Default Opening night at Petersen's Porsche Effect

According to the museum, this is the biggest, most comprehensive Porsche exhibit outside of the company's official facility in Germany. So if you're in SoCal and a Porsche fan, we'd really suggest stopping by. Check out all the details here, and watch the video below.

Wow, that's tempting enough to want to visit California.

I visited the exhibit last weekend. All the cars and history were amazing, especially the Porsche's! If you are in LA, you must go see the exhibit. In addition to the general admission, you must take the vault tour. There are at 20 other Porsche's in the vault plus other rare cars. The vault tour is 90 minutes long and you cannot take pictures, no cameras allowed. I highly recommend the exhibit and well worth the money. $16.00 for general admission and an additional $20.00 for the vault tour. Be sure to book your vault tour in advance online. They have the rare 901 on display along with the rare 356 Continental. In the vault you will see one of the three 928s that were used in the movie Risky Business. Elvis's shot up car is there along with the Green Hornet and Grease Lightning cars in the vault. You will not be disappointed!

Is that the Pantera he shot because it wouldn't start? Ha ha! Drugs can make people do messed up things...
