Haha If the cops didn't literally sit at the entrance I would do it. Looking cold and rainy so I probably wont anyway.

A few shots from Katie's this past Saturday - really varied selection which was rather awesome:

Every time Japanese Classics lists a gangster Nissan Cedric I desperately want it

I had to stop and admire this mint, bone-stock NA Miata for a bit. I feel like these really have swept up and into true-classic status in the last couple of years and I dunno, seeing this one presented as it was just seemed "different"

Maximum 90's nostalgia

Such a clean look, the 997.1 GT3. I don't think the current ones hold a candle to it design-wise.

Super clean R32 GT-R

This looked better in person than in photos. McLaren appears capable of designing the prettiest and downright ugliest exterior features (sometimes in the same car) but hey, this was more than alright.

nice pixx0rs. next time I head up i should be able to stick around a little longer.

RE: The Cars & Coffee, Etc. Pic Thread - JPolen01 - 05-14-2018

I don't understand the miata thing. Low mileage miatas keep popping up on BaT, are they supposed to be something special? I get that it is rare to find one in pristine shape with low miles, but are people really paying a premium for one of these?

Agreed x10000 on the 997 GT3RS. That generation is simply perfect looking from every angle. The new cars are great, but if I was able to select any car to have as my own it would be a 997 GT3 without a doubt. Simply gorgeous.

Word, sorry I missed your departure - need to see that bike next time!

I think you answered your own question there - it is getting more difficult to find clean NA's (and NB's too, really), and there's of course a huge fan-base for them, so we're getting into supply vs. demand on pricing. Plus, the car was a huge deal when it debuted so it is "important" (to say nothing of its growth, accomplishments & importance since then), and we've got the whole 90's nostalgia/analog desire market forces to apply to them as well. So yeah, I totally get why they're popping up on BaT and do believe they're a bonafide classic now.

nostalgia is a hell of a drug.

It must be. At least with a supra I can understand the allure and rarity.

RE: The Cars & Coffee, Etc. Pic Thread - .RJ - 05-14-2018

its the same reason i start getting weak in self control of my bank account when I see a white ITR on BaT.

a 5 year old accord is faster, but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

in 20 years you'll have a hard-on for an old busted turbo GTI... while the rest of the world is driving spaceships or some shit.

RE: The Cars & Coffee, Etc. Pic Thread - Apoc - 05-14-2018

Pretty sure there is no car I'd pay a premium for. Well, except maybe a B5 S4 that is guaranteed to never break.

RE: The Cars & Coffee, Etc. Pic Thread - ScottyB - 05-17-2018

that R32 makes me moist. if i had one, those wheels would be first on the "must get" list.

RE: The Cars & Coffee, Etc. Pic Thread - Goodspeed - 10-15-2018

Went up to Philly yesterday for Radwood. It was good times Cool

Yeah, a FGT isn't from the 80's or 90's...but it gets a pass...

I noticed this was the only car that had two pics posted. I can't imagine why...

edit: I was wrong. The shoe with a bike rack also has two.

(A) lulz. I was just waiting for your reaction to that one Big Grin

(B) Evergreen it is, first M coupe I've seen in that color (I think I've seen a roadster, once). I want to say the owner is el jefe of the region's BMW CCA, and it had a PA tag on the back that just said "M".

(Ca) I did not propose on the spot unfortunately because (Cb) she whisked herself hurriedly away from a horde of oncoming dudes who were nearer to where she parked; I at least had the decency to notice her while being some tens of yards away using my telephoto lens...

that is about as flawless as a short-wheelbase UR-Quattro coupe in tarmac rally trim gets. those tri-fog light mounts... *swoon*

those are so rad. i love thosee 80s and 90s cars; so well done.

RE: The Cars & Coffee, Etc. Pic Thread - Apoc - 10-15-2018

There's an exotics club by me that meets every week and is pretty hardcore about what they let in. I've never managed to get my car out for various reasons (it's not in Seattle), but they do a good job of getting a lot of really interesting cars out. They do theme days, like Italian, Mini, German, etc. but I've also managed to miss the German days because we're always camping or something. Anyway, he's some photos (that aren't mine) from the show last weekend - the last of the season. I think they had like 350 cars out there.
