Yeah, it’s like 8 stories tall and they will have signs up directing you to spectator parking. It’s like the only tall building in the immediate area within walking distance to the show.

Can someone please direct me to the parking structure? The directions map on this website does not point it out or indicate it. That’s all I need. Thanks in advance.
It’s about half a block away from the main entrance. Can’t miss it.

It is what it is. Sometimes that is what you have to resort to when people do not respond to you being nice about it.thumbuphellosmilethumbsdown

Have you guys seen that http://www.carsandcoffeefails.com is policing the show and posting cars that violate the new rules?
Yep. Good for them. People are getting way too comfortable with the informal atmosphere and ruining it.

I’m quite sure that there will be Cars and Coffee the august 10. Almost every year only on the week of Pebble (17 august) C&C Irvine is cancelled.
There is a strip mall where there is 85C (local coffee/pastry shop) that a lot of cars always end up at after CnC. Last few times I went it was like a small mini show there.

Be careful, Cerebrix might come to your local city council meeting and protest against your elitist and snobbish ways.:nuts:
benzjed replied to the topic Parking in the Main Lot in the forum Cars and Coffee Irvine 11 years ago
To those who think anyone who would want to see a show for exotic and specialty cars as elitists, feel free to start your own “show” where people can bring all the late model mass produced Japanese and American cars to exhibit. Let me know how the attendance is.

Every Saturday morning from 6am to 9am, every month, unless they specify no meets, usually just for Monterey or Pebble Beach.
Irvine has one at Mazda Center. Glendale has one at the Goldstein’s bagels off Verdugo and the 2 freeway.
Get there around 7am to spectate. Earlier to exhibit.
Have fun and enjoy.

Go to the C&C La Canada event then. They said it was every weekend and it actually ended up being a very nice and chill crowd out there when I went two weeks ago.

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.
