How Is Disneyland Not The #1 Tourist Trap?
The Definitive Ranking of L.A.’s Tourist Traps
10. Disneyland
10. Disneyland
- Located just south of L.A. in Anaheim, Disneyland may technically be in Orange County but the pull of Mickey Mouse, Space Mountain (ahem, Hyperspace Mountain) and cotton candy is strong, and makes the short distance feel nominal for both tourists and locals. Sure, some criticize the high costs, lines and crowds — but none of Disneyland's pitfalls can outweigh the sheer magic of this amusement park experience. Whether you’re getting dizzy on the Teacups or getting dizzy on tropical drinks at California Adventure's Cove Bar, it's fun as hell for kids and grownups alike, even if you'll have to elbow a few Midwestern tourists along the way. 1313 Disneyland Drive, Anaheim. disneyland.disney.go.com.
Nice One, Porsche
The Secret Message Porsche Left For Honda In A 911 GT3 Test Car
When Acura was developing the NSX in its Ohio plant, it assessed the steering on a Porsche 911 GT3 after buying one just like any other customer would, NSX vehicle dynamics project leader Nick Robinson told Automotive News.
However, after the GT3 was recalled to repair an issue with the connecting rods, Porsche engineers were somehow able to figure out who bought the car after going through the information in its black box.
Robinson recalled that Porsche sent back the GT3 with a message under the engine cover that read: “Good luck Honda from Porsche. See you on the other side.”

sassy little note.
