Although I live only 90 minutes from Monterey this is the first time I've actually spent more than a day at Monterey Car Week. One of the main reasons I haven't is because price gouging is the norm ($800 a night for a room at the Best Western) but this time we got free tickets for Saturday at Laguna Seca and Sunday at Pebble Beach, so we figured, 'eh, what the hell, let's do it.' (We also attended the Werks Reunion on Friday, but we brought my wife's 968 instead of my 914).
Anyway, I was pleasantly surprised to see the Murene at Laguna Seca. That was an unexpected treat. It was parked alongside a whole bunch of Bring a Trailer alumni cars:    |

I really don't know much about the 916 but according to the Porsche 916 Info site there were 11 in total. The blue one on display at Pebble Beach is number 0017 and was owned by Dr. (Hans) Michael Piëch. I say 'was' because the placard for the 916 said the car is now owned by Todd Blue of Malibu, CA  |
