You don't need reservations to go--it's free. But you need reservations for parking. The alternative is to park somewhere else and catch the bus to the museum, as you can't park in the local neighborhoods.

I've only been to the Petersen (across the street from LACMA) once. I thought it was a little disappointing, and that was with the Porsche 50th anniversary exhibit. It's a quick walk-through museum. Interestingly, there are no entrances from the street. In homage to the subject matter and L.A. car culture, you can only get in through the parking garage.

Friday night you can catch cruise night (and some Pelicans) at Bob's Big Boy in Toluca Lake. Mostly American iron.



Sunday has an epic Cars and Coffee in Irvine, and the one in Calabasas (where it seemed the average guy showed up in an F430) recently moved locations to somewhere else in the Valley.
I have never been to the Calabasas cars and coffee. Are there as many cars to see as the Irvine one? How do you find out where they have gone in the valley. Getting out to the valley is a heck closer then OC.
