Monterey Car Week, The Week That Was
Now that the dust has settled (figuratively and actually) and I'm almost back to normal I can look back on the past week and try to put it into perspective.
This year I made a schedule and for the most part I stuck to it. In past years I tried to do too much and ended up missing events I had wanted to see. This year I saw what I wanted and had enough down time to relax and breathe in some fresh ocean air.
Tuesday I went down for the day with a friend. We started off with the Concours On The Avenue. I used to circle around Carmel-By-The-Sea endlessly searching for a parking spot. Usually I ended up blocks away from the event. Last year and again this year I opted for the off-site parking and shuttle. It's the no hassle option. Although parking is free a donation is requested.
Next we went to the Classic Motorsports Monterey Kickoff Cruise-In on Lighthouse Ave. in Pacific Grove. PG (as the locals call it) is a good place for a smaller, friendly event.
I stayed home Wednesday and he…
