I would not eat there but they are car friendly. The one in Burbank often have car meets plus a Starbucks next store.

I heard Jay Leno shows up every now and then. I did see him driving on Magnolia a few months ago with his 1937 Bugatti Atlantic coupe. His garage is nearby.

Jim and I will be at the "streets of willow springs" on Feb 6-7th, maybe some others would like to come to the track and hang out or even sign up for track time. February 6-7, 2010 Saturday and Sunday at Streets of Willow Track
at Willow Springs Raceway 1.8 mile Full Course.
I would give link but mods might not like that.
Jon let me know if Saturday is on, I just need to get a three hour MTB ride in before the meet. I could show up a little earlier.

They story of how I ended up with my GT3 goes like this:
I had a typical evening before going to bed searching for the right GT3 on Autotrader, Cars, PCA Marketplace, Ebay, etc. Low and behold one evening I find a prestine 1 owner, 1900 miles white GT3 on Autotrader, the car is located in FL. I contact the seller, Don and discuss my interest in his GT3 and yes he had/has a matching GT3 RS. He was selling his GT3 because he had a 2010 GT3 on order and needed to clear some space. He proceeds to tell me there are a couple of people also interested but would get back to me by the end of the week. Well, I don't here from him and I send him a text and he says he's sold it!
Although depressed that my ideal GT3 was going to a new home and gone forever I was not giving up all hope I continued my regular search routine. A week and a half after I here about the FL white GT3 being sold I see an ad on cars.com for a white GT3 with 1900 miles. I say to myself that this can't be and I read the ad some more, it was literally verbatim from the FL ad but now it's in Texas. I immediately call the seller, Mike. Turns out Mike bought the car from Don with the intent to keep it but apparently another deal he had made on another 2007 GT3 came through and now faced with selling one of them. He said he'd keep the one the doesn't sell first. I just said to myself that this had to be fate. So needless to say I didn't hesitate and made the deal.
I am still a happy camper.

P.S. Also had the chance to talk to the trucking company, De Moise trucking since they shipped it from FL to TX to verify the condition of the car some more. I also used them to get the GT3 to LA, they did an awesome job!
