Traffic aside, Monterey Car Week has given me some of the most profound drives of my life.
Monterey Car Week is the formal name for the colliding cavalcade of events that surround the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance each August in the Monterey Peninsula. While that classic car show is the core experience, all manner of ancillary events—displays, races, parades, sales, and rallies of vintage vehicles, as well as test drives of modern exclusive ones—have joined to create a days-long Bacchanal.
And I still kick myself for skipping an early morning opportunity to drive a friend’s 1931 V-16 Cadillac, because I’d partied too hard the evening before. While friends have experienced major breakdowns and even horrifying crashes during MCW, I have fortunately averted disaster. I attribute this to two factors. First, I know better than to push a vehicle during a Pebble Beach drive. The roads are crowded, surprises lurk everywhere, and local law enforcement is non-compliant.
