Besides the glitterati, auctions and historic races, Pebble Beach weekend always provides memorable sightings, quips and incidents. This year's low, er, highlights:

"Come on you guys, we have three grand raised; that's as much as the [speeding] ticket you got today.''

-PR person to bidders in a charity raffle held midway through the Running of the Bulls, a Lamborghini drive up California's Highway 1.

"I can't even buy a hat with $50.''

-Young Steven Wadsworth, son of Concorso Italiano owners/organizers Jack and Leslie Wadsworth.

"Man, am I glad I came to work today!''

-Overwhelmed gas station attendant who happened to be on duty when nearly 20 Lamborghinis pulled in. Peter Gorzelitz, Automobili Lamborghini chief of marketing, even gave him a ride.
