Pasadena is an upscale bedroom community of Los Angeles; some lovely homes there. The (stereotypical) joke was that if a car was bring driven by a "little old lady from Pasadena," it meant that she usually drove 5 mph to a DAR meeting or the beauty salon to have her hair done. A hot-rodding granny would have been the exception rather than the norm.
