Super Autobacs is now DMV

Drove by where super autobacs used to be, looks like they are turning it into a DMV. Like polar opposites on the scale of stuff to do to for your car. That have me a smile so I shared it.

My apology for responding to this old topic.
I used to live near by and I remember meeting so many club4ag members in person at this parking lot.
I just google map that place and noticed that mall is completely empty now...no signs of other stores nor restaurant.
...pretty sure that this photo was taken on Sunday afternoon or something...is this place still dead like below ?? (just curious)

I used to meet Son Tran who does amazing wheel repair in this lot after Autobach's closed its doors. He did work out of this lot up until last year I believe. He now has a building somewhere I think.

Hey Haru! Well every time I drive by there it looks pretty dead, but I usually only drive by on the weekends. Pretty funny in the Google maps pic you showed above, red hatch with hood popped lol. I will have to go by there for a quick picture now that my hatch is back on the road. Hope all is well over there, the Starlet is looking sweet!

Happy belated new year.
I am doing fine in ice cold Tokyo ...thanks for asking.
That red car in the google map looks like he is having his one & only show off in that empty parking lot.
Remember? there were so many cars that was doing same thing when Autobacs was there? (I can't believe that is already more than 7 years ago...)

Missing the SoCal car life very much..EXCEPT for the SMOG CHECK! :mrgreen:
