V&R Chat is back – just in time for the Holidays!

This edition will take place on Sunday, December 9 at 8:00PM Eastern Time (7:00PM Central) on Twitter. Please use the hashtag #VnRChat to follow and participate on Twitter. It is suggested to use a website or program – such as TweetChat – to get the full effect of the chat itself.

Because it is the Holidays, we will run into several parties that night. Do not worry. We will chat regardless…

On the agenda are as follows:

NEWS: A quick recap the L.A. Auto Show with a look forward to the North American International Auto Show in Detroit. Has L.A. fallen into a pattern of featuring green vehicles, as well as high-end ones?

IN THE V&R GARAGE: Randy talks about five vehicles that have taken residency at our Twin Cities' home: 2013 Lexus GS, 2013 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited, 2013 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport, 2013 Cadillac ATS and 2013 Lexus RX F-Sport. Better have your questions ready…

Plus, we will look back at the year in V&R (and Lavender Magazine). Reflect back on some of the stories and vehicles that made 2012 what it was.

HOLIDAY GIFTING: Randy contributed to Lavender Magazine's Holiday Gift Guide edition and came away with some interesting thoughts. We explore how the auto industry markets vehicles as gifts. We also explore some gift ideas for this year's Holidays – in honor of Top Gear's (UK) holiday episodes. No trees will be destroyed or studio lights taken out for this portion of the chat.

CHARITY: Part of the Holidays is charity. Car clubs, retailers and others are doing what they can to support the causes they believe in. We will delve into some examples and see what you are doing to support your favorite charity or cause during the Holiday season.

Log on Sunday – we will see you then!
