Thanks guys W16 & Andrewo.

I will probably not be staying overnight but still I am pretty excited for it.

Also, any good places to eat that isn't too expensive? (Lunch + Dinner)

One last thing, what is this Cars & Coffee event? Is it any good?

Don't waste your time going to it. It isn't very good. There are lots of cheap and expensive restaurants in the area so that won't be too much of a problem.


Alright thanks.

Well the Concours is the main event that day, then Gooding after, along with hanging around the polo fields. I don't think you can get into Pebble Beach without a ticket to the Concours, at least during the day, so I'm not sure what options you would have without spending money.

I've seen pictures of a Stirling Moss, Agera R, Huayra, etc. on Ocean Avenue in Carmel. What event is that and when is it?

Yepp, I saw all 4 there last year (2 Huayras). That was just Saturday in Carmel. Pretty much all day Saturday (mainly the evening) is exotics up and down Ocean Ave, just randomly driving. Most of the supercars that are there that week can be found on or around Ocean at some point that week, but Saturday is when you will be photobombed by other exotics you didn't even notice. You don't need to go looking, just stand around and they will come to you.

You don't even know yet. When people told me you don't stop seeing exotics, I thought they were exaggerating and I didn't think that many exotics could be in one place at one time. I was so wrong. If you're on Ocean, there's a 100% chance you can see an exotic in whatever direction you're looking, I kid you not.

Try to keep it together hahaha. But you soon become so overwhelmed by exotics that they seem normal. You see a 458 drive by and don't even look twice.

I think you can still go in to the city of Pebble Beach without a ticket to the show on Sunday. If you like classic cars at all I strongly recommend going to the Concours. It is the number one classic car event of the year and the most prestigious show in the world without a doubt.

My dad's friend who lives there and put us on the guest list said they don't allow tourist traffic on the day of the Concours. Although, I noticed a handful of spotters that were at Spanish Bay that day and I don't think went to the Concours. I don't know from experience, that's just what he told me so I don't know.

I might be wrong. I've noticed the guards don't really seem to care that much about anything on that day. They don't charge the toll either.

I'm going down on Friday after a thing I have to go to in San Francisco. I think I'll be out by 2 or 2:30, I'm not sure. I live about 2 1/2 hours away, but with traffic, I probably won't be there until about 6 or 6:30. Will there still be things to see at the Quail by then?

Probably not, but I didn't stay long enough to see when all the cars ended up leaving. The show officially ends at 4 and cars start filing out soon after, but there were still quite a few cars left when I left, like the Agera, Vitesse, Sesto Elemento and Urus, and Huayra.
