Cars & Coffee

Headed to the Cars & Coffee in Mclean, VA on Saturday.  The turnout was amazing!  The usual suspects were there, with a healthy showing of Ferrari's, Lambos, and Vettes.  This weekend had a healthy dose of Aston Martins, Audi R8's, Fiat 500's and cars featured in posters on my wall during my high school years.  My #1 favourite car of all time, and rarely seen completely bone stock anymore, is the Acura NSX.  I'm a fan of the original... stock rims and ride height, original paint, pop-up headlights, and the black roof.  This NSX was cherry, mint, pristine, whatever your word, it was it.  Someday...

Car #2 on my all time list of favourites, the Supra turbo.  Loved them then, love them now, the more stock the better.  This one is pretty close.

At a show like the Mclean show, the FR-S is not much of a novelty.  It gets some attention, but there are so many exotics and classics that it is more like the supporting cast than any start of the show.  I was parked in good company with a Cobra and a pristine 911 Carrerra GTS.

I had to snap the pic below, from an 850i for sale, circa mid-90's.  They don't make phones like that anymore! LOL (good thing!)

On Sunday the whole family attended the Cars & Coffee in Fair Lakes.  Definitely a smaller crowd, and the normal car to exotic car ratio is closer to 1 to 1, but met some great folks, and finally got to talk mods and characteristics of the FR-S with a BRZ owner and FR-S owner that were there.  Genuinely good guys and I learned quite a bit from folks who had logged more miles and performed some mods.  Good times!
