Koenigsegg at Universal Autosports

Christain von Koenigsegg came to visit us the week before we brought the CCX to the World Class Driving event in Florida. It was a great pleasure to meet the man behind this amazing automobile. He’s very personable. He’s obviously very knowledgeable, but he also asks questions and is genuinely interested in the knowledge that we’ve gained about his own car. We had a lot of input for him, and working with him to adequately prep the car was like a dream come true. While new to America, Koenigsegg has been around for over a decade. But even still, Christain is very passionate about every example that has left his factory. He tended to the CCX that we have here like it was his own child. He’s very animated when talking – or listening to us talk – about this car. Anyone can see that he’s put his heart and soul into the car that bears his name.

The Finer Things In Life - Vulcan Motor Club

What’s the difference between a Ferrari and a Volvo? What’s the difference between a Rochefoucauld and a Timex? What’s the difference between a Monet and a paint-by-numbers? For some people, a car is just a car; a watch is just a watch; and a painting – irrespective of the artist – is just another canvas upon which seemingly dull acrylics have been poorly splashed. But for others, the difference between cars yields vast meaning. Performance, style, heritage – and emotion. For some people, a Timex just doesn’t yield the quality and panache worthy of gracing their wrist. And sometimes, though I give her credit, Georgia O’Keefe just can’t replace Dali’s Persistence of Time hanging in the foyer. Those who just can’t bring themselves to compromise on these things – often revered as necessities – have a deep appreciation for the finer things in life.

The owners and staff at Vulcan Motor Club are all too familiar with the finer things – and the lifestyles they accompany. That’s why they celebrated these things – these epicurean amenities – in an evening dedicated to those who indulge in life’s lavish pleasures. Occupying the luxurious Trump National Golf Club, Vulcan invited a select 250 bon vivants to revel in the splendor of those things that aren’t so easily attained. Perhaps perceived by outsiders as sybaritic grandiloquence, this wasn’t simply an orgy of wealth. Rather it was a carefully crafted network of like-minded ladies and gentlemen, sharing an evening devoted to the appreciation of discerning opulence.

The cars for instance… Vulcan is a privately-owned, membership-based automotive club whose constituents are impassioned motorists. Not satisfied with what can be had at just any dealer, Vulcan’s members are in constant pursuit of evocative driving experiences. Ferrari, Lamborghini, Bugatti, Maserati and so on. But not just one car; members experience all of them. Such is the kind of benefit associated with Vulcan Motor Club Membership.
So could an outfit like this adequately strut their appurtenances at a barbeque? Of course not. So they commandeered the most extravagant venue that suited their needs, decorated the lush rolling greens with their fleet of exotics, and partnered with Jacob the Jeweler and the David David Gallery of Philadelphia, to offer attendees a broad arrange of art on which their senses could feast. Not to leave out the sense of taste, the soiree was catered by the Trump National Golf Club. And lest they neglect auditory yearnings, the air was rich with the soulful decadence of live jazz.

The jewelry and paintings were a splendid compliment to the automotive bliss that was already in session. The five-star food filled the parts of us that weren’t already full of elation from being around such amazing cars. By the evening’s end, we were compelled to sign up for membership with the Vulcan Motor Club. And why not? More than anyone else, they understand our obsession with the finer things in life.
