In every child’s imagination, the inanimate come to life. What if it was possible for those creations to become a reality and teach important life lessons? There is such a place, the little City of Auto, just off of County Road “B” in the State of Good.
In this wonderful world of cars, old friends get together to reminisce about the good old days. Many of them like Franklin, Morgan and the Professor even act as mentors for the younger generation. The Professor’s eccentric and inventive flair is also shared by this unique ocean side community. If you prefer the high-life you can hangout with sports car Johnny at Squeekies, the glitzy new carwash on the edge of town, or pay a visit to Maxine’s Detailing and Spa – Cali’s favorite pampering destination. Take in a classic movie with Miles at the drive-in or if you prefer the outdoors take a picnic in Memorial Park where the younger cars like EJ and Izzi play soccer. There is even a half-pipe skate park, a raceway and coming soon a Super Mall. Derek will tell you the RC Arcade is great place for fun and Maria spends a lot of her time on the off-road course. There is something for everyone in this thriving community and surrounding areas.
