I don't think we have to worry about that too much. There are plenty of red ferraris and other exotics to keep the cops drooling 
It's not a good idea to speed through anywhere between Carmel and Monterey, but the police activity through Big Sur is generally pretty light. I think a meetup at Nepenthe with a bunch of 993's would be awesome.

I'm wondering if going too far from Monterey and parking a bunch of Porsches outside a trendy restaurant won't end up being a “CHP magnet" (pun intended) leading to a DUI check point a mile down the road.
As a long time attendee, I'd second Ken and Paul's restaurant lists. If you're going to drive to Big Sur, personally I'd go to Ventana or Post Ranch Inn, both have world class views but the food is much better than Nepanthe IMHO.

I don't think it is much of a problem, exotic cars in that area is NOT unusual at all. I wouldn't do anything careless or reckless, that will definitely attract attention, but a convoy of Porsche's, as long as they are driving safely, no.

Sit at the Oyster Bar...great fish...epic place.
Carmel has lots of great restaurants. Check out: http://www.carmelcalifornia.com/inde...rants_bars.htm
The above has lots of coupons/discounts.
My wife likes La Bicyclette in Carmel...me, I'd just as soon have a cheese burger and a beer or a coke, spend $10 for dinner instead of $75.

Screw the high dollar food, and go to Sly McFly's on Cannery row. Average pub/bar food, but excellent music !

Just following up, is anyone up for meeting Thursday afternoon/evening?
I will be heading up the coast Thursday morning. Meeting a few other P-cars somewhere along the Big Sur coastline would be a great way to pull into town. I don't really care where we go, but a $15 AmbrosiaBurger sounds like a good idea.
