The weather forecast for Cars and Coffee looks to be good. It's going to be a chilly morning so dress warm. They have the lows @ 26* with a high of 55*. Once again don't forget to drive slow going in the the show due to the dip. Have fun and if you go take pictures and let us know about the new locations.

Just wanted to post this up. This was on Cars and Coffee's Facebook.
Thanks to Concordia University Texas, our show sponsors, both spectators and show entrants, and Stony High School Solar Car Team for the biggest show Cars and Coffee Austin has ever seen! The attendance was overwhelming, by far more than expected.

We ask for your patience and understanding in the transition process at Concordia University Texas. It was our first show there, and if you know the team that runs it, you know we are very small and managed as best we could with overwhelming show of support for our first show of the year. We are working out the kinks and learning, as with any event in any new location.

We genuinely apologize to all who waited in line for so long and were turned away when we reached capacity. Going forward we will be working on several ways to ease the traffic and parking situation.

With all that said, we hear/see your complaints and suggestion. We are working diligently to make the next show better. We appreciate all the suggestions on locations but cannot keep moving the show around. There is a lot invested into the event; time, people, organization, money, security, logistics etc. Also, with the stigma carried by car shows, it’s a bit more difficult to convince a venue to let you host an event.

We noticed some of the repeat negative behavior as well and ask that you do not attend the show if that is what you’d like to do. In addition to growth, one of the reason we had to leave The Oasis is the burnouts, revving, and load music. Please be aware, Concordia University Texas will not tolerate this and has residential apartments as neighbors. If we want the show to continue everyone MUST respect the location at its surroundings. Not only does this behavior negatively impact the car show image, it causes us to get kicked out of locations we are lucky to have hosting. Lets all work together to keep the show going for the rest of 2018.
