Hi Friends!

 

Well, the time has finally arrived! This Friday, the next generation of Arizona Car Week begins and I got to say, this was hard! However, as we’ve talked about in this newsletter before, doing hard things is good and you should always try and do hard things. I very strongly believe that this mentality can save the world, I find it contagious and it’s something that I certainly try to consciously live my life thinking about.

 

Is everything going to go as planned over the next 2 weeks? Probably not. However, on the schedule for 2025, we have nearly 25 events and this within itself is definitely a victory. Between the four auctions, three driving events, 14 car shows, an art show, a concert, two seminars and of course, the Arizona Concours d’Elegance, the collector car community came together in an incredible way here and we have really put together something awesome. Additionally, in an effort to make Arizona Car Week as accessible as possible for as many as possible, 17 of these events are going to be free to attend.

 

If you’re planning on joining us January 17-26, we can’t wait to see you. If you’re on the fence, there’s still time and we hope you decide to make your arrangements soon. If you can’t make it this year, just keep paying attention. We’ll keep growing it and I’ll keep asking you here, how we can continue to make it better.

 

If you’ve been reading this newsletter for a while, you recall that a lot of the ideas that we brought to life for this originated from discussions had in this newsletter and the comments that followed.

 

Point is, this probably wouldn’t be happening without the input we received from you, so thank you all for that.
