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. == The Carmudgeon Show is part of the Hagerty Podcast Network.

Car week in Monterey California is regarded by many as one of the greatest automotive events in the world. From the gathering at the Quail Lodge, to the Concorso Italiano and Porsche Werks Reunion, to the Lawn at Pebble Beach, this is where the best automobiles in the world come to be showcased. Then there are the auctions, like RM Sotheby's and Gooding & Company, who temp bidders to part with their millions for a chance to own the world's best. On the flipside family events like the Concours d'Lemons is where the best of the worst takes center stage. If, however, the sanctioned events aren't your thing, then hell - just grab a lawn chair and head to Carmel by the Sea and watch everything from a 10-million-dollar McLaren F1 to a cherry 1957 Chevy roll by. This week on the Hemmings Hot Rod BBQ Podcast, host Mike Musto sits down with Hemmings cohorts Mike Austin and Rob Einaudi to talk about their experiences ogling the best of the best on four wheels.
