Cars and Coffee Dallas to shut down

Regardless on how you feel about it lately, thats one less car event for the area. Was nice that it was hosted at Classic BMW too.

I'm guessing same thing that happened in Boise. People showing off that dont know how to control there cars. Some guy in Boise burned out leaving the event, lost control and mowed through a group of people.

Basically the official reason was that they quality of cars in attendance has declined over the years. The staff didn't want to turn anyone away since it was first come first served but as a result, alot of really good cars would get turned away when the lot filled up with cars that weren't "show worthy".

These last two events though will have some sort of enforcement on the car worthyness. So interesting to see what happens

We get a lot of generic crap at ours too. Waaaaay too many mustangs, camaros, and vettes to make going worth while anymore.

Too many unrealistic owners with clapped out imports and rows of V6 Mustangs showing up at 5am. People with real show worthy cars roll up after their morning coffee and they’re turned away because the lot is already full.

I suspect the last two shows will be what they should have always been. C&C franchise will find another venue and hopefully use common sense when filling the lot.

Looks like there may be a new Cars and Coffee in Southlake next year... Should be interesting to see how it goes. it's just a shell of an Instagram page though so no telling if it is real or not at this point. https://www.instagram.com/carsandcoffeesouthlake/
