Only made it to the Peterson. Got a late jump on the day and ISM's rave review above didn't inspire me to try to hit both.
I enjoyed the Peterson. Besides the permanent installations (including a GEORGEOUS custom-built Mercedes touring car from the 50's), there is a "Rock and Roll" exhibit (two cars that Elvis owned, cars owned or once owned or driven in a video, etc - mostly boring crap that belonged in a road-side tourist trap). There were a few notable exceptions (Billy Gibbons [ZZ Top] Mercury was very nice!), but otherwise a waste of space.
There is also a Chip Foose (
Overhaulin') installation. I love his work; clean lines, attention to detail, not overdone.
I picked up some new
ear buds on the way there, courtesy (in part) of a gift card for Christmas. Got to listen to my choice of music for the experience (Ursula 1000, electronica, trance).
A nice way to spend four hours today!
