Default Anybody ever heard of Cars & Coffee?

I heard about this through a customer today about Classic BMW in Plano hosting a monthly gathering for all sorts of cars called Cars & Coffee. Just wondering if anybody has ever heard of it? It looks like its a huge turnout based on the pictures I've seen online.

We have the same thing on random Saturday morning in Knoxville at a place called 'European Auto Garage.' Some NICE cars come out too....so nice I need to sell my house to fit in. Twin turbo, super charged, and nitroused vipers are common now.

Nice display of both domestic muscle and import sports cars like porsche....both new and vintage.

It's all over. Cars & Coffee Irvine CA is one of the bigger ones but there all awesome. But C&C Irvine is weekly instead of monthly.

There's an unofficial one in Houston as far as I know. Do some research on google or some other forums and I bet you'll find out where it is.

That sounds pretty cool and I like the diversity of cars at the meets but, I don't know, 830am is kind of early. I'll see if I can make it Oct. 3 meet, thank god for the coffee!

PS I am only saying it's early because I work nights. I usually am going to bed a 9am!

**** if I'd take my car to that meet. lol. BMW guys are bad enough to talk to, let alone people in Lambos, Ferraris and Porches (except for some people...).

The Ferrari and Lamborghini guys are a lot friendlier than most of the f-body people I meet actually...

The BMW people... well... you're right about them! Porsche guys are hit or miss. The ones that own 1970s Porsches usually aren't arrogant and rude like some of the 2000+ ones.

The Maserati and Aston Martin guys haven't been coming out to the events, but they are usually the ones who look more professional and plastic surgeried. Some of the Ferrari and Lamborghini guys are really great normal guys in T-shirts and shorts.

Agreed with that Brangeta, alot of the exotic owners are actually really cool, sometimes less arrogant then some fbody owners I know... Actually of all the guys I know that own high end cars only 1 is an all out douche
