6108 Venice Blvd. ~ Los Angeles, CA 90034 ~ 323-933-6471 (Ask for Oscar)

Albert Einstein predicted the advent of time-travel, but we hardly understand what he was on. It's much easier for us to step into Car Expo on Venice Blvd. and LaCienega to be transported back to the vestiges of the 70's that we remember from the early 80's. An old-skool Coke machine, wood paneled walls, and truly heinous curtains are just small pieces of the big timewarp puzzle. It is one giant Proustian madelaine for the Max Headroom generation. Oh yeah, they'll give you a smog check too.
