First off, this is still the best car meet in DFW. I have been thinking about how it could be improved and it’s tough. I did see an 8 to 10 year old stock Dodge truck being directed to spectator parking and I agreed. It is difficult to set hard rules though. Where do you draw the line without offending people? It took me awhile to get in last weekend but I will be there earlier next time. There may not be a better way with the space available. I love the mix of cars and would hate for that to change.
For example, I have a 2002 Camaro SS. It is not a classic, exotic, or even very valuable (according to KBB). It is far from stock, I try to present it well at CnC, and I do get people looking at it and asking questions. It is my weekend fun car. Should I park in spectator parking? Some would say yes and some would say no.
^ Good post, Brandon!
I attended this morning and it was great. I talked to several Camaro buddies, a friend that has a GTO and a Mustang, a guy with a very clean 90s Chevy truck, etc. My car got some attention too.
Notable vehicles to see were the Lamborghini Aventador, the 2 Rhino lined jeeps, a red 1st gen Camaro Pro-Street/Custom/hot rod, Lotus Evora (1st one for me), a 30s boattail speedster something or other, early 60s Mustang in a beautiful blue color, blue flamed lowrider GTO (wanted to not like it but did anyway), etc.
There were some cars/trucks that maybe should have parked somewhere else but they were the minority, maybe 5 of them.
Isn’t all this what Cars And Coffee is about? I think I put $6 in the donation jars and
was happy to do it.This is the greatest event for the automotive enthusiast in DFW, please don’t mess it up.
I wanted to add my .2. First off, this is an awesome event! I tell every automotive enthusiast I talk to that this is a must attend (at least once anyway) event. There is nothing else like it.
I have a 2002 Camaro SS that I show. It is no where near a $100K+ car or a best of show trophy winner. It does have some cosmetic customizations as well as performance upgrades, I have it clean and polished when attending, and I am proud of it. I do get people asking about it and liking it. Should I park somewhere else for some of the reasons given? I would probably stop attending if the answer is yes.
I do like seeing the exotics and highly modified cars but I also like seeing the unusual. Examples are the 60’s 8 door limo, that 70s van with the shag interior (too funny), the Yugo (the owners name is Mike and he’s a trip to talk to), etc. I also loved the 599 roadster that attended last month. I do understand asking a stock Civic or Accord to park outside of the main area. IMO, this event would lose some allure if too many restrictions were put into place.
