Any good stops?

(Hope I posted in the right section of north/south Cali) All the way from alberta here. Wife's on a business trip in Newport Beach and we spent a few days at Disney and universals first. I have 2-3 days to kill now that her course will start Monday and I googled shops such as rbp and what not for neat places to visit. I'm into diesels, off-roading, hot rods, drags, and of course fords. Any noteworthy stops to see that's not too far from Newport??

I'd recommend the Peterson automotive museum, but they're closed for renovation. Nethercutt is a bit further if you have time,

3 Amazing Car Museums in Los Angeles | Travel Tweaks

Mullin is only open weekends and by advance reservation. Mullin Automotive Museum

If you have wheels, take a drive up the 1 to see the best drive in the area. Stop for fresh fish and a brew at Neptunes Net and watch the surf. Neptune's Net Seafood Restaurant - Official Website | Neptune's Net Seafood Restaurant ? Official Website

Not far from your hotel are the Tar Pits and LACMA museum. Not auto related, but interesting.

Man, you had a chance to hit the WinterNationals in Pomona this weekend, a mere 25-30 miles away. If not, espn had many hours of coverage.

Nothing like the drags for those into POWER!
