Not at C&C but still awesome.

I was going to try and get this up yesterday, but I.... Um..... Got distracted.

Kinja'd!!!

Was so excited about this it wasn’t healthy.

My first stop wasn’t even at Cars and Coffee but a meet I saw on the way there.

Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!!

I agree. It was top down weather.

Kinja'd!!!

XJC engine bay.

Kinja'd!!!

It’s a replica but it still looked great.

When I had looked at all the interesting stuff there, then it was time for C&C. About usual turnout. Not big numbers but some stuff I didn’t expect.

Kinja'd!!!

Two German GT Cars. M6 Gran Coupe and a S4. Wheels weren’t my choice but they still looked ok.

Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!!

Wing as tall as the roof because race car bro

Kinja'd!!!

Mini, Manual IS300, and manual Taco. Sadly, rust hit the Taco hard

Kinja'd!!!

How are these two so clean?

Kinja'd!!!

More CRX

Kinja'd!!!

Angry hatchback.

Kinja'd!!!

#Vapenation. GTS-T and two Subarus.

Kinja'd!!!

There were two Speed3s there but this is the only picture I took of either.

Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!!

A MazdaSpeed6. I like these

Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!!

Truck

Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!!

GT3 guy wanted to park next to the construction for some reason

Kinja'd!!!

“Hey wait a minute. That Porsche looks familiar.” So of course I followed

Kinja'd!!!

Of course my phone decided my dash was more interesting

Kinja'd!!!

Yes, that’s the GT3 from cars and coffee and the Ferrari from the first pic.

Kinja'd!!!

That green El Camino in the background tho.

I’m pretty sure a McLaren and a Lambo (bro) showed up later because they usually do.

Kinja'd!!!

Oh and I’ve already started trying to do crazy aero on the Beetle. Ignore the broken crawlers in the background.

....You won’t turn the Beetle into Baja Bug with those crawler tires.

Not on those tires, no. But the ones from the 7475 Dino Attack set would look pretty good I’d imagine.

Kinja'd!!!

The main challenge would be the bodywork given how few pieces are produced in that blue color.

I am 88 magikarp away from my goal after yesterday. But I suppose that’s irrelevant now.

I just evolved my first gyrados yesterday, so pumped. I found out it’s not all about CP, you need to hit the new “appraising” function and look for the trainer to say something like “this pokemon amazes me!” before you evolve your magikarp.

There are secret stats and that’s how you figure em out. My Gyrados is only like 1400 but with a little work...

I don’t even have any shelves...just areas where I hope to have enough space left.
