Cars and Coffee Rules

February.04.09 Posted in Cars & Coffee
The rules for Southern California’s local car event have recently been changed. One of the organizers, Freeman Thomas, has recently sent out an announcement and posted this information within the Cars and Coffee cafe. His vision of the premiere show was not up to the expectations that he wanted. The show has recently turned into a spectacle of many stock and uninteresting cars. Although this is slightly true, I do not agree with Freeman’s new direction for the show (to a certain extent). Cars and Coffee allowed the spectators to express their own creations within the show and use proper judgement in deciding if they thought their car was “worthy” of being displayed. Unfortunately, the general crowd was unable to respect these rules and flooded the lot with car clubs, stock cars, pushing the truly amazing cars into the spectator lot. Below is the quote from Freeman Thomas’s announcement posted by Bret on the Cars and Coffee™ forums.

All,

I just returned from Cars&Coffee. Way too many "normal" cars in the display area. We had to close the "Display" lot at 7:15am because of overcrowding. Today was not the vision of C&C. We have decided to "re-calibrate" Cars&Coffee, starting next Saturday Feb 7th and future Saturdays, only "pre" 1978 and "Special Classic Automobiles" will be allowed into the "Display" lot. All others will be directed towards the "Spectator" lot and parking structure.
