Cars and Coffee sightings
Since I go to cars and coffee every once in a while and sometimes I see some rare cars that I always post up here for you guys to check out. Now instead of making individual threads, I'm just gonna put my cars and coffee sightings in here, and others are welcome to also.
Most of the time I'm gonna be using my cellphone for the pics
So here is what showed up yesterday at C&C

I think the front of this car looks really nice. But looking from the side, the back three quarters of the car is ehh. Thats my favorite and least favorite angles of the car.
The brake discs on this car is f***ing HUGE! It fills up the 20 in wheels! Although the driver didn't go that fast when leaving, it had a nice tune. It's a little quieter I would say than the F430, that is at lower rpms. But it has a more racey exhaust note. Sounds great IMO.

I think the 458 Italia is beautiful ... It's quintessential Ferrari but it's also modern ...
I don't think I'd buy one if I had the money though ... I'm more of a DBS/R8 V10 kind of guy ... Supercar that flies under the radar ...

'10 Hyundai Genesis Coupe
The front fascia looks like a Lambo wanna be, this is probably one of the uglier Ferrari production cars that I have seen.
I am a huge fan of the F430 (The 430 Scuderia is my favorite variation) and 360 Modena.

Oh God-don't tell Ferrari that you think their shiny red car looks like a Lamborghini. I'm not sure if they'll like that very much.

Yea, I dont think this resembles anything like a lamborghini.

It does, quite a bit actually. To me at least. When I first saw this car in pics I thought it looked pretty bad. But its a lot better in person. It still has that ferrari presence when you stand in front of it. Even the bad angles look better, but still they are not that great.
Ohh I also forgot to mention, I'm not a huge fan of the dash in this car. I think ferrari stuffed to much in the dash. I prefer the F430 layout better. The steering wheel on this thing, although it has a lot of buttons, looks like it would feel amazing!

I saw a California in the flesh and I still thought it was meh. The 458 I don't like at all. My favorite Prancing Horse is the 360 Modena. That is what I'd have if I were buying a Ferrari. But I'm not and the owner of the 458 could care less what I think about his car

Maybe I am just old fashioned , but if I had the money, I would buy a Ferrari Pre-1990, preferably 70s/80s.

Went there this morning and something new showed up I've never seen before
Pretty good looking I think. It was a distributer car.

I go to C&C every month here in Raleigh and I've made the drive out to Charlotte once before too. Since you said others are welcome to post pictures, I thought I would share a few:

^Actually it's old. They started making it in the mid-80s, 1986 I believe.

That was the first one I had seen at C&C. I thought it was a Phantom from a distance but then I realized it was the new Ghost.

Figured rather than starting a new thread I would add to this one from last weekends Charlotte Area August Cars and Coffee meet.
Said he had only picked it up at 11am the day before.
Thought this was pretty funny sighting
Still one of my favorite cars ever and most favorite car I will ever be able to afford some day hopefully.

I went to the Raleigh C&C last weekend and wasn't impressed with what showed up. There was a lot of nice shit but nothing that blew me away. I'll go through some pictures and see if I can find anything worth posting.

My friend that I go to C&C with went up north to go camping and was nearby montery. He didnt know what was going on there, on his way there, but when he got there he just told me. Cars and Coffee looks like a regular old parking lot.
And if you go on autoblog, you will see the kind of cars that were showcased there.
He didnt go in for the whole tour since the people he went with weren't that interested in cars, but driving by he just saw so many things. Kind of wish I went there.

The exotic numbers depend on the weather, but they're rarely above 3 dozen if you're lucky.
Put it this way, really. If you're ever in Dallas for a week, make sure it's on the last Saturday of every month & head over to Cars & Bikes at RAC. It's a smaller gathering, but the cars that show up have so far surpassed almost everything that happens to show up at C&C.
C&C may have had a Veyron a couple times, a SLS, a 458, etc., C&B usually always manages to draw in a large number of high performance Porsches, RUFs, Ferraris, & other classics in the area who try to stay away from the crowd at C&C.
