– Cars and Coffee is a great event because you can see interesting cars. That includes some with ‘rusted and scratched bumpers’. Every Saturday you have the opportunity to see cars you probably think have ‘rusted and scratched bumpers’ you would not be able to see elsewhere. Your f430 is a beautiful car but so is an American car from before the mid- seventies – whether fully restored or a work in-progress. Personally I would rather take the time to view cars that an owner has restored (or is restoring) – to me that shows more of a love for automobiles than a guy that goes down to his Ferrari dealership and opens his checkbook.
When walking down the rows of cars all of us have probably asked ourselves why is that car here? I think the answer is the owner is proud of his/her car. If you’re not interested in a particular car just walk on by but there is no need to ridicule others for what they take pride in. Just walk on by because you can be sure you’ll soon find one that does interest you – my god, where can you go and see so many classics parked next to exotics (if that’s your thing).
On the other side of the argument is the original poster wanting to take up an entire row with modern ‘Z’ cars as a group – I don’t think anyone is saying the modern ‘Z’ is not worthy (beauty is in the eye of the beholder) but why would you want to take up an entire row to show the exact same model? Personally I’m not a fan of modern Japanese cars but you can’t deny that a lot of people are fans (especially the young). You would not be showing consideration to those who attend C&C hoping to see a wide variety of cars, not an owner’s group of relatively new Japanese cars.
I own a few cars and one of them (a Pontiac) is only one of less than 1300 made (and I park in the parking garage), I love the car – good styling, great performance, but I’m sure some of the Japanese car lovers wouldn’t care for it. Different strokes for different folks.1) Please, please, please keep cncpics.com The pictures you post are beautiful and I look forward to looking at them after each show – for both the weeks I go to cnc and the few weeks I miss. The pictures are great and appreciated.
2) I agree with some of the comments re seeing too many late model mass produced cars. If there is room I think owners should be allowed to display these cars — they are proud of their cars but on busy days it is a shame to see 6 (almost identical) late model Mustangs lined up in the exhibitor lot while a classic is turned away.
I like my car too (less than 1300 made) but I realize it can’t compare to some of the real special cars we all come out to see — I’m a regular for the parking garage.
3) There are jerks everywhere. We all know the rules but the jerks choose to ignore them. In my opinion, barricades, endless lists of rules and gestapo tactics will not stop jerks from being jerks. Pointing out stupid behavior by the jerks by those attending the event should eventually sink in — even a jackass can stop being a jerk for 2 hours on a Saturday morning.
4) Repetitive but needs repeating — please keep up the good work on cncpics.com, don’t let the jerks win.
