If you're staying in Pasadena and want to have a good time, stay (reasonably) close to Pasadena. It's a beautiful area. What some of these out-of-town advisors don't understand is that Los Angeles is a HUGE city, hundreds of square miles of solid people and traffic. If you think you're going to have a good time driving all over tarnation in city traffic, knock yourself out. Not my idea of a good time.

Either stay where you plan on hanging-out or hang-out (near) where you're staying. That's my advice. I'm sure there are plenty of exotic car dealerships in Pasadena, they're everywhere.
