its basically down the street from where the meet is.

We're installing a cam in the Camaro so I guess we're just going to ride in the FR-S. Perhaps we'll meet up before heading down there as well.

I didn't mean my response to be rude...more joking. But yes, you have to get there early. There always seems to be empty spaces way out back where general cars park to come look at the "show", so that'll help for those of us not super early. It's a great event, non-sponsored, that displays everything from early 1900 cars, rat rods, classics, old and new muscle cars, imports, supercars, trucks, etc. Lots of families come out and it's somewhat "self policed"...meaning NO RACING, no burnouts, mild reving, and any stupid antics accidents that occur, that individual is usually shamed into not ever coming back.

Also, if you see someone collecting for police donations...please consider donating if you have the means. The police don't come for free and they do help with traffic so the locals don't complain to the property owner, thus we don't get kicked out (like we have in the two prior locations).

@BAE, what time do you usually get there?

I have been there 6.30, you may stretch it to 6.45, but last time the Fiat guys had taken our spot before 6.30. Enjoy! I will be there next time.

I took it as joking...no problem! I will try to be at TC in time to catch you guys...

PhastekSport · 10-05-2012, 06:05 PM

AM sir. That is my guess.

F1point4 · 10-05-2012, 07:26 PM

Have to back out. Car is in pieces right now; priority is putting her back together.

Up for other meets

DBacon1052 · 10-05-2012, 09:06 PM

Ill be at Taco Cabana at 5:45ish for sure this time. Hope to see y'all there. This will be my first cars & coffee.

PhastekSport · 10-05-2012, 10:14 PM

First here even thought the company goes out there a bit. We're bringing a 700hp automatic Camaro as well. Our red car is on the lift, but will be back out that evening for pictures.

Just got back from washing and running it on the dyno. As expected. Stock ~ 170hp and ~140ft/lbs tq.

boarder1995 · 10-05-2012, 10:54 PM

I'm coming in the BRZ, but I can't say I'll make it to Taco Cabana THAT early. So, I'll likely see y'all at the event. If spots fill up prior to my arrival, then it's my loss.

Badman Forever · 10-06-2012, 02:22 AM

i'm leaving the house at 6am. hope to arrive by 6:30-6:45. spots are filled normally by 7.

Any still open?

Badman Forever · 10-06-2012, 03:18 PM

I got there around 6:30am.. and it was already packed. As for the FR-S/BRZ.. they were pretty much scattered everywhere. It was hard to have everyone park together. I heard other car groups are now leaving their homes as early as 5:30am to get good spots! -_-
