This year marks our sophomore year of pilgrimage to the California central coast for Monterey Car Week and we're beyond excited. And once again we're putting together a list of events we think exemplifies the cars, the culture, the events and the people that make this week the best on the calendar.

You may think that shelling out 500 bucks for a car show is way too much, and maybe you’re right. But if you’re an automobile or motorcycle enthusiast, then The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering is more than just a car show; it’s one of the greatest events you’ll ever attend in your life – period.

As promised last year we made a valiant effort to attend this years' Monterey Car Week otherwise known as holy week to automobile enthusiasts. One of the premier events any first-timer has to attend is the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. This stage plays host to the most exquisite vehicles in the world. The crowd is seduced with polished chrome, perfect paint, untouched leather, and the spectacular views to Stillwater Cove.

Carmel by the Sea is the perfect sleepy town backdrop to gather your friends and family and look at some amazing automobiles, but don't just come for the cars.

True to form, Monterey Week is back in full swing this August and we've been anticipating it since last year when we provided 'remote' coverage of the festivities . Well this year is a game changer because we'll be part of the experience covering the action. With that in mind, we break down some of the signature events.
