Monterey Car Week starts less than 7 weeks from now. It should be a great week for classic car lovers, all others should probably not be in the Monterey area that week.

You will not be able to attend most of the events or maybe not even all of the events you want to attend – so choose carefully the events on your list. And plan on spending more time in traffic and looking for a parking space than you anticipate.

Exotics on Cannery Row the fastest growing event of the Monterey week has moved and will be held on Broadway Street in Seaside this year. Congrats to Seaside for stepping up and making this possible. Cannery Row, well your streets will be empty this year and parking will be wide open.
Cannery Row is going to have some Dodge event on the 17th. Imagine the surprise of the tifosi when they motor over there in their Ferraris only to be surrounded by Hemi Cudas and the like! I think if the complaint I heard about last year experiencing rowdiness. I wonder how this new crowd scores in that department?
