Cars and Coffee

I figured out that the white balance on my camera was set to something funky during the Dallas Mustang Open House. That is why most of the pictures look funny. They came out with a blue tint and then I tried to edit them in Photoshop Elements. Needless to say, I have a lot to learn on both fronts.

Cars and Coffee is an event that began in California several years ago. It finally made its way to Dallas. It is held the last Saturday of every month in Plano/Frisco from 8am - noon. It is just a large get together, no prizes, no awards. Just 'Cars and Coffee'. This was the first time that we have gone. I overheard someone say there were over 600 cars there. I don't know what the final count was, but I do know there was more money there than I would EVER know what to do with.


There is more money in this car ALONE than I would EVER know what to do with.
It is an ORIGINAL 1964 Cobra 427. Out of the 20 or so out there that day, this was the only original one. The rest were replicas.




When most people do flames on a car, it is painted on. This guy, I can only assume, took a piece of sheet metal and actually formed it into the body of the car. It was 3D. If I were to do flames, I would do them like this.

Dallas Mustang Open House 2009

Dallas Mustang Open House is in October. Luckily, in past years it was either the weekend before or the weekend after the car show at the Dairy Queen in Seven Points (The car club Poppa is a member of hosts). Unfortunately, this year they landed on the same weekend. With Open House proving profitable in years past, I couldn't pass on this year. Good thing I didn't, we won some great prizes. Here are some pictures:

This Black 2003 Cobra, won 1st in our class.

This car also won 1st in his class.

A friend of Jeremy's owns this fastback. He has put a lot of time and money into it.

Look closely, you can see the reflection of Jeremy's car.
