Sponsored by Cadillac and Montecristo.

I received a mail invite, I quote:

"Join a very select group of guests to experience a collection of the season's best cars, and an appreciation of the best in cigars. Enjoy expert insights provided by renowned master blender Jose Seijas -- the cigar maker's cigar maker. In addition, you will receive a fine cigar-lover's gift to take home."

Apparantly, this involves a showing of BMW, Lexus, Mercedes, and Cadillac. It's at Marine Corps Air Station, El Toro on Sat 10/29. I can only imagine that they got my name from some cigar freebie that I sent off for (and prolly never got!)

Anybody know what this is all about? Anybody planning on going?

Got the same thing in the mail. Ain't goin'. They won't be handing out the Montecristos I like.

See if they let you put the racecar on the track 🙂

go and have fun. leave your credit cards at home.

when the pitches start about buying this or that, DO NOT SPEAK. nod your head, shrug you shoulders.

you will quickly be ignored by the salesmen and you can enjoy whatever is there.

if you can't drive there in your own car, but rather they take a group by bus. stay away, they locked you in.

Ah, just tell them that you're a CPA. They'll run away from you.

Went to the Cigar/Cadillac summit on Sat. and I would recommend it to anyone who has a chance to go.

Cigars: Montecristos were the brand of the day. MC Whites were given out, as well as a gift sampler box of 3 different torps: regular, platinum, and white.

Cars: Drive 'em like you stole 'em! They had the cones set up and I got to thrash the likes of Cadillac CTS, STS, XLR, and the SUV's. Also drove a BMW 325 so hard thru the slalom that the brake smell followed me home. It was a blast.
