Cars and Cafe Sept 5th...
 

Since Swifty is banned, I figured I would take it upon myself and put a thread up to see if anyone is interested in going. I went to the Cars and Coffee meets in Las Vegas and they were always an awesome time. Also I'll be home from Portugal on leave for awhile, so it would be nice to reunite with some old DSM faces and meet some new ones that are apparently all the rage now. From what I can gather it is at the same place the last one was. I am way too lazy to setup a list for a caravan or anything, so hopefully Swifty gets unbanned so he can post up all the details.

No work that day for me, so I'm in! And I'll bring another 2-liter!

Re: Cars and Cafe Sept 5th...
 

I have no idea if I can get out of work but if I can I'll be there. It might bethe last one before crappy weather hits.

We usually meet at the EP mall parking lot on the movie theater/wildfire. I don't remember what time, does 7:45 sound right? The lot fills up fast on nice days.

Re: Cars and Cafe Sept 5th...
 

if I'm not too exhausted after work I'll stop by

Re: Cars and Cafe Sept 5th...
 

The EP mall is maybe 5-10 minutes away so it's a good location to meet at. I saw meet there at 7:30 or so and have the cars leave at 7:50 sharp.

Re: Cars and Cafe Sept 5th...
 

Cool, If i make this i will roll thru there to see if anyone is there. I'll be in a black 2dr '05 civic.

Re: Cars and Cafe Sept 5th...
 

I'd like to go!

Re: Cars and Cafe Sept 5th...
 

I'm out this time too, got a wedding I'm headed to up north. Go as early as possible, and clean your car! This is an exotic car show ;)

Re: Cars and Cafe Sept 5th...
 

How about this: we meet at 7:30 am like Car racer said, in the EP mall parking lot in front of the AMC theater building. If people want to meet then, I'll meet there and I'd like to drive to the show with a group. But if you want to be lazy and show up late, peace out, I'm going alone ON TIME.

OK, since swift fail is not even attending this one, I'M going to just step up and say we should meet before the show at 7:30am at the AMC theater in the EP mall. The show starts at 8:00 am and it's already filled with cars by then, but not as much as it is later. Mitsu's and other cheap cars get put in the back anyway, but as Dave Mustaine put it, "showing up early is on time, and showing up on time is late."


If anyone is interested, please reply here, and then we'll get some shit done.

7:30am this Saturday.

I'll be there, my dad is on the fence on attending with his Camaro as he has an issue with a leak.

7:30 comes early but I'll be there. Arrive at 8 at the Automotorplex? The import area seems to get crowded when there's nice weather.

Swifty - Don't try and organize shit if you're not even going. Let the people going work it out and deal with it (we already discussed this via PM last week and this is exactly why I wanted you to stay out of it). As far as I can tell since you're going to be off playing with Rau this thread doesn't concern you one bit.

One more OT post and this whole thread gets scrapped and you can all start over :)

I'm on the fence about going, it depends on how I feel after work. If I do go I'll meet you guys at 7:30, but if I'm not there by then, don't wait up.

Re: Cars and Coffee (not cafe) sept. 5th 7:30am meet at EP mall
 

People going can see my old Black viper. The guy I traded it to will have it there, it now has white stripes running down the thing.

This is a fun event. I typically don't care much about car shows and didn't have any problem staying there for a couple hours. This is getting to be a pretty big event.

Re: Cars and Coffee (not cafe) sept. 5th 7:30am meet at EP mall
 

I will be moving my tool box Saturday morning so it looks like I'm out.

Re: Cars and Coffee (not cafe) sept. 5th 7:30am meet at EP mall
 

I got somewhere to be in Eden Prairie at 8:15am. But I'll show up until then since I got nothing better to do between getting off work at 7 and my 8:15.

Wake up you lazy bums. :P

Only cool shot I could get, it was constantly surrounded by people (something about it being one of less than 10 in the US?):

Saw this guy leaving, whipped out the camera, and he was nice enough to stop for me. As much as I hate the rust fad, car looked pretty good:

I would have stopped over, but I had other issues to deal with...
