Okay, enough sad! Let’s get back to happy, aka Cars and Coffee, from two weeks ago. Spyker C8 Spyder McLaren P1 Scenes And then the Italians took over… Thank you for your indulgence. Never look a Camaro directly in the eye. My favorite car there, of course. The SRT Viper racer.

I’m Not Dead!
posted by Motorista
Yes, I’ve been gone for almost two months. Not just from the blog, but from home as well. In a big out-of-town trial that just keeps going…and going…and going… So the blog’s been on hold. I missed Formula 1, two Cars and Coffee events, the Jaguar Land Rover of Austin grand opening, the BMW i8 […]

Cars and Coffee Austin – August 10, 2014

Ah, Cars and Coffee. The only Sunday of the month where I cheerfully rise “early.” Sunday mornings have been scorchers around here lately, but that’s nothing to a true car fan. Just add a little strategic hydration, and you are good to go. I must say, I get a kick out of all the 20-something […]

Cars and Coffee Austin – July 13, 2014
posted by Motorista
It was a hot morning in Austin, Texas, but Thing 1 and I headed over to the Oasis for some gratuitous car-spotting. Here’s what we saw… A little Ford GT40 action. I got a kick out of this Ford DeLuxe. Oh, ok. I’ll take a little Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG and Aston Martin Vantage action on […]

Greetings from Galveston! (With a Side of Classic Mini)
posted by Motorista
Hello all – I’m still here! Between my Detroit weekend, a busy work week and getting ready for a family vacation, there hasn’t been much time for the old blog. But I haven’t forgotten you! I’m in Galveston for the next several days and looking forward to some good car spotting. I’ve already seen a […]

Cars and Coffee Austin – May 18, 2014
posted by Motorista
Today was a beautiful day for a little driving and car ogling, and I made the most of it. Up early (for me), camera in hand, I headed off to Cars and Coffee for a sensory feast. There was a great mix of cars today – classic, modern, used, new, exotic, exotic in a painful […]

Esotico Italiano – the Lamborghinis
posted by Motorista
Well, tomorrow was worth it! The Esotico Italiano show at the Oasis brought together more Lamborghinis (and Ferraris…and a DeTomaso!) than I have ever seen in one place before. And more orange. It was heavenly. Almost as fun as looking at and photographing the cars myself was watching little boys run breathlessly from one car […]

Damn You, Sinkhole!
posted by Motorista
What a bizarre story. A sinkhole opened under the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, Kentucky in the early-morning hours today, swallowing eight Corvettes. Perhaps it’s bad of me to say, but I was relieved to read that only one truly old Corvette, a 1962 C1 (first generation; the brand-new 2014 is a C7), was […]

Cars and Coffee Austin – February 9, 2014

Cars and Coffee – possibly the greatest concept in the history of time. And I don’t even like coffee. It’s a pretty basic idea – get a bunch of cars and car enthusiasts together for a laid-back, unofficial car show. The event, which originated in California (I think?), is actually franchised out to various locations, […]
