Penland,
Yep, Charlotte is a great car community. I'm surprised at the quantity of Porsches that show up at these monthly Cars & Coffee gatherings. Tons of new (and old) Camaros, Corvettes & Mustangs show up in big numbers as well. All of the other muscle cars, Asian cars, classics, kit cars, Euro luxury cars, etc. are present too. I tend to take pictures of what I like so my galleries aren't very representative of the big picture.
In addition there are multiple great shows held at the Charlotte Motor Speedway each year as well as many smaller events. The PCA group is strong as well. I think you will be happy if you make the move. Let us know when and if you make it down and we can help direct you to some of there outings.
In case you missed them here are a couple of other threads with Cars and Coffee pics from earlier months.
