    Is that the Hyatt Regency Newport Beach? That parking lot look's familiar from when we stayed there in '06.

    The Grand National would have been more time-machine worthy of the trip. But I sure hope you don't care what anyone thinks about the car you are driving by the time your 20th reunion rolls around.
