Went to Cars and Coffee in MN today

[RedArmy]

The event is hosted a bit to the southwest of Minneapolis at the AutoMotorPlex. You can find out more about it here along with seeing some pictures: http://www.mncandc.com/

I had never been before and it was an awesome experience. Hundreds of cars, thousands of people, all together in the very early morning hours.

I got there just before 7 and parking in the event was already becoming difficult. I saw a Carrera GT for the first time along with many other rare cars (including a Mclaren P1).

You can see the video I took of both arriving and leaving here: https://youtu.be/jufgfv2qPm0

All in all, was totally worth it and will definitely be doing it again in the future!

I've been to a few here in the Triangle (Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill area) and it has always been a blast! Would recommend anyone who likes cars.

Have been attending these for awhile in Dallas and it's definitely a nice event!

I planned on going to the Atlanta one today. Washed the car and everything last, but just couldn't get out of bed. Don't know about yours, but you have to show up an hour before it officially starts or you aren't getting a spot.

I rode through one of these events once on my Ducati... didn't bother to stop.

Yeah, the official starting time was 8am but there are people there 2 hours before. I can't even fathom being up that early. Getting there a bit before 7 was my limit.

I think the earliest I've been there was ~05:30, only because a friend wanted a spot for his Supra.

Heard about this on Motorweek. no idea if they have one near me but it'd be cool to go to.

Yep, you got it. First Saturday of every month during the Spring/Summer time. I plan to go again, weather pending of course!

Going good, the few freelancers we found flaked out and disappeared though, so if you ever get time hit me up, we're still looking .

I'm like you... Katie's Cars and Coffee in Great Falls, VA always has some nice high dollar cars that come out, but they start around 5-6AM. If you show up later, there is no parking anywhere
