Cars & Coffee, February, 2013

Today being the first Saturday of the month meant all the cool cars in town congregated in Plano for Cars & Coffee.   The weather was perfect and the sky was clear and sunny, which felt great but played havoc with camera angles/shadows.  I arrived at 7:15 to a full house, and during the two hours I was there more cars kept coming and coming and....

I'm guessing there were at least 1,500 cars there on display, with 2 or 3 times that many people viewing.  Display parking became totally gridlocked.

There seemed to be an abundance of specific-make car clubs attending, such as Lotus. Unfortunately for me, except for the Evora ^ I'm not much of a Lotus fan.

It must be a redneck thing.  Can anyone explain to me why you'd do this to a perfectly good truck?  

Being the oddball that I am I'm drawn to oddball cars, too, like this Citroen DS.

Being an Alfaholic, you can imagine how much these Alfa Romeo's stirred me.

An Alfa Romeo Giulia (GTA?).  Oh, be still my heart!

Look!  It's a Lamborghini....no, it's a Transformer....no, it's a....

The best paint job seen today....REALLY nice!

My favorite license plate of the day (on a Shelby GT 500).

My least favorite license plate of the day (on a Chevy "Fiberglass Coffin").

Why?

Would you believe they wouldn't take my check?

Now what are the odds all four shocks would go bad at the same time?

A Bentley Continental.  Shhhh....if you listen carefully you can hear it depreciating.

And finally, proof that money can't always buy good taste....

(Ouch!  This one's gonna get me in trouble!)

....while at other times it definitely can!

Hope you enjoyed  :)
