Drive the Ferrari to work? The Aston Martin to dinner? The Rolls to the opera?
Such choices weren’t always possible in Los Angeles, unless you were a Jay Leno-type aficionado. That changed last summer with the opening of Fast Toys Club in Brentwood. Slap down $30,000 for an annual membership and get 100 days a year to cruise the town in speedy style from a fleet of exotics and racecars.

Usher in the Year of the Sheep with a number of events throughout Los Angeles’ sizable Chinese community. Chinatown in downtown L.A. is the hub of activities, but other neighborhoods will have their own celebrations and events as well.
The Midnight Temple Ceremony is where thousands gather to make offerings to the deities, set off firecrackers to awaken the spirits, and burn incense to usher in good fortune for the new year. Participants include lion dancers, Buddhist and Taoist monks, heads of family associations, and many others from the Southern California Chinese community. This tradition takes place on the eve of Chinese New Year’s Day and is typically followed by several days of return visits to the temple for blessings and public celebrations.
