I snuck my old Honda into a fancy car meet full of McLarens & Porsches

It’s nice to see people walk past $10 million in cars to check out my rusty hand built shifter kart.

S600, but I swapped up to a 1 liter, and made this sweet badge:

So it’s kind of an S1000

To be fair, the McLaren is kind of not the “new, shiny thing" anymore.

Awesome. I hate people with new exotics at car shows, hey I just bought this and drove it here! I walk past them, I bet driving one is great but I don’t need to see four lined up. My Zs paint is unrestored and I like a car that’s used and a bit rough. I will only paint it if the car is at risk.

Howdy there. I was actually part of the staff (volunteers), and the guy (bud) thought it was quirky enough for C&C. I just realized that was yours when I saw the little honda. It’s good to see variety and Jalop cars. Cars and Croissants has evolved from regular owners to just a bunch of Mclaren owners and Ferrari owners showing how unintresting his car is. I especially dislike one McLaren owner (the one with the aero kit) for insulting me helping the next owner park properly. And sorry we put you by the corvette....I like the other Cars and Coffee SF better.

How did you make the badge?

I traced an image I found online, then just edited it by hand in CATIA to change 600 to 1000, and sent it to a waterjet.

That was a great idea!
