Highway 50. Source.
- Drive Highway 50 in Nevada, the Loneliest Highway in America.
- Huge Maserati collection at the Riverside International Automotive Museum.
- Shelby Museum in Las Vegas.
- Cars & Coffee in Irvine.
- Canada Grand Prix.
- Monterey Car Week.
If I'm really lucky and end up visiting the South, I want to do the following:
- Panoz factory tour.
- BMW factory and museum tour in Spartanburg.
- Microcar Museum.
If any of you have ideas or tips about other car related events (preferably in California), let me know! Of course, I will share my pictures and thoughts here.

Hwy 50 is beautiful, make sure to get your book stamped at each town and you can send it in to receive a "I survived the loneliest road in America" certificate. Also, along the way on the north side is a big tree full of shoes for some reason, I haven't been able to figure out why.
Lemme know when you're headed to C&C, I make the trip up with some gearhead friends frequently.
@Alan: Do you know where I can find a schedule?
It happens pretty much all summer. Show up around 6:30AM and stick around till about 8:30 to watch the cars leave - the cop keeping guard is pretty cool about letting the exotics do a bit of wheelspin and hard acceleration up to a point.
Hope to see you there, let me know when you're gonna go.
Oh, on Saturdays.
I love the highways of the west. I drove through Monument Valley in Utah last year. I had waited years to be able to do so. Unfortunately it was in a Toyota Corolla and not a bad ass classic caddy as I had always envisioned.
If you get a decent rental in Spartanburg you may want to make the 3 hour (according to google maps) trip over to Tail of Dragon in Tennessee.
@F1O: If I can get a good deal on a V8 rental (like a Mustang or Camaro or dare I dream a Caddy), I may use that on Highway 50.
Any thoughts on this weekend in Turkey? Pirelli is saying 4 stops may be needed. Plus, it may rain.
