Join us for the 2025 Los Angeles Hidden Gems Rally!

We’re hitting the road to explore historic landmarks, secret canyon routes, and cultural icons that prove L.A. really is the greatest city on Earth. Oh—and there will be donuts. Obviously.

We’ll kick things off where legends are made: The Donut Man on old Route 66 in Glendora. After a proper sugar-fueled sendoff, we’ll cruise through charming towns and scenic neighborhoods on our way to Carbon Canyon Coffee Company—a cozy hideaway that’s a gearhead’s dream.

Next stop: the breathtaking Hsi Lai Temple for a truly one-of-a-kind sightseeing experience. With spirits recharged, we’ll dive into one of Los Angeles’ most hidden and exhilarating driving roads—exact location? You’ll just have to come and find out.

We’ll wrap it all up with a well-earned lunch on Whittier’s walkable restaurant row—good food, great company, and maybe even a few new favorite roads.

Wrench. Hang. Repeat.

You know the deal—bring your car, fresh oil, and a filter, and get ready to wrench with the crew. Whether it’s your first time changing oil or your hundredth, we’ve got the space, tools, and good company to make it fun.

Not changing your oil? No problem. Swing by anyway for the cars, beer, good food, and great people.

This has become our biggest event each month—a chill night where car people connect, learn, and lend a hand. It’s the perfect way to get involved, whether you’re a seasoned DIYer or just starting to turn your own wrenches.

Don’t be shy—someone’s always happy to show you the ropes. We’ve got a community that welcomes all skill levels, makes, and models.

Automotive electrical can feel like black magic — but it doesn’t have to. Join us for a hands-on evening class led by one of our own members, M27 Autowerks, and get demystified.

We’ll cover the fundamentals: tools, connectors, wire types, and how to actually use them. You’ll learn how to pin and depin connectors, safely crimp wires, and use a multimeter without frying anything (or yourself). Expect real-world examples, live demos, and a full wiring harness to explore.

Expect friendly rivalries, chaotic pit lanes, and bragging rights that last way longer than the race. Whether you're gunning for the podium or just out to have a blast, this event always delivers.

All skill levels welcome—just bring the energy (and maybe a helmet if you’ve got one). Spots are limited and this one always fills up, so grab your teammate and lock it in.
