Go to Compton, lock yourself out of car and at the top of your lungs yell, "I HATE BLACK PEOPLE". That should be fun for ya!

actually, just use the N-word when addressing all the friendly natives in that neighbourhood. You probably don't have to shout at all.

*Use of Kevlar vests, pants, or underwear recommended

Here's a few things I can think of:

1. Drive west on Sunset Blvd. from Hwy. 101 till it ends in Malibu....You will see the heart of Hollywood, the Sunset Strip, Beverly Hills, Bel Air, UCLA...it's a great drive....turn off of Sunset along the way and cruise the Hollywood Hills...and a trip along Mulholland Drive is great fun...and you will see L.A. from up high.

2. Eat at the Original Tommy Burgers....the best in L.A. (Beverly Blvd. and Rampart) right off the 101 Fwy.

3. For a great L.A. Beach, I'd pick Redondo Beach or Manhattan Beach....and there's lots of great restaurants and bars close to the Redondo pier.

Enjoy L.A. I'm one of the very few who loves this city...

It's my favorite burger. I especially like the one on Rosecrans Blvd in San Diego. They only offer burger, fries and shakes... none of that other goofy stuff. They grill the roll. I like that

My friends seem to think Fat Burger is better, they're stupid

I agree with Daddy Mention on all of the above.

#1 is a great ride. I love driving down Sunset all the way to Malibu.

If you're into museums, the Getty is not to be missed. My gawd, what a beautiful building. As you cross the 405 going towards the ocean, look up to your right. It's the huge white building perched on the side of the hill. You can take a jitney up from the Holiday Inn right there at Sunset and the 405. Beautiful view of the city. Great restaurant up there, too, for an evening meal.

I also love The Chart House in Malibu. Have never been without seeing a celebrity of some kind. (Last time, Johnny Carson was there.) Love driving up from Malibu to the Pepperdine campus. Great views.

I love the racetrack, too.

Rodeo Drive is fabulous. Ate at a great restaurant right around the corner from the old Georgio's (now Haymans, I think). Can't remember the name of it, but the food was great.

Got tix to Jay Leno. Waste of time.

Love the drive from Beverly Hills to the valley via Mulholland Drive.

Chateau Marmont is kewl, too, as is the Beverly Hills Hotel.

Sunsent Strip also needs to be experienced at night. So neat. Enjoy your time there. It's one of my all-time favorite cities.

Turn right and stop when you hit the Carolinas.

Or better yet, pick up BuffettBride and Groom and bring them to Vegas.
