December C&C had 3 of us there, last month only had a couple of us. I should be there, not sure who else though.

However, there has been a pretty good turnout the past couple months, and there should be a better turnout this month now that the weather is a bit warmer.

Cool. Hopefully the car doesn't get too dirty on the way, talk of rain friday night, and it already needs a wash from the snow. Hope to see you there.

I will not be at the Greenville cars and coffee this time around. I am stuck close to base for the weekend but I will possibly be at the Columbia one. Hopefully I can make it home next month and see yall out there.

That sucks man. Next month is definitely the one to be at with the CU-ICAR event right after.

TBH, I was tempted to drive down to Columbia's this month, but I'm too lazy to get up at 6 AM to make it down there around 8:15-8:30ish .

May have to venture back down in March for that CU-ICAR deal.

Good turnout, I saw a lot of NC plates, I assume because the Charlotte event is no longer.

Was this @Burninator I parked next too?



and??

[Burninator]

Yes that was me. I met the guy that owns the Hot Lava FR-S last month, but I can't remember if he said he frequents the forum.

Quick note about this month's C&C meet from the Cars & Coffee Facebook page:

"Cars & Coffee of the Upstate Supporters,

The next event is Saturday, March 22 at Michelin’s North America Headquarters.

IMPORTANT NOTICE:
TO ACCOMMODATE THE LARGE CROWDS, WE ARE MOVING TO THE MAIN PARKING LOT BEHIND MICHELIN

As the number of vehicles at these events has continued to increase, Michelin has agreed to move the event to their main parking lot behind the headquarters building. The previous lot we were using had 385 spaces and the main lot has a total of 778 spaces available. Thanks to Michelin for providing the extra space.

To access the new lot, turn off of Pelham Road onto The Parkway. Go to the second traffic light and turn right onto Parkway East. Follow the signs to the entrance of the main lot where Parkway East turns left to become Dry Pocket Road. (See attached diagram)

I am asking all of you who support and enjoy Cars & Coffee of the Upstate to help spread the word that we want the event to continue as a celebration of the car hobby in the Upstate. Let’s keep the event a place that all hobbyists, families and friends can enjoy in a safe manner by continuing to observe all traffic laws.

Michelin’s cafeteria will continue to have regular coffee, latte, mocha and hot chocolate available, along with various flavorings that can be added at time of ordering. They will also have various pastries for sale. They can accept cash, but as they are not a Starbucks retail location, they cannot accept Starbucks drink cards.

Event information:

Event: Cars & Coffee of the Upstate
Date: Saturday, March 22
Frequency: 4th Saturday of the month
Time: 8:00 AM - 11:00 AM

Location: Michelin North America Headquarters
1 Parkway South & Pelham Road

Main parking lot behind Michelin’s Headquarters
Behind the Marriott Hotel
Follow the Signs
Intersection of Pelham Road and The Parkway
At Exit 54 of I-85 in Greenville, SC"

If it is anything like last month though, gotta get there early to get a good spot .

I'll be going if some of you want to meet up so we can park together.

I'd be down for that. Seeing as the Starbucks lot is really small and usually packed C&C mornings, something like the back of the Walmart parking lot behind the Starbucks would work better for a meetup spot, i.e.:


I usually arrive at Starbucks for a Caramel Apple Spice right around 8 AM =).

[Snowblind]

Works for me. Walmart parking lot at 8am then?

Damn...I was not planning on being in town this weekend but I may have to make the trip up for this...Maybe..

Hehe. Will be awesome to have you up here again for C&C. Place was packed last month and probably will be close to it again even with the bigger parking lot.

One of these days I'll make it down to the Columbia C&C - probably the June one if it is held earlier in the month. Will be in Nashville attending a concert on the 28th of June so I'll miss Greenville's .
