Can’t access the internet at work? Had a busy day? Here’s a recap of the exciting cars, videos, and car culture accessories that you may have missed this week!
It’s a big week in the automotive world as Monterey Car Week kicked off and all sorts of classics and new concepts are on display in the beautiful California city. It’s also a time to go enjoy your local car shows, go for a cruise, and detail your car as it soaks up that awesome August sun. It was a busy week in the automotive world, and we had some special treats for you to enjoy. We’d also like to bid a fond farewell to Speed Channel, as it goes into the great big junkyard in the sky and Fox Sports 1 takes over. We loved your automotive shows and motorsports coverage, and will miss you.
