How To Survive Monterey Car Week — Carmu...

Hagerty Media
About this episode

Carmudgeons made it through unscathed! 


Jason's Honda Beat didn't — it wound up getting towed 148 miles home using Hagerty Roadside Assistance. Instead, the well-traveled Rover 3500 SD1 provided Jason's transportation needs. Derek relied on his reliable Citroën CX.


The week is a nonstop celebration of cars, with literal dozens of events from manufacturer debuts and parties to single-marque car shows like the Werks Porsche Reunion to single-country shows like Legends of the Autobahn or Concorso Italiano. Then, of course, there's the Quail, a Motorsports Gathering, the Little Car Show, the Grassroots Motorsports kickoff party, Motorlux at the Monterey Jet Center, auctions by Broad Arrow, RM Sotheby's, Gooding, and Barrett-Jackson — to name just a few.


And that's not even mentioning the Concours itself, or the 2 weeks of nonstop vintage racing at Laguna Seca.


It's impossible to see even half of the events during car week — but here's a guide to surviving the most amazing car week of the year.
