This weekend was car weekend on the Monterey peninsula, and I just wanted to vent/brag about what an amazing weekend it was... I live here, so I get to see it every year, but this year was more impressive. By today, a ferrari wasn't even an exciting sighting. Over the course of the weekend, on the streets I saw 2 Lamborghini Diablo's (my favorite being the orange one with the vanity plate "Clk Wrk"), a few countachs, a Z8, vipers, lotuses, an nsx, countless ferraris... My favorite, however was the McLaren F1 parked behind the bookstore downtown. Man, that is an amazing car (0-60, 3.1 secconds).

This doesn't even begin to get into the auctions and shows around town that were going on. Even more impressive cars available if you wanted to pay to see them. Unfortunatly my knowledge of classic cars is limited, so I don't appreciate them as much...

I'm recomending this for next year's california empeg meet -- Just being here turns anyone into a car person for a few days. I'd be willing to organize, as I know the area.
