Oh Texas... The winters are usually not that bad (we had ZERO frost this year...) and that means Cars and Coffee year round. But the flip side to this all? Summer... The ability of that copper scoundrel* to heat up the DFW area in the early morning is amazing. Hydration is a must!

But, when weather is good... cars are good. Plenty of classics around this time! One thing that was unfortunate was the wind. I had to cut much footage, and I am reluctant to buy an external microphone since you never know if you are recording audio until it is too late. Something akin with dust spots on your sensor. Something I found out when I got home... two nice ones. Could have been way worse, but as you can imagine I wasn’t happy with the tarnished footage. #ThatContentCreatorLife

My favorite car of the day? Even though the Aventador and the crowd around it is the cover car, the 599 GTO I included at the tail end of the video was absolutely stunning! Which one did you like best?

Thanks for sharing footage! Something to distract while the storms roll through and the dogs freak out.

What’s the environment like, especially parking? I’ve been thinking about going at some stage but would be there with at least one kid.

What a coincidence, our cars & coffee had a good turnout too :)

No problem, it’s always fun to go there every month. As far as parking, if you grab google maps can center on Classic BMW in Plano there are numerous businesses around it. The one directly above it now prohibits parking because people left trash and were disrespectful to the property. This means you might have to hoof it up to 1000 ft. to get to the show. No matter how close you park, you will hit 10K steps!

Get there around 7:30 and parking is no issue, you might be able to get close. Later than that prepare for a walk. There is usually a water station and also a food truck where you can get something. The enviroment is great and every car owner there has a story about his or her car! (From the classic to the super car, I have yet to meet an owner that isn’t willing to talk and answer questions!)
