Agreed, In-N-Out is a big part of the Socal car culture. When my dad and bro and I would go to Famoso or LACR, we'd hit up the closest In-N-Out for some 4x4's and talk cars and then see other drag racers pull up to do the same. I don't live in socal anymore (Utah is a long cry except for Miller Park and Bonneville) but its a big part of who I am having lived there until I was 19. My first car was a '72 Bug that ended up as a Cal looker. Then while going to school in Utah, I got my first civic, a '95 EX that I did mild mods to. I moved back to Cali and traded up for a '94 Mustang GT and raced it at Fontana's strip and Famoso with my dad and bro. Cars are in the blood and it saved my dad and uncle when their dad died in '67 when then were teenagers.

I remember taking my oldest son when he was 2 to cruise ins in Glendora or the NHRA museum on the first Wed of each month year round. Good times!

Man, this makes me want to just pack up my things and move there! I can't get enough of traditional and rat rods, but I also love the VWs too. I'd love to build a cal-look beetle. Wish I could've seen those birdcage Maseratis and Scarab racing back in the day!
