The kids and I went over to check out the start of the Targa Trophy rally that was hosted at HRE on Saturday morning. Lots of serious hardware out there (and some not-so-serious). Here are a few highlights.
BMWs were out in force with MFest taking a large role in this year's rally.
E92s were plentiful.
I want this E39 wagon. The bike rack is a nice touch.
Speed Society's 1000HP '69 Camaro was on hand. The noise was ridiculous.
Two large turbos help it go.
The ZR1 just out of the frame was a bit too loud for some people.
Lots of chrome wraps.
The roll bar matches the wheel centers.
Porsche new and old.
Some hatches.
Plus the typical Lambos and Ferraris.
My son really needs a haircut.
It was a really cool event to check out, but the douchebag level was pretty high. Lots of idiots speeding down the street while people are walking by. Saw three people almost get run over. Somebody was having a smoke-out and not being shy about it. People rev'ing right next to you as they drive through the crowd. Unlike the Cars & Coffee crowd, I was actually worried to let my kids let go of my hands.
Maybe I'm just getting old...

Nice event! At my local Cars and Coffee, the douches are pouring in.
If you are walking and they are behind you, they will nearly hit you, and Rev the engine.

1) Your kids are adorable.
2) Where was this? My town is too small for a C&C type event. But I'm getting ready to move to the big city, so hopefully will be able to see more events like this.

This is in Vista (north San Diego county). It was the start of the Targa Trophy rally so the dollar value of the cars was a bit of a step up from our usual C&C event.

Our C&C events are usually pretty good. The organizers make it quite clear that douche behavior is not tolerated. Everybody there is really friendly.
The Targa Trophy seems to be a douche magnet.

I did not check. My ability to thoroughly check out cars was limited by the kids.

Sounds like a nice C&C. The one that I attend has rules against Captain Douche and his men, but they still make it.

Captain Douche and his men can be identified by their Ed Hardy t-shirts.

I'm on the East, but it looks like a great event. Minus the douches, of course.

Your kids are pretty adorable. I hope the crowd was nice there, although from the comments it doesn't seem that way.

Thanks! Not what I'd call a "kid friendly" event. If it was just me, I wouldn't have been so sensitive to it.

Yeah, the more stanced cars there seems to be, the less family friendly the event will be. It will bring in more youngins' like me. I like C&C though, everyone is pretty friendly there.
