Monterey Weekend

[caption id="attachment_3876" align="aligncenter" width="640"] Known simply as "the Quail"[/caption] After two days strolling through the dream-scape that is Monterey weekend. Corky Coker and Wade Kawasaki know two things already, wear good shoes and stay prepared to be amazed. This is the world renowned week of priceless classic vehicles, historic races and stacks of top-shelf car auctions that culminates with the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. The Concours at Pebble Beach is regarded by many as THE Concours d'Elegance. In fact, the entire week of sights and sounds of Monterey, California set the automotive media on fire across the country. Some of the finest collector cars in the world are on hand throughout the week alongside many of the rarest and wildest high performance exotic cars ever created. This is one of the finest gatherings of collector automobiles in the world, and it happens every year! It's stunning to see so many incredible vehicles and humbling to see so many of our tires and wheels on many of them. Cars shows, auctions, races and the incomparable Concours d'Elegance make this one awesome place to be for car guys and gals! Enjoy a few pictures from the first couple of days in Monterey, California.
