Welp.. never doing that again.
Got there at 5:45, and there was a long line, per usual. However, when they finally started allowing cars in, they kept waving a block of us around until finally the lot was full. When I approached an official to ask how things are determined, whether it's first come first serve, or if there actually is a standard for cars, he told me it was first come first serve, as he was letting in a bunch of random crap AFTER telling me the lot was full. When they let in a beat up old volvo station wagon with peeling paint, sagging headliner and nothing special about it at all.. I about lost it. I asked why they weren't letting my car in, and what I was told was that it's just a Camaro.. nothing special about it. When I scoffed and pointed out it was a Z28, and it's definitely plenty special, he said nope, it's just another worthless plastic car. It wasn't cars and coffee... it was Mustangs and s***lords. So much trash cars there (edit: by trash, I mean trashed. Mud covered, dented accords/civics etc.).. they even let someone with his beat up work truck, dents; tool box and all get in. Sigh. Right when the Mustangs all started redlining as a group did the wife and I decide to leave. They can keep their One-Direction-Haircut, V6 ricer wing and sticker-covered, tinny-sounding exhaust group. 3 full rows of Mustangs. Now I remember why I stopped going 5 years ago.

Lesson learned. 6 years since I last went, and good riddance going forward. The amount of insults thrown Chevy's way, not just Camaro, was really stunning.
My wife got a kick out of my running commentary as we walked around, so there's that at least. Certainly regretted waking up that early for such disappointment, but it is what it is. |

Looking at moving to the Austin area in about 3 years when I retire, how is life there? Seasonal weather ok? Any local area issues?

Well, it'll be plenty hot, so not having A/C will cause you to not want to drive.. ask me how I know. lol
Other than that, Austin is weird in a good way. I drive down there regularly and while there are the usual nutjob Fast & Furious groups around, the beer scene is excellent and it's pretty pleasant. Not cheap though. |

you will like the winters here, summers not so much I grew up near Chicago and miss northern summers. Austin is a very Blue city in a sea of red Texas, no state income tax and roads are better. IDK Austin that well but DFW has a lot of non natives like myself PS Austin is growing like crazy and is getting alot of traffic I'd recommend living out and away from the city

C&C in Austin recently relocated out to COTA, no shortage of parking there and the event is managed appropriately, there is no cherry picking who gets in at what time. |
