LA and lower is in Southern California. Torrance therefore is in SoCal.
It might be fun to do this actually but I don't know if I could live without my car for two days. Plus what if you don't like what they do..?

You guys should have really posted this a couple weeks ago when the car first came out. I had an xD sitting at my house for 2 weeks not doing anything. Just a couple weeks ago i took it up to Seattle and now it is doing nothing up there. I guess i missed out.
