Landed in LA about midnight last night after the bash and now have 8 days to see a bit of USA for the first time.

Only had one day here on the way to DR but already blown away how welcoming you guys are to an Aussie accent.

Anyway... Day 1;

When I told rental car rep what my plan was he upgraded me from the 6cyl base model Dodge Challenger I had booked into a just released Camaro RS V8 with 100 miles on the clock. Every interaction I have had here seems to turn out with an unexpected good result like that.

Driving at night in rain on wrong side of road on LA roads proved a bit scarier than anticipated so just got my ass into a motel ASAP last night. Going to cruise jay Leno's hidden LA race track and the Peterson Motor museum and find a shop to fix my laptop today, then will flip a coin and either head north along coast to SF or West along historic route 66 toward Arizona.

Will post pics when have laptop back. Keeps failing from this annoying tablet thing.
