Re: Sonic Automotive, Inc. — Registration Statement on Form S-3 (Reg. No. 333-160452)

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Pursuant to Rule 461 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, Sonic Automotive, Inc. and its subsidiaries named as Co-Registrants in the above-referenced Registration Statement, as guarantors (collectively, the “Registrants”), hereby request that the effectiveness of such Registration Statement be accelerated so that it shall become effective as of 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time, on August 10, 2009, or as soon practicable thereafter.

The undersigned acknowledges that:

 

   

should the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) or the staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, declare the filing effective, it does not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to the filing;

 

   

the action of the Commission or the staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, in declaring the filing effective, does not relieve the Registrants from their full responsibility for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the filing; and

 

   

the Registrants may not assert staff comments and the declaration of effectiveness as a defense in any proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the federal securities laws of the United States.

 

Very truly yours,
SONIC AUTOMOTIVE, INC. AND THE OTHER REGISTRANTS

/s/ Stephen K. Coss

Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary of Sonic Automotive, Inc. and authorized officer of each other Registrant
