Why not hit the roads with the car and visit some of the sightseeing spots overlooking the city, the HOLLYWOOD sign, Santa Monica pier, Malibu, Mulholland, Nike missile base, Getty Museum etc.? Further south you can go to San Pedro Cabrillo Aquarium (free), Long Beach, see the harbor, Battleship Iowa... in LA there is a ton to do as well - you can go to the La Brea tar pits (any interest in prehistoric animals?) and LA county museum of art on the same campus, hit Koreatown and hit a traditional restaurant there... endless options ...

I agree except that he would need to pick one or two of these things. Since he's starting @ Universal, the beginning of Mulholland is right there on Cahuenga, he could drive Mulholland all the way to the 405 where that stretch effectively ends and hit the Getty Museum, (or just drive past it), take 405 a short burst to Sunset and turn right towards PCH which will take him to Malibu. Once in Malibu, he could stick to the coast/beach or shoot up into the Malibu canyons, which of course could eat up as much time as you want to carve corners.
Just the drive from Universal to the 405 on Mulholland and Sunset Blvd. to PCH is more nice curves than most entire states in the U.S. have to offer. Mind-blowing beautiful drive on a perfect May afternoon, as well.
