Anyone going to http://www.altcarexpo.com/index.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;?
Lots of cars to test drive and see at http://www.altcarexpo.com/exhibitor_vehicles.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;.
I'm contemplating making the trek down there (>300 miles for me, one way). How were the test drives at the 2011 event? Were they on a closed course or out on the open road?
Did they at least have some stretches were you could punch it or test their handling, a bit?
If I go, I may need some help w/bidding on Priceline for hotels. (I attended UCLA but never had much of a reason to stay in hotels down there. In that part of LA, I've only ever stayed at the UCLA Guest House and the former Holiday Inn on Church Lane (round hotel) near the 405 and UCLA (now http://www.tripadvisor.com/Hotel_Review-g32655-d84522-Reviews-Hotel_Angeleno-Los_Angeles_California.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false.
It seems that many/most (all?) Santa Monica hotels at http://biddingfortravel.yuku.com/topic/5121/LOS-ANGELES-HOTEL-LIST" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; have very pricey parking. I'd prefer it be free or minimal cost. I'm not sure about some of the other zones. I definitely don't want to stay too far away (traffic sucks) or stay in a bad area (e.g. downtown LA, Hollywood, Inglewood, etc.)
is a map of the zones.
