That made my day.https://streetculturecalifornia.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/dsc_0182.jpgDSC_0182The best was saved for last as I neared the end of the Ferrari section. Another one of the coolest Ferrari's besides the F40, and Daytona, of course; a Ferrari F50!https://streetculturecalifornia.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/dsc_0181.jpgDSC_0181There were also new Ferrari's. These F430's were lined up and it seemed like the line went for miles.https://streetculturecalifornia.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/dsc_0172.jpgDSC_0172And now we get to the good stuff, the quintessential Italian sports car, Ferrari. Here was a Ferrari 330. Later that day, I saw one fetch $400,000 at the RM auction. https://streetculturecalifornia.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/dsc_0165.jpgDSC_0165One of the first things that caught my eye was this: A Maserati MC12!! This was one of the first MC12's I have seen in over 2 years. I just stood there in awe of this awesome car.https://streetculturecalifornia.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/dsc_0281.jpgDSC_0281On the walk back to the hotel I spotted a lone BMW 650 under a street light.

I immediately knew then, that Monterey Car Week had officially begun.https://streetculturecalifornia.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/dsc_0138.jpgDSC_0138After a long first day in Monterey, it was time to park the cars and get some rest. Tomorrow: Concourso Italiano!!

I saw one parked at Pebble Beach last year, but to see one on the move was a whole other story.https://streetculturecalifornia.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/dsc_0098.jpgDSC_0098A block away from the aquarium, there was a line of about 5 McClaren's. This one still had the stickers from the GG2H rally.https://streetculturecalifornia.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/dsc_0087.jpgDSC_0087https://streetculturecalifornia.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/dsc_0083.jpgDSC_0083Jaguar F-Type's anyone?

I loved the "Access OK" stickers on the bumpers.https://streetculturecalifornia.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/dsc_0097.jpgDSC_0097There were so many nice sets of wheels I couldn'd decide which ones to post up, so I just took a random one. This was still a very nice set of fitted SSR'shttps://streetculturecalifornia.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/dsc_0108.jpgDSC_0108This was the nicest butt I saw out of the whole show (not including the models)https://streetculturecalifornia.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/dsc_0044.jpgDSC_0044While waiting for my staging time, I wandered into the main hall where the show was going to take place the next day. I took one look inside and was amazed by the size of the venue. https://streetculturecalifornia.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/dsc_0042.jpgDSC_0042In addition to a lot of JDM cars, there were some very clean looking Euro's.https://streetculturecalifornia.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/dsc_0016.jpgDSC_0016As the cars lined up, I had a chance to finally see what caliber of cars were going to be in the show. I was astounded as every car I saw was a showstopper, like this slammed Yaris.https://streetculturecalifornia.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/dsc_0013.jpgDSC_0013https://streetculturecalifornia.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/dsc_0207.jpgDSC_0207After the photo shoot, I wandered around some more. I am a fan of over-the-top cars and this Lexus GS, checked all the boxes for me. I loved it.https://streetculturecalifornia.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/dsc_0203.jpgDSC_0203As far as cool vinyl wraps went, this E46 M3 took it.https://streetculturecalifornia.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/dsc_0178.jpgDSC_0178About midway through the show I decided to have an impromptu photo shoot with my car... it didn't turn out to great. 2013-07-30T17:49:57+00:00monthlyhttps://streetculturecalifornia.com/2013/06/07/wasiannsxs-acura-nsx/2013-07-30T15:52:52+00:00monthlyhttps://streetculturecalifornia.com/2013/07/09/cung-phams-shrek-g35/2013-07-19T21:31:26+00:00monthlyhttps://streetculturecalifornia.com/2013/07/09/the-p1s-little-sister-mclaren-mp4-12c-spider/2013-07-09T20:35:13+00:00monthlyhttps://streetculturecalifornia.com/2013/06/18/the-new-standard-mclaren-p1/https://streetculturecalifornia.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/dsc_0263.jpgDSC_0263The rear of the car looks like somthing straight out of a SciFi movie; somthing that would be more comfortable in outer space.https://streetculturecalifornia.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/dsc_0260.jpgDSC_0260https://streetculturecalifornia.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/dsc_0252.jpgDSC_0252These 390mm disc and massive calipers on the P1 enable the car to brake at an astonishing 2g's.https://streetculturecalifornia.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/dsc_0250.jpgDSC_0250https://streetculturecalifornia.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/dsc_0301.jpgDSC_0301https://streetculturecalifornia.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/dsc_0295.jpgDSC_0295https://streetculturecalifornia.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/dsc_0290.jpgDSC_0290The looks of the car look somewhat like the MP4-12c, but with one major difference. All the lines are exagerated and the scoops and wings are bigger, much bigger.https://streetculturecalifornia.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/dsc_0287.jpgDSC_0287The interior of the car was not very impressive. It was like the MP4-12c, with lots of suede and carbon accents. But if anyone is going to may near $1,000,000 for a car, I would expect the interior to show it,https://streetculturecalifornia.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/dsc_0284.jpgDSC_0284The rear spoiler on the car was so big it almost looked like a couple could have a nice picnic on it . Coming from auto racing I know how much a wing can make a difference and well, bigger is better isnt it?2013-06-18T15:40:42+00:00monthlyhttps://streetculturecalifornia.com/2013/06/04/montecito-cars-and-coffee-6-2-13/https://streetculturecalifornia.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/dsc_0187.jpgDSC_0187I usually bring my NSX to the Cars and Coffee and this was the first time I have ever seen another NSX in Montecito.

It was also being driven by and acquaintance of mine.https://streetculturecalifornia.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/dsc_0153.jpgDSC_0153It was also nice to see some fellow Mini owners out there as well.https://streetculturecalifornia.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/dsc_0140.jpgDSC_0140https://streetculturecalifornia.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/dsc_0134.jpgDSC_0134I was surprised that more than one classic T-Bird showed up.

It is one of my favorite cars on the market today aside from the MP4-12C .https://streetculturecalifornia.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/dsc_0026.jpgDSC_0026As the cars started to roll in, this C1 'vette caught my eye.https://streetculturecalifornia.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/dsc_0022.jpgDSC_0022This was my favorite car of the weekend. It was an AC Cobra, and from what I had heard, it was also a continuation model; not a kit car.https://streetculturecalifornia.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/dsc_0012.jpgDSC_0012Another newer car coming to the Cars and Coffee is my fathers 86 Lotus Esprit HCI.

Gorgeous lines and an amazing red interior to boot.https://streetculturecalifornia.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/dsc_0204.jpgDSC_0204Over the years, Porsches have slowly grown on me. Even though the flat 6 engines and rear wheel drive are an odd setup for a sports car, Porsche manages to pull it off.https://streetculturecalifornia.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/dsc_0198.jpgDSC_0198In addition to new ferrari's, there were some classics; including this amazing looking 250 Spider.https://streetculturecalifornia.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/dsc_0194.jpgDSC_0194https://streetculturecalifornia.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/dsc_0191.jpgDSC_0191As soon as I walked up to this Austin Healey 100 I noticed it wasn't the stock engine.https://streetculturecalifornia.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/dsc_0190.jpgDSC_0190https://streetculturecalifornia.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/dsc_0188.jpgDSC_0188By the time my father and I arrived, the street was already packed with carshttps://streetculturecalifornia.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/dsc_0256.jpgDSC_0256I caught a glimpse of these clean looking brakes on this RUF Porsche Cayman.https://streetculturecalifornia.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/dsc_0255.jpgDSC_02552014-10-06T04:58:26+00:00monthlyhttps://streetculturecalifornia.com/2013/04/18/moss-motors-and-the-healey-club/https://streetculturecalifornia.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/dsc_0338.jpgDSC_0338The showroom was packed with people and it was one of the busiest days that we have ever seen.https://streetculturecalifornia.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/dsc_0325.jpgDSC_0325https://streetculturecalifornia.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/dsc_0322.jpgDSC_0322https://streetculturecalifornia.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/dsc_0320.jpgDSC_0320https://streetculturecalifornia.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/dsc_0315.jpgDSC_0315https://streetculturecalifornia.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/dsc_0311.jpgDSC_0311In addition to "big" Healey's there were also some little healeys like this one.
