This week the center of the car universe is Carmel, Calif.
Monterey Car Week and its crown jewel, the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, mixes executives from the top brands (Bugatti, Aston Martin, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Bentley, Rolls-Royce, say) with that special breed of car collector who doesn’t hesitate to drop a cool million on a pretty Sunday driver. There’s also the Quail Motorsports Gathering, the $600-per-ticket lawn party on Friday that sold out weeks ago to fans undoubtedly anticipating its famously lavish provisions of fresh oysters, champagne, and wood-boxed cigars. All the better for ogling the curves of those vintage European sportsters dotting the grass, my dear.
