaviest jackets, wide grins of Cobra drivers were generally accompanied by the blanketwrapped passengers on this 60 mile journey.

Upon arrival the collective group of Cobras joined the other Mustangs and a mixed group of sports cars on the roof of the Petersen parking structure. As the day warmed up the group everything from original Cobras, Superformance and Shelby continuations, Classic GT350s and every mix of Mustang you can think of; there was even a SRT10 Viper and a Gen 5 Camaro in the celebration. The Shelby faithful of Shelby American Automobile Club were there in force displaying their cars along with members of the Orange County Mustang Club.

After a quick viewing of the visiting cars outside it was time for a walkthrough of the Petersen--a jawdropping experience for any automotive enthusiast-- with an ever evolving collection of rare cars. The Petersen was also gracious enough to open their famed vault for a rare tours for those willing to make an additional donation.

Carroll’s wife, Cleo Shelby, was on hand to meet with fans and cut a special birthday cake for Carroll, from which everyone partook of before the day ended. Like any car show there were awards. In the end it was what every car enthusiast would want in a birthday: great friends, great cars, and a fantastic drive. Hats off to the Petersen Automotive Museum and Hillbank Motor Corporation for the wonderful event, and I think I speak for everyone when I say I can’t wait to celebrate Carroll’s birthday next year!

The New Viper Seen at Supercar Sunday

My phone beeped. It was a text message saying the new Viper would be at Supercar Sunday the next morning. I love text messages like that. The new Viper making a local debut at Supercar Sunday—fantastic!

Unfortunately the weather forecast called for rain but what do they know? Early the next morning the ground was wet and the sky couldn’t decide whether or not to rain. Damn, when the ground is wet we have a smaller turnout. Would the Viper show up?

We arrived at Supercar Sunday and the hardcore enthusiasts began to pull in. I let them know that there was going to be a little surprise from Detroit but nobody knew what to expect. Promptly at 7:00am, the new Viper graced us with her presence.

As it turned out, the skies cleared and Supercar Sunday filled up. Everybody who spotted the Viper across the parking lot rushed over to take pictures and to ask questions. Instantly, the Viper went viral and photographers showed up to pay homage and snap pictures.

The new Viper has quite a presence. The high-quality fit and finish and the polished refinement are long overdue. A gentleman’s Viper, this car has been made to be driven and then really driven!

Under the hood, which everybody wanted to see, the vicious V10 offered a refined 640 hp. The 600 lb-ft of torque will get you to speed lickity split. Weight, amounting to almost 40 lbs., has been shaved off the engine and flywheel. Yes, she does rev up a bit faster, too. From light to light, this car would hit 60 mph in the mid to low three second range.

By: Dustin Tryoan

Attention to detail is the real story. The previous, unrefined Viper interior was more like a European GT with an American twist. Now, if you order the GTS package, which I would suggest, you can add more options for interior color, driver-selectable two-mode suspension system, Sport and Track settings for the stability control, and custom wheel designs.

For the track guys, an available SRT track package offers ultra-lightweight wheels with Pirelli P Zero Corsa soft-compound tires and StopTech’s finest lightweight two-piece brake rotors.

The new and improved Viper—we loved it! We are looking forward to many more examples at Supercar Sunday, especially on the Viper marque day. And yes, a Viper day has been planned!

Thank you to the SRT Team for sharing!

Proudly announcing the arrival of the

2013 Dodge SRT VIPER For more information:

Good old Village Coffee Roaster… it was great for so many different reasons, one of which was networking. Back then I wanted so dearly to get involved with local schools to organize annual toy drives but, not having a kid in a local school, it was really difficult.

At Village Coffee Roaster we had regular customers who would become friends and were always more than willing to help. One of my regulars had two children in Chaparral Elementary School in Calabasas. I asked if she could find out if the school was interested in being a part of Motor4toys. A few weeks later she told me the answer was a solid, “Yes!” I was elated. It was such a natural way to grow Motor4toys. We could help so many more kids!

I was supposed to head over to the school for one of their weekly assemblies and give a “little speech” to 300 or so kids. No problem. A week later I was supposed to return with a law enforcement agency and the kids would help load the toys they had collected into the vehicles. It was a no-brainer. Speaking to kids is not a problem. For those of you who know me, I never seem to be short of words. (The license plate on my ‘68 Camaro is “FLAPJAQ” because I am always flapping.) Over the years, I have given a number of speeches. I don’t really worry about it and words always seem to come pretty easy to me. So, this would be a breeze—a speech to kids?

Done!

Oddly enough, around 7:55am on the day of the assembly I felt a little nervous. Then I arrived at the elementary school, an environment I haven’t been in for years, and I didn’t know anybody. I felt a little like the odd man out. Then the kids started pouring in: one… two…three…fifteen…twenty….two hundred…three hundred! My hands started to sweat. I told myself to relax and that I have been in some interesting situations in my life so I can do this. I can talk to some kids. But wait, why was my heart rate up? You have got to be kidding me! My mom was a teacher for almost 30 years in LAUSD, mainly second grade and kindergarten, so I figured if my mom did this for 30 years I could do it for three minutes! But why was I sweating so much?

The PTA President and the Principal were naturals, of course. They knew how to talk to the kids and keep their attention. We went through the morning routine, which included the National Anthem, and it brought me back to my childhood. The Principal went through the numerous topics and upcoming events and then she mentioned Motor4toys and my name. She handed the microphone over to me. I got ready to do my usual

routine about the Motor4toys Foundation but there was a problem, I drew a blank, started sweating more, and my heart rate went through the roof. It may not have been a spectacular performance but the kids and the Principal were nice about it. A week later, I headed back with a handful of law enforcement officers and the kids were so very excited. They had collected over nine full boxes of toys, which would help a couple hundred needy kids to have a better holiday. The school, the families, and the kids did such a fine job!

So that was the first year. I was hoping to make it an annual tradition and, happily, Chaparral Elementary was on board for the second and third years. So the fourth year rolled around and I had a new idea for the school. What if I brought some classic cars to share with the kids on the day we picked up the toys they collected?

The school loved the idea. But now I had a problem. Who was I going to get to share their classic cars?? Crazy Al Donath! Al plays a big role with the Classic Chevys of Southern California, which is the real deal. The members are all real car guys with huge hearts. I knew I could count on them. When I told Al my idea he hemmed and hawed but I knew he would be able to pull it off. He called a handful of guys and they were in!

On the day of the fourth annual toy collection, we arrived before the kids to stage the 1955, 1956, and 1957 Chevys. The kids loved them! Most of the kids

had never been that close to a classic car and they were so excited. The parents and staff at the school loved the cars, as well. It was a win all the way around.

The next year, as I was preparing for the Eighth Annual Motor4toys Charity Car Show and Toy

bring some Ferraris and Lamborghinis with the Classic Hot Rods?” The kids erupted with a unanimous, “YES!”

Me and my big ideas and even bigger mouth.

I realized that I had, in natural “Dusty-style”, given myself just a week to find exotic car owners who would be willing to take a day off of work and help out with a toy drive event at an elementary school. This was not going to be easy.

I thought about it for a while and I figured all I really needed was two cars: one Ferrari and one Lamborghini. I already had the Classics and the LAPD lined up so I was sure two cars would be enough. But where would I get them? As I mentioned in this month’s letter from the Drive, I reached out to Chaparral Elementary once again.

I asked if I could bring back the Classic Chevys along with LAPD and they loved the idea. But then there was another thought rattling around in my head, “What if I brought exotic cars to the school?” I decided to sleep on it.

This time when I went to Chaparral Elementary to give my speech at the “Toy Drive Kick Off Assembly” I was better with the kids and figured out that the key was to get them involved. During my speech I asked, “Do you like hot rods?” They let out a yell. Then I asked, “Do you like exotic cars?” They let out another yell. Then I asked, “Do you like Ferraris and Lamborghinis?” They screamed really loud. So I asked, “Do you want me to

editor, the Auto Gallery has offered tremendous support to Motor4toys, Supercar Sunday, and, the general car community over the years. I thought I might be able to borrow a car or two from them. It was worth a shot. So I put in a call to John Kerley, Director of Fixed Operations at the Auto Gallery. John is a car guy and all around good guy. I figured I would pull at his heart strings and bring up all those little kids who were so excited to see a Ferrari and a Lamborghini. Yeah, that was my plan!

When I spoke to John, I told him about the school and what we have done over the years and then I told him about the mess I got myself in promising the exotic cars. I spoke about the amazing kids, parents, and staff who for years have generously given to Motor4toys.

When I was done with my emotional pitch, John said, “We would love to help.” He mentioned that he actually went to Chaparral Elementary when he was a kid and loved the idea of sharing the cars with the kids. I told him I just needed two cars. He told me he would call me

back to see what he could do. I crossed my fingers and hoped for the best.

When John called back, he mentioned how much he loved Motor4toys and how he and the team at the Auto Gallery wanted to assist a great cause. John continued, “So, you asked for two cars. What if we bring ten?” I was speechless. Ten cars? John went on about how he asked his staff and they all wanted to participate. They too love the event and the reason we do it. We had full support from the Auto Gallery.

The day of the assembly, all the cars and LAPD met at Woodlake Bowl in Woodland Hills. It is en route to Chaparral Elementary and, at that time of the morning, the lot was empty. The great guys from Classic Chevys of Southern California arrived first with a handful of 1955s, 1956s, and 1957s. Then a procession of the world’s newest and rarest exotic cars proceeded to pull into the lot. Shortly thereafter our friends from LAPD arrived and we were off to the school.

Once again, we arrived before the kids to stage the cars. I can’t imagine that there has ever in the history of the world been an assembly at an elementary school that included over $5million in cars. From the classics to the exotics, it was stunning.

I do not know who was more surprised, the parents, the teachers, or the kids. It was awesome to watch the kids come in to the yard and start screaming.

They were in awe of the cars. They went from car to car, pointing, giggling, and then something interesting happened. When I was in elementary school we did not

Motor4toys Partners with Chaparral Elementary School Continued have cell phones. But all the kids took out their phones and started taking picture after picture. Group pictures, individual pictures, pictures of just the cars. Most of the boys knew all the models. They pointed at parts, guessed about top speeds. But, it was also amazing because there were a number of girls who knew what every car was, down to the make and model. It was poetry.

The assembly was called and row-by-row the kids brought up their toys. Box after box was filled. It is truly heart-warming to see. Kids helping other kids— what could be better? After all the toys were collected, the older kids got to help load them into LAPD trucks and everyone got to take a big group photo.

Chaparral Elementary is truly a wonderful school and community whose students have done so much to help others. If you are involved in a local school and would like to start an annual toy drive, please let me know (Dustin@connectedmediagroup.com). If we start now, just imagine how many kids we could help over the next ten, twenty, thirty years to come. We can make such a difference! Please contact me if you can assist in setting up a toy drive at your school:

A big thank you from the Motor4toys Foundation to: Chaparral Elementary and the kind families and children who have done such an amazing job for Motor4toys year after year. Let’s carry on this tradition for years to come.

Imagine how many kids we can help!

The Auto Gallery Team. You continually go above and beyond to add value to our community—not just the car community but the community as a whole.

Classic Chevys of Southern California. You guys are too cool for school. Well, not too cool for Chaparral Elementary!

The LAPD and all the officers who are there for Motor4toys. We have many great years of teamwork ahead of us!

The 2013 Aston Martin Vanquish Visits Supercar Sunday

By Greg Grudt

On Sunday, January 20, 2013 a very special Aston Martin pulled into the Supercar Sunday lot, a 2013 Aston Martin Vanquish to be exact. This strikingly beautiful automobile has been all over the country as Aston Martin’s “demo” car. Various dealers and potential owners have been driving and testing this car’s limits since the North American debut in Pebble Beach last summer. The car is not officially for sale yet in the United States, but will be soon. I’d have to say that this is definitely one of the nicest and cleanest Aston Martins that I have ever seen.

I was fortunate enough to do an impromptu photo shoot of the car thanks to a Supercar Sunday regular who was out testing the car for a magazine. He gave me a quick ride to an open area of the parking lot to capture some clean photos of the car.

The roar of the 565 horsepower 6.0

liter V12 is just insane! You just know you are in an Aston Martin with that classic throaty sound coming from the rear. Many people are not really a fans of the blue paint, however I recommend seeing the color on this car in

person before making a judgment.

The all new Vanquish borrowed some styling cues from the extremely limited production Aston Martin One-77 and is also capable of going 0-60 miles per hour in 4.1 seconds. For those of you interested in reaching a top speed of approximately 186 miles per hour, you should plan on setting aside $280,000 for the new Aston Martin Vanquish.

2012 Los Angeles International Auto Show

production. This year there were no fewer than 56 debuts, some North American and some world debuts. Some of these debuts were admittedly just freshened versions of current cars, but others were all new cars really being seen for the first time on these shores.

Porsche launched the new, more grown-up Cayman as well as the “Carrera 4” and “4S” all-wheeldrive derivatives of the new 911 line. Ford brought out Octane Academy members Ken Block, Vaughn Gittin, Jr. and Tanner Foust to introduce the Ford Fiesta ST, the sportiest Fiesta we will likely get from Ford.

Oceans of gleaming sheetmetal, advanced alternative energy powerplants, the latest safety and infotainment upgrades, futuristic concepts, and refreshed production cars—it must be auto show season again.

Even in a bad year, a whole new crop of cars is something to look forward to.

With the first big show of 2013 right in our own backyard, we just had to be there to soak it all in. We stopped by the opening press day of the 2013 Los Angeles International Auto Show on November 28 to check out the newest models and to catch up with some old friends.

Here are some of the highlights.

Right off the bat we have to acknowledge Lincoln, who had the balls to show a completely newcar-free display. What greeted folks entering the hall was a Mad Men-look showroom featuring models from Lincoln’s heyday. Classy and just mysterious enough to get a lot of reporters in there asking what was up. Clever.

And speaking of old favorites, we spotted the very same 2013 SRT Viper GTS that took up residence in the StopTech booth at the SEMA Show a few months

ago—looking just as menacing as ever. We also saw the recently-crowned NHRA Top Fuel Champion Antron Brown’s outrageous DragQuoia dream build challenge car that also debuted in Vegas. A little older, from the company celebrating its 100th birthday in 2013, Aston Martin proudly displayed one of the most famous cars in the world, the James Bond DB5.

Local specialty builder Callaway had a couple of super-tuned trucks and Corvettes in its booth, along with one of their own creations from the past, the innovative C7R endurance racer. Other notable race cars included a Red Bull F1 car, the star-crossed Nissan DeltaWing, Dario Franchitti’s Indy 500 winning Dallara/ Honda, a badass Pirelli World Challenge Cadillac CTS-V Coupe, some rallycross cars from Dodge and Ford, and a freakin’ Shelby Daytona Coupe—so it was a pretty good year for race car nuts in L.A.

Coming a couple of months before the Detroit, Chicago, and New York shows, the Los Angeles Auto Show is one of the first every year to display some of the newest vehicles for the street, both concept and

Toyota showed off its Space Shuttle pulling Tundra and the all-new RAV4. Fiat unveiled the open-air pocket rocket Abarth Cabrio, its new 500e electric car, and the Mini Clubman-like 500L crossover. Mini, for its part, launched its new two-door version of the Clubman, dubbed the Paceman, and Acura debuted its new RLX range-topping sedan.

Meanwhile, Hyundai showed off a new Santa

Fe and a special Veloster “Roll Top” concept that had one of the most theatrical unveilings of the whole show involving a graffiti artist, a street cyclist, and a buttoneddown suburban family that got fed up with acting nice and decided they really wanted to show their inner wild side. So they ripped off their preppy clothes and transformed into an indie garage band to perform for the crowd—mom on violin, dad on guitar, junior on the drums, and sis dancing like a whirling Dervish.

On the tamer side of things, there was also a new Kia Forte and Sorento, a new Honda Civic and Accord, Subaru Forester, Chevy Spark EV, and Volkswagen Beetle Convertible in the somewhat affordable category.

Enthusiasts were more drawn to the fastest Jaguar ever, the XFR-S, and the hot new F-Type, plus the MercedesBenz SLS AMG Black Series, 2014 Nissan GT-R, and Dodge Charger Daytona.

North American debuts in L.A. also included the TDI versions of the Audi A6, A7, A8, and Q5, the Bentley Continental GT3 dealer available race car, the latest versions of the BMW i8 Spyder and i3 Plug-in Hybrid concepts, an all-new Ford Transit Connect, a new range-topping Land Rover Range Rover, the sexy Lexus LF-LC Blue concept, a stunning new Mazda6 that should grab some sales from the midsize market leaders, a beefy

Mercedes-Benz GL 63 AMG, a windowless Mini Clubvan and the fastest yet John Cooper Works GP, plus a new Mitsubishi Outlander, the Nissan Hi-Cross Concept, sporty Volkswagen CC and Beetle R-Line models, and the M5-chasing Volvo S60 Polestar Concept.

Rounding out the debut list were a few models that had been revealed in previously-held private events,

but were making public auto show debuts in Los Angeles: the mid-range Fiat 500 Turbo, Honda Accord Plug-in Hybrid, 2013 Honda CRZ and Crosstour, Lexus LF-CC Concept, and an all-new Nissan Sentra.

It was a pretty substantial slate this year at the L.A. Auto Show. From L.A. the show moves on to Detroit, Chicago, Geneva, New York, and so on. Looks like ’13 might not be such an unlucky number for car enthusiasts with a lot of gems in this latest crop of cars from the major auto manufacturers.

2012 Club Sportiva Fall 100 Miglia

On Saturday November 10, 2012, 100|OCT, automotive lifestyle provider, and Club Sportiva, the nation’s most established exotic car rental, tour, and membership club, gathered 39 exotic and performance cars for the First Annual Fall 100 Miglia. A 100-mile drive around the Santa Cruz Mountains of Northern California, the Fall “CHEN-to MIL-ya”— come on now, give it a try with your best Italian accent—was open to exotic cars, classic cars, muscle cars, and performance cars.

And what an eclectic bunch of cars it was.

Seeing a 1969 Mercedes 280 SL zipping around the twisties—quite hastily it must be said—was no less surprising than seeing a Jaguar XKE using all its 12 cylinders to escape the brand new McLaren MP4-12c chasing it.

After a short visit to the weekly Santana Row Car Meet in San Jose, all cars made their way up the hill to drive the famed Skyline Boulevard through the redwood trees. Fall colors and sunny weather made picture perfect backdrops. Roads were dry and tires warm, so the first leg went up the hill quickly.

At the first stop atop the Santa Cruz Mountains the pack overran a small rest area. Though organizers worried when a park ranger pulled over, he only wanted to check out the cars and chat with the owners.

He had so much fun that he even went up the road to stop traffic and let the whole group out in a single file.

And down the mountain they went.

After an hour on Highway 9, through towns straight out of Western movies, the group all ended up on the wharf in Santa Cruz to grab a bite to eat. Imagine the fantastic sight of a black Ferrari 458 Italia, a yellow Lamborghini Gallardo, a black McLaren MP4-12c, a red Ferrari 360 Spider, a gray Audi R8, and a blue Dodge Viper GTS parked next to each other on a wooden wharf, with bright blue sky and pelicans above and breaking surf and sea lions below.

After a quick trip back up the mountains, Canepa Design gave the gang a private view of their 70,000-square-foot facility. Starting with a showroom that harbors a Lamborghini Countach, a Jaguar XJ220, a couple of Mercedes SL gullwings, and more Porsches than one can count, the visit continued upstairs to the Canepa Motorsports Museum. From a Gulf-liveried Porsche 917, to old school Indy cars, to Can-Am Porsches, and even a Fiat 600 Abarth rally car, the pedigree in the room was mind blowing. And then there was the actual shop where they store and restore everything from a Duesenberg, to a BMW M1, to a few

more Gullwings, a couple of Ferrari Daytonas, and more. What a thrill!

To finish up the Fall 100 Miglia, the longer route was obviously taken. The organizers discovered Bear Creek Road, from Boulder Creek back to Highway 17, the week before the event while doing last-minute reconnaissance to avoid roadwork on the original route. It looked like many of the participants did not know that road either. Everybody was still high on fumes and adrenaline when they made their way into the official finish location: Club Sportiva’s member lounge. 100|OCT provided Champagne and hors d’oeuvres while participants mixed and mingled, and shot some pool on the Ferrari emblazoned table.

Pictures and memories will last participants a lifetime, but they all wanted to know when the next event would be. The 100 Miglia events that 100|OCT is working on for 2013 are: a first annual Spring 100 Miglia in April or May 2013; a second annual Carmel 100 Miglia on August 15, 2013 during Monterey Car Week; and a second annual Fall 100 Miglia in November 2013.

100|OCT has also announced the 2013 Golden Gate to Hollywood (GG2H) Rally. Taking place July 12-14, 2013, the GG2H Rally will start on Friday and participants will drive a route with checkpoints from the Bay Area to

the Los Angeles Metro Area. On Saturday night, results and trophies will be handed out at an Awards Dinner, followed by a typically Hollywood pool party. Those who do wake up the next day will make their way to Supercar Sunday before heading home.

You can find out more on the web, at http:// www.100oct.com/, or on Facebook, at http://www.facebook.com/100.OCT. More pictures of the Fall 100 Miglia and Carmel 100 Miglia have also been published on their respective Facebook pages, at http://www.facebook.com/ Fall100Miglia and http://www.facebook.com/Carmel100Miglia.

Car Culture

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ by Mark Llewellyn ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Born of a cartoon?

A sidecar is a onewheeled device attached to the side of a motorcycle, scooter, or bicycle, creating a threewheel vehicle.

A sidecar was first seen in a cartoon

by George Moore in the January 7, 1903, issue of the British newspaper “Motor Cycling”.

Three weeks later, a provisional patent was granted in England. Graham Brothers of Enfield, Middlesex, partnered with Jonathan A. Kahn and the production of sidecars was born.

Sidecars have been manufactured consistently since the early twentieth century.

Sidecars were quite popular up to the first half of that century because they provided a cheap alternative to passenger cars. Sidecars have not only been used by the general public, but armed forces and police departments all over the world have incorporated their use. Sidecar manufacturers have designed some sidecars that allow the third wheel to have driven power, giving them better traction.

Depending on the country and driving laws, sidecars can be mounted on either the left or right side. In the U.S., sidecars are mounted on the right side. Sidecars have been involved in racing for years as well. The lucky guy in the car is referred to as the monkey!

Although sidecars have become much less common since the mid 1950’s, a number of manufacturers worldwide continue to produce sidecars, including Harley Davidson. www.LeonsTransmission.com
