I like the idea, but know I won't make it every month. Maybe not at all through the summer; I'm on a long-term work project, spending pretty much the whole summer (week-days) in Chicago. Sat & Sun are gonna be for home and family for a while.

So what time are we meeting at the Stickey Fingers parking lot? I know cars and coffee starts at 8:00 not 9:00 so maybe we should meet at the sticky location at 8:00 am and arrive at the C&C area around 9:00? Does this work or do people want to leave later? I might jet early as we have some new appliances being delivered that day. My house is getting the projects these days and the car is put on the back burner. Let me know what you guys want to do.

I spoke with Bearcat today and he thought the Cars and Coffee started at 9:00 when it really starts at 8:00. He suggested we meet at the Sticky fingers parking lot at 8:00 am and ride to the Cars and coffee area by 9:00AM. Is everyone ok with this???

Did you get the SH-AWD? I had the FWD for a few days and really enjoyed it. And yes, pretty ugly!

I don't know, I didn't look it over...I was still pretty ticked at that point. I'm sure it's just a FWD. The seats are really comfy, it's quick (or seems quick), interior has nice materials, the ride is decent (too stock for me, but really good for Joe Average), the stereo is great (it actually has bass, unlike my 04)...it's just such a polarizing exterior design. The steering wheel is nice, too.

C&C turn out was weak compared to March. Cloudy weather kept some of the cars at home, I think.

They loved you, too. Really, they did.

Top Dollar from The Crow (Michael Wincott). He's had bit parts in tons of movies.

Unfortunate, but not surprising. I wonder if next month will be light since it's a holiday.

I would've hit it some time ago, but I'm not on here as much lately, and I don't really venture into Ramblings any more, which is what got it where it is. It's hard to get a high post count with legitimate posts.

Whats up everyone, I was a Charlotte resident until about a year ago...Moved to the Asheville area, but I'm real new to the TL scene and this site specifically, is there any plans for another meet anytime soon, its only a 2 hour drive to Charlotte and I am always down to meet some people that are in the know about tl's, asheville isnt really a hot bed for any type of car culture...I'll keep an eye out.

As chill_dog mentioned... a bunch of people are going to HIN in Charlotte. Here is the link for that... https://acurazine.com/forums/southeast-318/hin-charlotte-nc-cabarrus-arena-concord-june-27th-2009-a-730594/

Additionally, Cars & Coffee (C&C) is coming up again on the 4th of July. I know my wife and I are heading up... likely with my neighbor and his wife. I am not sure if there will be another AZ convoy... but there has been the last few C&C's... so stay tuned here for more info on that...

^Thanks for the link...I was being lazy.

I think I might make C&C next month. It's been a while, and I have places to go, so I'll be up early anyway. If I do, I'll meet you guys there...doesn't make much sense for me to drive down to Ballantyne for the convoy and then back track past my hosue to get to Northlake.
