Cars at Cars & Coffee

[PaulE]

I haven't been to any this year due to the shutdown, but we get some fancy and pricey cars at our local Cars & Coffee. I often wonder if some of the owners of these cars do much with them besides going to car shows. The pictures aren't great as I stop in to visit these while out riding my bike and am straddling my bike with bike shoes with cleats. The pictures are right side up on my PC so I hope they come out that way here. Here are a few samples

Alfa Romeo Montreal


Mercedes 300 SL Gullwing and Roadster


Ferrari La Ferrari?




This is a very rare and expensive Maserati MC12 built for GT Racing. I thought it was a well finished kit car until I saw it up close and then looked it up when I got home. Not my cup of tea





A genuine Shelby AC Cobra



A Lancia Delta Integrale



A Ferrari F50

Cool cars, Paul. But no pics of the Veyron?

Someone in OMA has a Senna McLaren. I'll try to get a pic of it next wk at the monthly C&C.

That's not a LaFerrari, that's an Enzo.

And some of us drive our exotics very regularly. ;-) but you're right: there's a segment who don't, and that's a shame. I always hate seeing a car owned for 3 years with less than 2000 miles in that time, for instance.

Thanks for the clarification on the Enzo! in my area I think the Enzo, MC12, Bugattis and other really high end supercars don’t get out very much. Certainly not to a track day or an autocross which is too bad. The more common Ferraris, McClarens, Lamborghinis, etc are spotted out on weekdays and in rush hour.

Where are you located?
I've noticed that my neighborhood isn't as excited any more when they see mine, haha.
It seems some of the excitement is worn down when we see them every day. Which is to be expected.

I guess there needs to be a balance between driving them, but keeping them special.

I haven't found that yet.

I'm in Bergen County, New Jersey. If you look on Facebook for Bergen County Cars and Caffe you'll see everything that shows up to their events. As long as you're excited every time you see and drive your car that's all that matters!

This was at yesterday's C & C, among other exotica.

Did the owner sport a "handicapped plate" on the back?

Just wonderin'............
