You obviously like cars since you're here, you gotta check out the museum! I went during their hosting of the 24 hour of le mans:

Our company has done two x-mas parties there. It's worth checking out. They used to do a radio show out of the basement on sat or Sunday morning. I was on it once! It's a cool place to visit. Highly reccomend it!

Saw my very first McLaren F1 in person there. I must have taken a couple hundred pictures that day.

It was closed for remodel when I visited a few years ago. Talk about bad timing on my end.

Yeah, it was pretty dated. It's all sexy now! You should head back and check it out.

Pretty cool place, went there last year. Looked very modern and all the font looked like it was stolen from Tesla. They had a full carbon body Mclaren P1 in the lobby.
