South OC Cars And Coffee events were started sometime after the legendary Irvine events were shut down.  And this one definitely filled an unmet need. Because it quickly out-grew the original location and now hosts between 500 and 600 cars weekly.  And if your vehicle has wheels and a motor, it sounds like it’s welcome here. Common sights include supers, hypers, muscle, classics, rods, trucks, [...]

Poway Cruisers Car Meet is a monthly cruise-in. Hosting is its namesake car club.  The club started in 2006.  But many of the cars owned by the club’s members have been around long before.

Classic Cars And Coffee in Northridge is a solid purist event. Specifically, I’m referencing two things; unlimited coffee refills courtesy of Western Bagel and, no daily drivers.  At least none that I noticed in the official line-up.  In fact, the group prefers pre-1980 classic cars. So all the cars there were project cars.  As expected, many of them were in various states of progress.  But [...]

Cars and Coffee Chino Hills is a super-casual and relaxed event.  Taking place every Sunday it features a mix of muscle, hot rods, customs, antiques, and, newer vehicles. Anything and everything is welcome and on display.  And it doesn’t matter if the car is finished and perfect or a project in the works. Because I noticed a few for sale signs on the cars there too.  Automotive chit-chat is [...]

You’ll see a lot more than Ferraris, Lamborghinis, and McLarens when you hit the Supercar Sunday Car Show. Because surprisingly, when I stopped by in late March, I spotted only one of those exotic cars. In fact, I saw far more muscle cars, antiques, hot rods, lowriders, and ‘other’ vehicles at this weekly cars and coffee meet. That said, Supercar Sunday is a super-cool weekly car show that’s [...]
