CAM’S ON HIS ANNUAL ROAD TRIP TO CAR WEEK IN MONTEREY
Roadsters abound this weekend, with a little something waiting for every car enthusiast
The days are getting shorter but summer’s not over yet. This weekend offers up a number of great events across the province, but I’ll be out of town for my annual road trek south to check out Speed Week at Bonneville then on to the Monterey Peninsula for Car Week.
If you’ve never been to that latter carnut showcase, it’s high time you struck it off your bucket list. There are shows and events for all tastes, from the Little Car show of micro, mini and arcane vehicles to the Prancing Ponies Car Show and of course, the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance.
This is such a great week instead of bringing just a kid … bring a kid and your dad and have three generations of fun at the epic Car Week.
