'Coffe & Cars'

[twich54]

Steve (SlowGeezer) and I have been PM'ing back and forth on a few things and we got talking cars. I thought I'd start a thread on an informal gathering that happens on Sat mornings at a Starbucks near you.........these actually occur throughout the country, called 'coffe & cars'.

Mine is the Blade Silver '12 Grand Sport parked next to my buddy's sweet Ferrari, I suspect I'm 'bringing down the neighborhood' !

Nice ride! We had one of these in the ATL, it got so large they had to hire the police to direct traffic in and out of the Starbucks parking lot. As with all things that get large there started to be problems with people doing burn outs, racing in the parking lot, harassing customers, etc., so the shopping center banned the event.

Beautiful car Dave! We have coffee and cars in a little town about five miles from my house, the first Sunday of every month, too. I'm on the way to the gym, but when I get back I'll see if I have any pics from one and post. In the meantime, here's one of my car. It's nowhere near as fast as the 'vette, but is a pleasure to drive.

'pleasure to drive' I'm sure............car aint to shabby either !!!

You know Steve I firmly believe the Caymen and the Vette are two of the best sports cars for the $$ out there.

I like the Cayman a lot. I think it looks great. I have gotten rid of my z06 since I rarely use it any more with 2 young kids and am driving a CTS-V with ~700HP. Pretty good substitute and I get to drive it every day.

I agree. The Vette competes and surpasses in some areas with supercars from from Ferrari, Lambo and the upper level Porsches, for so much less cash. The Cayman has handling second to none, it just doesn't have the power of the supercars.

I love the 'V' Hocky ! ........700hp obviously not stock, I assume a pulley swap on the blower ?

I love the porsche's for handling, I was driving by a dealership last week and saw a porsche boxster outside so I drove in to check it out. The dealer wanted $10600 for a 2000 with 94k miles and I got him down to 9.5k. Well on my way out to my moms ranch I was emailing him before I left saying I would do $9100 and he was debating it. Well I got to the ranch then checked my email and he sold it, on a Friday at 6:30 pm. I am still gutted over it and should have just bought it or offered him a pair of my wireworld speaker cables lol

Anyways...... ever since that I am scouring classifieds everywhere looking to buy one and wont rest until I do. We dont have the coffee and cards but we have an event called cruising broadway were everyone drives down broadway ave on thursday evening and its really cool with them old muscle cars n hot rods

Totally agree! And that Steve guy sure knows how to accessorize his Cayman!

BTW, have you all ever listened to the George Jones hit, "The One I Loved Back Then"?

Sorta fits...

Yea. It has bolt ons, E85, and a little bottle if needed.

Geez, Dave. All those pictures have me salivating. I sold my Mercedes SLK 320 awhile back and am hankering for a sports car again. In a few weeks I will FINALLY be able to pick up my completely restored and upgraded 1955 Jaguar XK 140!!!! It has been a LONG wait on the restoration, but it will be so worth it when I finally have the car. I will certainly post pictures on this site when I get it. Now I just need to find a model similar to the one Steve has alongside his Cayman. What better way to accentuate the beautiful curves of the car?

Steve. What year cayman? I love the new 2013 exterior design changes.

 

[MDSPHOTO]

Lets talk about coffee! Yay!

What's your fave?

Just to name a few;
Peet's Major Dickason's Blend
Black Cat Espresso Roast
Caribou Reindeer Blend

 

[slowGEEZR]

My favorite was the "Route 66" blend from Misha's Coffee in Old Town Alexandria, VA. They roasted their beans on-site and the smell was wonderful. My current favorite store bought coffee is the French Roast, by San Francisco Bay. These are individual Keurig packets and taste great.
