PICS! Cars and Coffee Austin (Leander) TX 4/3/11

Hi All! Had a really good time at Cars and Coffee today.

My Uncle Lloyd decided to come over with my Dad, and my wife decided she wanted to go too. My younger brother Dave showed up at my house as well. Dad and Uncle Lloyd took my Roady Wagon, my uncle actually drove the wagon for the first time. I think he liked it. I put my brother Dave in the 79 Buick Electra, he was cracking up, normally he drives small cars and the 79 seemed HUGE to him. Misty, Tuck and I drove my Cutlass, T-tops off of course.

Really neat to have all three toys at the event. Sadly I was never able to get all three parked next to each other. The Roady was up front, with the 79 Limited and the 88 Cutlass behind it. As the show wore on and people moved around I was able to get the 79 next to the wagon and the Cutlass one car over.

Lloyd and Misty had never been to a Cars and Coffee, and they really enjoyed it. We brought a cooler full of sodas, lawn chairs, and bought sausage wraps there. Good stuff. Lots of neat cars to see, nice folks to visit with, and all my cars got a lot of nice comments.

On with the pics!

On the road with all the toys, David in front, us in the Cutty in the middle, and Dad and Lloyd in my Roady behind us. Big American Car Caravan!

Other folks pulling in:





This was really cool. Met these folks through the Station Wagon Forum. They're from the UK, and he had G-body wagons and has a Riviera. They are visiting the US and staying in the hill country out in Llano. Sadly with all my running around we really didn't get to talk long, but it was really nice to meet them!

Ok, ready for this....this is the all-new and very rare Lexus LFA "Supercar". It was very impressive, it had a WILD exhaust note...and then I heard the price. The list price is $375,000...but THIS one has a $75K markup....and was listed at $450,000. I just can't get my head around a $450K Toyota....







And this was parked just down from the Lexus LFA. The fact that I remember cars like this is what keeps me from taking a $450K Toyota seriously...
