It's "Car Week" in Monterey and today, Aug 19, is the Day Before the Big Day. The Big Show is the Concours d'Elegance in Carmel. Hundreds of millions of dollars worth of exotic cars descend on the Monterey Peninsula. Lots of car auctions to go spend your money on, too.

For all of us mere mortals, you can attend "CONCOURS D'LEMONS," an ugly oil stain on the Monterey and Pebble Beach Auto Week. It ended a couple hours ago, though.

It's like a Disneyland for grown-ups! Here are today's events:

MECUM AUTO AUCTIONS: MUSCLE CARS & MORE
ROLEX MONTEREY MOTORSPORTS REUNION
CONCORSO ITALIANO
PEBBLE BEACH RETROAUTO
RM SOTHEBY’S MONTEREY. Their flagship Monterey sale, held during the world-famous Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance week, continues to raise the bar for collector car auctions year after year.
PEBBLE BEACH CLASSIC CAR FORUM
MONTEREY MOTORSPORTS FESTIVAL
EXOTICS ON BROADWAY, Seaside
ANNUAL FERRARI OWNERS CLUB GATHERING
GOODING & COMPANY'S PEBBLE BEACH AUCTION

The Big Daddy is tomorrow, Aug 20:
PEBBLE BEACH CONCOURS D'ELEGANCE

My son and I went a few years back and it was fantastic. We got to Ocean Ave in Carmel very early on Sunday for breakfast and watched the huge parade of cars after they had completed their run down the coast to Big Sur.

I’ve never been to the Concours before, but I’ve been to Carmel and Pacific Grove at the time.

Or as I call it: “High Holy Week” for car owners.
