Default Katie's Cars & Coffee

Does anyone here attend the Cars & Coffee event in Great Falls, VA on Saturday mornings? There is always an incredible turnout...lots of super rare exotics to drool over. It's from 6-9am every week as long as the weather is cooperative.

It'd be great to get a few S2K owners out there this season, in order to get a decent spot you've gotta show up by 5:45-6am...kinda early for most but I guarantee it's worth it!

Here are a few photos I've snapped from past events:

Yes, I and some others have been there in the past. It's been awhile for me. A cool show for sure. Maybe I'll make it back out Labor Day weekend. Just look for my bright yellow car.

I've seen a Silverstone AP2 there the past couple weeks & a white AP2 showed up this past weekend with a single exit exhaust. Haven't been able to track the drivers down though. Hope to see more of us out there!

Been wanting to make a trip up there.

Any S2ki guys I can crash with the night before?

An interesting article responding to one in the WaPo the other day about how young people are not into cars or driving. It mentions Katie's Cars and Coffee.

Thanks for posting! I heard a commercial on the radio for that Washington Post article about our "love affair with the automobile" being dead. Of course I took it to heart...it does seem like the landscape is changing but that article makes some great points.

F40! E30 M3 Evo! Those cars are in my top 5 favorite cars of all time. I would love to attend this one day if those guys come out.

Used to go all the time. I go to the one in Dulles now. It's much much bigger. The one at Katies, you do get some rude owners out there. I watched some Ferrari owner snub some person who parked next to them that had an import of some kind. I can't remember what it was. And the Ferrari owner basically told him that he didn't have the right to park there because it wasn't an exotic.
