Monterey Car Week isn’t what it used to be—and that’s not a bad thing, depending on who you ask. The genteel, wine-and-cheese concours vibe is giving way to a new era of carbon fiber chaos, lifestyle flexing, and influencer-driven hype. From $1M+ one-off boutique builds (it’s not just Singer anymore—dozens of shops are chasing “ultra-exclusive” status) to sky-high ticket prices and an endless sea of YouTubers, the car world is being redefined in real time.
Tim recaps his Monterey adventures (plus his shocking purchase of a 1954 Triumph TR2—Egad, not a 911… what will Paul say!?). We debate whether Chinese EVs could spell the downfall of Porsche, BMW, and the European car industry as we know it. We also call out the rise of “safe” car journalism and the flood of shallow influencer content drowning the real enthusiasts.
It’s raw, fun, and maybe a little controversial—but that’s exactly how we like it.
