Default First Cars & Coffee of 2012 + Camaro Club of Houston Cruise

Brother and I took the cars out to meet up with some friends for the Cars & Coffee event. Afterwards, we have a nice breakfast at a friend' restaurant and then headed out to Sam Houston State Park for some spirited driving/Cruising.

It was a great way to enjoy a cool 68 degree Saturday morning in Texas.

Downfall was on the "harder" driving back home, Tyler (Hellraiser M.D.) had either the throwout bearing or pilot go out on his car. We are dropping the transmission today and will more than likely replace the clutch/flywheel and everything else just to have the car ready for more power that will be added on in the next weeks.

Now for the pictures: **CAPTIONS ON TOP**

Douche in the E30 M3 came into the parking lot sideways at 7:00am, white smoke and all from the tires....

Deserved to be pulled over by the Rent-a-cop.

After the show, we headed out to breakfast.

Cars with us, My z06, the fox, TT Z06, TT Ford GT, Heads/Intake 2008 Viper, Blown 2010 Camaro, Blown 2010 Camaro, and a stock 2010 Camaro.



Then after Breakfast, we met up with a bunch of our older friends and their classic cars for a cruise. Part 1 = Drive slower than ****....







Stopping at Lone Star Winery in the middle of nowhere for a quick break, **** stop, and some tastings. :o







:rofl: I hate pro-street stuff.





On our way out and leaving the old people behind....

Time for cruising the backroads at a MUCH higher rate of speed:















And that is it. Capped off the night with drinking a good bit of alcoholic beverages and watching the Texans crush the Bengals.

All and all, a GREAT weekend so far.... outside of having to tear the transmission out of the car later today. :o

Big thanks to my friend Kat for taking all of these pictures so I don't have too.

Great pictures, me and my kiddo are gonna have to get up really early and go see that. One thing is funny though, all that money in cars and lots of them have overdue inspections.

Awesome rides and nice pics too. Pro-street cars are usually badass IMO, why the hate?

Just a small tire drag racer. Never got into the fad of having those damn steamroller tires and making **** for power.
