Carlsbad Cars and Coffee: 12/28 End of the Year Meet

So usually Carlsbad Cars and Coffee is about 100 to 150 cars, on a average Saturday morning. The end of the month meets tend to be the biggest, with the majority of people happy if we hit 200. From the last count I heard on yesterday's meet, we were well past 300 and possible 400+ cars. It was massive. It was amazing. Have about 100 photos taken by my potato and enjoy some truly amazing cars.

To give a sense of some of the scale when it was still just 200 cars:

Here's the actual cars: (they are all mixed about so be sure to scroll through!)

OH MY GOD I NEED AN ADULT AKLSDHASLKHDLASDHKLJASKLDJ—

That is one beautiful Lincoln.

By the way, kinda new to Oppo here and I'm slightly unsure of how it works. I've been wanting to post some carspotting pictures, but apparently I need to be approved as an author first? How does that work? Sorry if I'm bothering you or anything, it's just I'd like to put some of my pictures out there.

What does it say about me that the Datsun pickup and that Falcon are my favorites?

Here is the Oppo Handbook, including the names of some of the mods. Flag one down and ask for Oppo authorship rights. They should approve you, no problem.

Is it happening next week? A late night and a full slate of bowl games kept me away again.

That you have great taste. I want to see that Falcon in the wild. What a cool car.

It happens every week! Every Saturday, rain or shine.

Here's a link to the FaceBook page and another link to next week's event page .

The last of the month tends to be twice the normal size; usually because the Corvette, Mitsubishi and Porsche clubs show up. On average we get around 100 cars whereas the end of the month is usually 200-300.

Really though, everyone there would be happy to see another 911, M3 or Z06. :)

That Falcon is one of my favorite cars there. I never happen to be around when the owner is though, so I haven't had the chance to talk to him more. I'd love to find out all about it, the mods and get some more pictures / video.

The Datsun pickup was cool, but not as cool as the 510 was. I'll be sure to get more pictures of the pickup if it shows up again, as I believe everything was handpainted to look like rust/patina/whatnot.

The pictures don't capture how beautiful and clean that Lincoln was. Or just how utterly massive it was. Made the Aston next to it look like a toy car size wise.

Welcome to Oppo! Let me see if I can help you out. I'll share your post and try to flag down a mod. Fookin' Prawns already sent you a pretty good link to get started.

Scion 10 series FR-S. One of the many changes for the limited edition was US-spec GT-86 lights. The color was even more amazing in person. Although I didn't care for the light up badges.

Agreed! It's an amazing little machine. I'll have to stalk, I mean track, down the owner next time.

When my dad and I were shopping they had a series 10 with the Devil's transmission so we passed. I didn't notice the lights, but the color was nice

OK cool. That's what I thought, I was just kind of nervous that 'end of the year' may have meant end of the season.

I've seen a stock f40 parked next to an ex oreca viper and even knowing full well that that specific dodge chassis ran and finished le mans twice (it came 5th iirc) and that there were like, 15 of them ever built it was very, very hard to stop staring at the ferrari.
