Post your Concours d'Elegance weekend sightings here!

Went for a run down to Carmel today just to see who would be on the road, but I've been seeing good cars all week.

Some cars I saw just today:

-six Porsche Panameras on Carmel Valley Road, later identified as their press fleet (Car and Driver drove one of them and blogged about it)
-Porsche Carrera GT
-Porsche Spyder (the "James Dean" model)
-Ferrari 599
-Ferrari 550 Maranello
-Ferrari F430
-Ferrari Testarossa
-five or six more Ferraris in a line on 101 around Greenfield
-Lamborghini Miura
-Chevy Corvette ZR1
-three or four Bentleys
-recent Maserati of some sort
-classic Alfa
-several classic American cars that I'm too young to identify properly
-two S2000's
-more Mustangs, lesser 'Vettes, and Miatas than you could count.

I had a nice clean run over Carmel Valley Road, too.

It would have been fun to go into the actual Concours, but $100 to get in didn't sound so appealing. I guess they have to keep the riff-raff out somehow.

I drive by the airport several times a week and see a lot of taxis around there, and there are actually a fair number of Accord Hybrid taxis! If you think about it, it's a much better choice than a Crown Vic. Much better mileage, better performance, better comfort, better reliability. You see some Camry hybrid taxis, too, and plenty of Escape Hybrids and even some Priuses. If you drive around all day and do a lot of sitting still waiting for a passenger, a hybrid is the ideal car.

I saw a White Lamborghini Countach pulled over on I-5 last night!

I was at the Quail Motorsports Gathering in Carmel on Friday and then Pebble Beach Sat & Sun. So many cars I was drooling over. I'll post pics later.

I was a temporary employee for the event. I've been doing this for about 4 years now. During the set up week there wasn't a day where I didn't see a Scuderia, a Bugatti, a Spyker, etc. To my surprise, Hyundai had its own tent with Genesis Coupes on display. But it didn't top the IS-F's Lexus had for show. I was lucky enough to spot a Carrera GT and a few McLaren's around.

Jay Leno was the host of an auction for the classic cars. Our Governor was there too but I missed him by mere seconds.
