It is truly amazing the variety of premium cars we have show up each month. I am always surprised.

The December meet was moved up a week early due to the Holiday, we also sponsored a Toys for Tots drive this month.

Below are just a few photos from Saturday, link to the full Set here: Orlando Cars and Cafe - December photos

That Carrera GT is the sex.

The Gallardo Balboni looks soooo nice!!

All the cars are great except for the HMMWV, probably the most unreliable and poorly designed vehicle I've ever driven.

Lots of seriously nice cars at your meets. Wish I was there.

You must admit, reliable or not, the HMMWV is a piece of history. The green one is privately owned by a local collector and ex-military. The beige one was the vehicle the Marines brought to the meet to pick up the Toys for Tots we collected.

I didn't mean to minimize your car club or the charity drive you had there. Toys for Tots is a great cause and using iconic cars is a great way to attract prople and donations. All great cars and sounds like a fun time. I wish I could attend.

I agree the HMMWV (Humvee) is a piece of military history just like the GP (Jeep). Most civilians practically worship it as the premiere off road truck and battle hardened combat vehicle. I remember as a kid when the Humvee was introduced to the public I said to myself I will get one someday. Having experienced the true awfulness of it, The very sight of it irritates me, especially when it's on public roads. Living with it on a daily basis, you see all the shortcomings and the need for a better vehicle. The new MRAP is much better, although a bit large.
