Tom Smith: Welcome to iDriveSoCal, the podcast all about mobility, from the automotive capital of the United States, Southern California. Tom Smith here along with the good Professor, Mr. Clinton Quan. Say hello, Clinton. Clinton Quan: Hi, Tom. Tom Smith: Hey, hey, hey. Back again. Today, we are talking, a continuation of our talk of the Professor's Awesome Auto Show June. And this past weekend, the Professor went to the Highway Earth Car Show, which is relatively new in terms of car shows. I guess, it's the fifth annual. And the Professor is going to fill us all in about it. Tom Smith: But my first time that I heard Highway Earth Car Show, I thought, okay, this is going to be our granola stand for concessions along with Priuses, and Leafs, and maybe some Teslas, but all things green as it pertains to vehicles. But that's not the case. The name does not ... Highway Earth does not actually indicate that, does it? Clinton Quan: No. Tom Smith: Okay. Clinton Quan: Well, this is a fairly new car show, as you mentioned. This is the fifth year for the Highway Earth Car Show, which takes place in Beverly Hills, up in the mountains at Franklin Canyon Park. There's a beautiful lake up there, and the cars surround the lake. Tom Smith: That's still technically Beverly Hills up there. Clinton Quan: Yes, it is technically Beverly Hills, and most people don't know that. I actually looked it up, and the address is in Beverly Hills. Tom Smith: Is it the ... What was the TV show, Beverly Hills 90210? Clinton Quan: Yes. Tom Smith: Is it that zip code by chance? Clinton Quan: I don't think so. Tom Smith: Totally doesn't matter. Clinton Quan: I would be surprised if it is. Tom Smith: I don't want a slide off topic, anyway. Clinton Quan: The founder of the car show, his name is Evan Klein. He is a well-known automotive photographer. He photographs for Automobile Magazine and Road & Track Magazine. Tom Smith: Okay. Clinton Quan: So, he started this car show because he has a true passion for cars. Tom Smith: Sure. Clinton Quan: He wanted to share his passion. And this car show, it's open to anyone who is an automotive enthusiast. So, whether you love sports cars, Ferraris or Porsches, or you love cute little cars, say, something like the the Nash. There's a picture- Tom Smith: Right, right. I like that picture of the Nash. Clinton Quan: ... with a couple in it. Yes. So, this is a car show for everyone, and it's free to spectators as well, and it takes place the first weekend ... Officially, the first weekend of summer every year. Tom Smith: All right. So, you got the summer solstice out in Stonehenge in UK. And then, you cross the pond,
