(jackson dreams potential cars and coffee)

ya i saw that. not fare to call that cc. thats 8 friends that got together.

imo opinion CC needs to welcome young people (like FF crowd,) older guys (hot rodders,) rich peeps (exotics) and even bystanders that just saw it when they drove by.

the fact that no one knew about it is horrible. (elitist-nazi car club)

Yes, this is not a formal "Cars & Coffee". As Jackson said it's a bunch of friends who get together informally to hang out and go on drives. Angel has posted pictures of this for a long time. Chad is a new "member" to this group since he bought his Maseratti.

I agree with Jackson.

I saw we start getting together and inviting as many people as possible.

Slowly spread the word and hopefully the crowd will grow.

Have to start somewhere right?

i make myself laugh sometimes.

i've thought about this a lil.... let me share

In my opinion it's all about location, location, location. kc is very spread out so which side of the city, down to the parking lot, are crucial

and crowd. all people young, old, rich or poor, AS LONG AS YOUR RESPECTIVE, should be welcome. i feel like the FF crowd isnt for some people. Just because its you guys i'll say this, there needs be less punk kids & more adults (coming from a punk kid hehe). but I think the nature of early morning car show will level that ratio a lil

my fear, if you start small, people wont think it's cool when they see pics and will forever be a uphill climb.

gotta land it on the first try really. mass promote. posters in auto parts stores, invite all auto&bike clubs within kc, spread word on interwebz like it was end of world. heck bring in a news crew/newspaper to first one to keep it self-sustaining.

think of it like this, if only handful of people showed up to the first couple FF's then i dont think it would have never got off the ground.

I checked out some of the Cars & Coffee and they seem to happened at Starbucks. Maybe you should start there...Find a Starbucks to sponsor this.

Re. location I recommend south Johnson County. Lot's of exotic cars there which accounts for their attendance at FF.

There is a Starbucks on the north side of 135th east of Metcalf.....across the street from the Winsteads by Church of the Resurrection.

Again, the ones I've checked into are morning events starting about 8 am to about 10:30 am. That way they won't disrupt the nearby businesses and can even draw customers.
