"Honk honk, I'm drivin' heah! Actually, make that I'm appreciatin' automotive history heah, at the ever-entertaining Orinda Classic Car Show. Now in its 21st iteration, this annual event gathers nearly 200 vintage automobiles some mint condition, others showing signs of many good years on the road for aficionados to lovingly appraise, and for members of the public to gawk at while murmuring, vroom vroom."

"The theme for 2025 is American versus British classics, so be prepared to ogle Aston Martins, Bentleys, Rolls-Royces and other cars that'd make James Bond lift an eyebrow. When the unbridled roar of American muscle cars collides with the refined performance of British engineering, the result is nothing short of automotive magic, the fest organizers promise. It's more than a head-to-head showdown it's a celebration of two automotive cultures at their finest."
