Bergen County C&C's 2014 Kick-off Weekend Part 2

This was the second day of our double-header kick-off weekend and our first scheduled meet of the C&C season.  It's still a bit too early for many exotics and classic cars, but Sunday turned into American car day at C&C!  It was a bit colder than desired, but we're ready for spring.

 

 

Americana Manhasset Concours d'Elegance (main show)

I consider the 2012 Americana Manhasset Concours d'Elegance to be the best car show that I attended in 2012, so this one had been highlighted on my calendar ever since.  Finally, the day came around again this year on October 20th, and it did not disappoint.  In fact, the quality and quantity of automotive greatness on hand was overwhelming.  I cannot remember another day when my jaw literally dropped so much.  These pictures will not begin to do this great event justice, but it's the best I can do.  And I strongly advise putting Manhasset 2014 on the calendar as soon as possible.

Matching each Devils' player with a car

Some Twitter followers suggested that I do this "segue" post between Down Goes Avery and this, my new blog for gearheads.  So, I've come up with this helpful guide for each current Devils player, and the topic has been something I've actually been thinking about for a long time.  Based on their style of play, what kind of car should they be driving?  What car do they represent as a hockey player?


Johan Hedberg - It's not the most glamorous car on the road today, but it's a reliable, fun second sports car.  You always look forward to driving it and some people say you should drive it more often.  It's not only still good at its job, but it's still a very good performance car.  Still, it is aging a bit and it's never been your most exciting car.

Johan Hedberg's car is a used Camaro Z28.

Marek Zidicky - This car isn't as appreciated as it should be.  While it can perform with cars that are more expensive and more flashy, this car quietly gets the job done and can be pretty fast in the process.  The average person might laugh at this car, but it's actually quite good and a well-kept secret to those who don't pay attention.

Marek Zidlicky's car is a Cadillac CTS.

Adam Larsson - This is a brand new car that has potential to be revolutionary.  It's had some growing pains early in its production, but a lot of experts believe that this will be the next big thing.  It's already caught the eye of many, but there's still work to be done in order for this to be the high-end car it could become.

Adam Larsson's car is a Fisker Karma.
