interestingly enough, I go to car shows all the time in between my track days. yet somehow I never managed to make it down to a cars and coffee event. scheduling just never worked out for me.

as I come on here to check the info, I find this thread. ive changed my mind about going in the morning.

I don’t want to be a part of, nor support anything that even resembles an elitist, anti-American, discriminatory event of any kind.

southern California invented the automotive aftermarket after WWII. these were largely aviation mechanics looking to use their skills one things they love. cars. they bled motor oil, and drank gasoline (not litereally). they loved, modified, and accepted cars of all kinds, from any country, with any pricetag. just as our great country welcomes all those regardless of race, color, creed, or religion. I can’t think of anything anti American, than an elitist event that only further points out whats wrong with south orange country. An area, as an OC native, I avoid like the plague.

I’ll continue to frequent the car shows I’ve been going to, and explore those on the socal car culture website I haven’t been to yet.

the only difference now though, is i’ll be making a concerted effort to discourage the turners and enthusiast I encounter at the road courses to refrain from supporting this event.

anything that discriminates and polarizes our community, the community I live in is another shining example of one of the problems with this country. One i’ll be brining up at the open minutes during the end of the next city council meeting.

as far as im concerned, an event like this needs to go away and i’ll be letting our elected representatives know whats going on in their city, congressional, and senate districts.
