Exactly! The car community is resilient. We can even do watch parties with car shows or drives in our local areas.

I would miss the in-person interactions, though. It’s like a family reunion for car lovers. Anyone know alternatives that have worked in the past?
I think many enthusiasts would appreciate an online showcase of rare cars. It would allow everyone to participate without strain on travel budgets.

I hope it’s not cancelled! But if it is, I guess we’ll just have to hit up our classic cars instead. A little drive always lifts the spirit!
I wish someone would start a meme for this—‘When you realize Monterey might be off the table this year!’ Now that could lighten the mood!
Absolutely! It’s always about the love for cars, right? But will that be enough to replace the buzz of Monterey?

Even if it gets cancelled, the love for cars will always keep us connected. It’s essential that we find a way to celebrate our shared passion.
For sure! Maybe we can start a social media challenge? Post your favorite car pics from past Monterey events!
I’ve heard whispers about Monterey Car Week being canceled this year due to ongoing safety concerns. This could have far-reaching effects on logistics for future events. What are the thoughts on this?
That sounds right, Joseph. If it’s officially canceled, I wonder how it will influence other automotive events. Will they up their safety protocols as well?

It’s disheartening, but maybe we need to rethink how we do these large gatherings. If Monterey is gone, where do we go from here?
I agree with you, Linda. This could set a precedent for more restrictive measures at future car shows. It’s almost like we have to weigh the joy of the event vs. the risk involved.
Let’s not forget about the economic impact as well. Local businesses depend on Car Week. What happens to them if it doesn’t happen?

True, Cain! This cancellation can ripple out far beyond just car enthusiasts. The planning for 2024 might require more funding to bolster safety measures.
I wonder how event organizers will handle logistics differently moving forward? Could we see a shift towards virtual components?
Virtual events can be fun, but they don’t replace the in-person experience! However, they might be safer alternatives for the time being.
What if all major car events took a break? That could lead to a serious shift in community engagement within the collector car world.
That’s a valid point, David. But I also think people will find a way to connect, even if it’s not in a traditional sense.
With all this talk, can we make a contingency plan for next year? What’s everyone thinking?
