Ed And BS Meet For Cars And Coffee

Each Saturday morning, at a somewhat ungodly hour, drivers of always beautiful and often rare cars congregate on Mazda's parking lot in Irvine, CA.

The gathering is called "Cars and Coffee." The cars are free to look at, the (strong) coffee does not cost much.

Ed Niedermeyer & I went there today, the early hour (and Ed's hangover) be damned

Whether classics, exotics, concepts, hotrods, or race cars, Cars and Coffee is the place to be admired, to swap stories and to subtly make your car available for sale.

The area is an historic battleground of the car business. The building was the headquarters of Ford's Premier Automotive Group, the umbrella organization of Volvo, Aston Martin and Jaguar. Now, it is the home of Taco Bell.

Not all cars at Cars and Coffee are antique. We spotted a brand-new "hachi-roku" Scion BRZ with press fleet tags. Ed considered trading in his BMW for a new BRZ.

"Look," shouts Ed, "jack has one just like that."

This E-Type reminds us of a bygone era.

Got wood?

Detomaso Pantera.

And some engine porn.

You don't need to have a hot rod to be a star at Cars and Coffee.
