"I wonder how many of those flying in and out of Monterey in their private jets last week thought twice about that, or even once, and if they connected the dots that their flight to the coast helps fuel the crisis that they are perhaps trying to escape.”—David Schmalz, #MontereyCountyNow

Greetings from Monrerey, where you might see me wheeling around in this pre-production Bentley Continental GT First Edition, a plug-in hybrid with 771 horsepower. The satin green is turning a lot of heads, which is hard to do out here this week!

Been a hectic few days already so apologies for the lack of updates from yours truly, but you'll read all about it in some great outlets soon enough. #bentley #carweek

For the record, I have been biking to work this week...
