I was in Monterey for a few shows during their Car Week in the run up to the Pebble Beach concours. SO MANY AWESOME CARS but I'll highlight one of the ones I came here for.

A 2001 BMW E46 M3 GTR road car. One of only six built and one of three still in this condition. The last time one of these was in North America it was for its world debut at the 2001 Petit Le Mans but even then it was only shown for an hour before shipping back to Germany. This was one of the most beautiful cars I've ever seen. Here she is waiting to be packed up after the final day of the Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion at Laguna Seca. Something about seeing it in the paddock at a race track makes it that much better...

I went to a show about an hour from here called VW Festival on Sunday, my first proper car show in six years! A few of my favourite shots...







Check out the full album here. It's not all slammed cars for those not into that. It mostly is, but there's some other stuff in there too.
 
Went out to a somewhat local cruise night with my parents and brother, so naturally, I took some pics.

First off, our ride(s):

My favorite shots:








Do you have sticks as legs? :P Use your knees man!! Nah just kidding, but I would take the photos from a bit lower, I have the feeling I am looking down on the cars, but it could be me.. And photo 3, your own shadow is in there. Keep it up!

edit;
Like a post above, Katiegan, I mean from that perspective it is nicer to look at a car (not always)

Thanks for the tips Carlos, I'll work on it. :P

I need a real camera. :lol:
 
Saw this beautiful Corolla GTS at a local toyota dealership, i don't know if its for sale but the paper in the windows says that cars are for looking at only. It was manual and the interior was super clean but there was too much glare to take a picture of the inside.

High Rollers Car Club had their monthly cruise once again and I was there doing my part as both ambassador for my car and ambassador for my start-up photography page.

I'll spare the bandwidth as there were over 100 photos taken between the 3 meet points I was at but instead will include the more interesting rides.

Honestly, I expected this place to be bigger than it is, considering the epic history of the marque, but it's still very cool. I hope everyone of you visits this sacred place for Ferrari fans sometime. ;)

Near the place where the Lambos are born - the Lamborghini factory - I spotted two Aventadors performing a test run, and then returning back into the gates. One of them was pink and filmed, lol.

went to a Concourse De Elegance car show yesterday, and it happened to be in my hometown this year. People throughout the state came. Most of the cars there were classics.

Heres the highlights of the show:
