Movember at the Avalon

Facial hair has gotten profound this month, now that growing a mustache is an act of charity. You've still got about 24 hours to get yours filled out for the Avalon's benefit...where tickets to Hef's mansion are up for grabs for the most noble above-the-lip accomplishment.

LA Auto Show

As Detroit's big three hang in the balance, you now have your chance to ponder the possibilities of the open road ahead. By which we mean your first look at the Ferrari California (the company's first retractable hard-top convertible) and...lots of hybrids.
