That auto doesnāt get great reviews.
lambos and lotuses probably arenāt for you then. 
Well if I could afford either one I guess I could suffer a little? In the name of art

This would be wild for Tammy
But 6k is too much
However just the driving experience at 1450 is nice
I did the driving experience in 2012 or 13 forgot and it was 1350 I think and at Sonoma raceway
Was awesome
Meet at 830 at the lounge trackside
Hotel style bfast then 30 mins on aiming for the cones and the track layout and how to sit properly in an R8. (Was v8 then )
Then some cone courses in S4 then finally a 5 lap set think it was in the S4
Then a great lunch and the afternoon was four 5 lap sets in the R8
Great fun but by the 3rd set it was feeling like WORK for me and I had enough
This would be great for Tammy now sheās had 7 years behind the wheel
What Iām going to save for first is about 350 x 2 for two sets in Vegas one in a Ferrari and one in a lambo
Think Tammy will like that she can do the mambo lambo and I can do the Ferrari
She doesnāt like Ferrari because Enzo was a dick to ferrucio in the Ferrari lambo movie lol
They should pick October because this time of year in SF is horrible
Everyday all day fog and drizzle and temp in fifties at night and low too in day time
Horrible
Weather for an outside music event
Stupid fcuks who pick this time of year
Still sold out ands tons of people suffering so ā¦organizers donāt care
I only know Kendrick Lamar, Foo Fighters, and The 1975.
Rest look like filler, or maybe Iām old and out of touch.
Some of the headliners arrive and depart in a motor home/bus with police escorts
I wonder who got those besides maybe Lana del Rey
At least the sun seems to have poked itās head out now at 9am Sunday last day of the event
I hope everyone gets an awesome weather day as sometimes happens here in the sunset
They all be fillers to me
Wouldnāt pay a buck to see anyone of the line up
Meg thee Stallion? freaking Shaq?!
No idea
Saw that but it didnāt click. Assumed it was an ironic bandname.
I had another look and recognise Soccer Mommy from her NPR Tiny Desk concert. Also vaguely know Lana Del Ray.

Glad itās over Now I can cycle and drive through again
Unfortunately :
This is next
And will tie up the park till the end of august
At
Least itās free
Maybe I will go for a bit
Car week in monterey is on currently. Its a whole week of events some of which are very costly to attend. We are talking 1000 bucks or more or so. And some events are cheaper and/or free. There is one event that seems quite funā¦something like over a hundred private jets for sale that you can tour on the ground while sipping champagne,ā¦but that event costs something like a thousand bucks to attendā¦so passā¦Not looking to buy a private jet but will be fun to board a few on the ground just to see how it is? Last year I went and reported on here when i went for just a wednesday at the track where i saw a bunch of classic cars on the track and that was pretty cool. I did NOT take my TT because I thought just my prius will do. I am debating whether to spend this sunday (last day of the car week) and do a monterey run . Supposedly there will be lots of nice cars just flaunting about carmel and monterey to spot. Trying to get a bud to go with me as Tammy will be visiting Japan and Korea with a coupla friends (shes never been outside of at the airport during a transit) and that should be a fun ten days for her and company. A bud may go on the sunday drive to monterey with me and i may take the TT this time. At least the drive on highway 1 there and back should be more fun in the TT. However, if two of my friends (and i really only have two of those in these parts) decide to go we will have to Prius it as who wants to sit in the back seat of the TT ridiculous to even think of it, as its only fit for luggage or a small dwarf. Its about 220 miles round trip I think. The prius is expected to save 50pct of the expected 50 dollar gas bill so saving 25 bucks but then why have a TT and not use it ? Especially as the wifey will be away and nobody to stop me driving itā¦haha,ā¦hohoā¦heheā¦
who knows if i will even bother to goā¦should I? i mean it may be just a go just to go thing. and say that you have gone ?

didnt goā¦went to gym and went to see GRAN TURISMO instead. good flick, worth seeing.
My wifeās been wanting to get down that way, sheās never seen the Hearst place, but the weather isnāt exactly the best right now. 
The castle is still some distance further south of Monterey and yes they are having a once in a hundred years typhoon down there currently so this week probably wonāt be good
Iām not sure the SLO area got any rain from the storm.
Well we in Bay Area have nothing so far
Probably SLO is safe too
Down in that area we want to stay at the Allegretto vineyard resort in near by paso Robles one of these days
Weekday rates can be 250 ish but Friday and Saturday nights can be 3 to 4 times higher which is not worth it
Beautiful place
Apparently you can swim in the pool at the Hearst castle limited opening for a mere 1000 dollars currently
Crazy right ?
Gotta be a member too ($500/yr), so $1500 min.
For the truly insane
I can laze in my bathtub for the cost of the hot water
oh, and the pool isnāt even heated!
Hearst Castle, btw, was kind of disappointing to me. Itās a cool ass property and grounds, but the built quality is total shite. I guess itās cool to do once, but Iād rather hang out and watch the elephant seals, or head down to Morro Bay and watch the otters.
