1/2 oz of honey

Recently we were handed the key fob to the Range Rover Supercharged Sport SVR, an SUV that hangs the SVR badge subtly on the fenders and grill. The SVR or Special Vehicle Operations division creates special vehicles models that offer premium interior features, performance and handling upgrades. The Range Rover Sport SVR is a great deal more than just a badge, as we found driving it for a week.
Brad Fanshaw from Man Seeks Adventure was the lucky bastard of the group who had possession of this high-performance super SUV.
Being a high-performance car enthusiast the bar was set high. The first item of note was the subtle design that did not offend with too many scoops or ducts, it just appeared necessary. The interior showed just how a manufacturer can make a sport infused SUV look and feel with the use of leather, color contrast, quality carbon fiber and well appointed and placed accessories. This is all just an accent to the incredible torque laden performance and ear tingling exhaust note. The Range Rover Sport SVR is pleasant on the open road and a surface grabbing vehicle that puts you back in the seat when on the curves or in a straight line. It could be referred to as the ideal SUV for freeway on-ramp romps that leave a smile.
The Range Rover Sport SVR was worthy of being parked alongside legendary American muscle cars in my shop. This SUV was not just a pleasure to drive, but fun to put through the paces of performance. It looks good, no matter where you show up and can impress even your most skeptical friends.

Episode #23 (Air Date 09-22-16) EP.23 Monterey, CA The Cars, Bars, Parties & $4.8 million purchase!
If you listened to the show you know that the boys were virtually everywhere during this event! The parties, people and events are almost to long to list so we will give you some of the highlights that you should look for when you take your trip to this amazing affair!
Lets start with "Where to Stay?"
Lets be honest, this event is a billionaires playground. Like Monaco during the F1 Race this can get very pricey! Hotels are everywhere in and around the area but they usually book up months in advance and the rates are triple what they would be normally. We recommend renting a house or a condo instead. If you gather up a group of friends to attend the events and you all split the costs it will be money much better spent. We recommend either VRBO.com or AIRBNB.com.
What to Do?
Now that you have your accommodations squared away its time to head out and have some fun. With so many events happening at the same time and being spread out across a pretty wide area we recommend doing a little research first and highlighting the events you really want to see. Between the parties, the races, the auctions, and the cars you will be BUSY! Here is a list of some of the biggest events to keep an eye on:
The Roles Monterey Motorsports Reunion - This event is held out at the Mazda Raceway at Laguna Seca and features multi-million dollar, historic race cars dukeing it out on the track while trying not to damage these amazing museum pieces! Its a thrilling, celebrity packed affair held over three days and its definitely worth attending! Visit their website for a full schedule.
Auto Auctions - This is where the Big Boys buy their Big Boys Toys! Even if you can't afford to drop 17million on a vintage Ferrari you can watch the action at any one of these events.
Gooding & Company - This is the auction where Brad and Matt purchased the 4.4 million dollar Paul Newman race car for Adam Carolla.
Events - There is no shortage of events at this affair. Every day there are amazing parties and car shows to be a part of. Here is a list of some of the best.
