    Cars & Coffee - Columbus 08/15/2020

    Lotsa stuff cancelled this year but always fun to head down when possible.

    Had a decent amount new Corvette C8`s rolling in and out:


    Self-serving, gratuitous picture of our Cayman:


    Not sure what the deal was with this Lambo SUV was but probably the loudest car there (sound and color):


    Ferrari TDF:


    Ferrari, Lamborghini, McLaren...eh, if I hit the lotto I`m heading to the Acura dealer (and choosing a color other than black):



    Sometimes just sitting on a rock and watching things go by is a preferred activity.

    Very cool! And yes, the NSX is pretty snazzy.

    When I saw that this event was happening. I was hoping you were going so we would get pictures. Thank you budget, i really enjoy your pictures of these events. Wish i still lived in Michigan, I`d drive down for some of these.
    Making someone else happy, is one of the best feelings.

    I figure it`t be a pretty fun car without all the PITA maintenance issues of a `true` exotic. Even as a lotto winner, the last thing I`d want us a toy that ya can`t play with.

    There was one with us last week and while it may not have that screaming engine note of a V12, it has the guts to keep up with no worries.

    I guess sometimes less is more as Chevy continues to affix those chrome Stingrays to cars. If not for the indentations in the body where the emblems go, I`d have em all removed on wife`s C7; they catch towels when drying, provide a safe haven for residual water after a wash...generally a PITA. I did have chrome Stingrays removed on our car when it was PPF`d.

    Cars & Coffee - Columbus 08/15/2020 Think the next one at Esoteric is Sept 19 or close to that, planning on going.

    Anymore, looking at the cars is fun but have also met some truly interesting and entertaining folks down there, just hanging out is the primary draw.

    And of course, poking around their shop to see what`s going on is fun. If I did this detailing stuff more I`d have a tape dispenser on the wall like they have everywhere.

    At the end of the day, I`m still a detailing dork Cars & Coffee - Columbus 08/15/2020

    Thanks BudgetPlan1 for the car show photos. Like you said, with the pandemic going on and so many events being cancelled, it is nice to see some car events being held.
    Nice pic of your Cayman!! Fits right in with the rest of those cars. Maybe not ultra-exotic, but exotic enough. It IS a Porsche!!!

    What do you (or more precisely, your significant other) think of the new C8 Corvette? I assume you have not driven one (yet!) but did talk to some of the C8 owners on their thoughts.

    Also, thanks for the photo of the painter`s tape dispenser. Why? Did not know their was a platinum version of the 3M (Scotch) Blue tape.
    I assume you do not know who designed and manufactures the dispenser or if it is a 3M design.

    AND, I would hardly label you as a "detailing dork". Your shared experiences with coatings in this forum is legendary. This forum and its members have (and are) benefited greatly from them. (Captain Obvious? THERE`S a "detailing dork" who asks too many questions!)

    There`s just sooo much going on in Columbus in an automotive sense, total entertainment in a variety of ways.
    Great people/events...amazing times, lotsa laughing, always drive home with a smile which is much-needed this year Cars & Coffee - Columbus 08/15/2020

    Thanks! Cayman is the most entertaining car I`ve ever owned, my own personal amusement park ride every time I turn the key! And it stays remarkably clean w little effort; metallic gray paint is the single best self-cleaning product known to man!

    I`ve sat in a C8, never driven one though. Those who have are quite pleased.

    Corvettes (the C8 I sat in as well as our C7) just aren`t roomy enough for my tastes, too `cockpit-ish`. They`re kinda big cars to me and I`d guess I`m just a small-car person which is probably why I like Cayman so much...and the Cayman deceptively roomy inside and crazy comfortable for long drives. Idint much care for the large back end of the C8, over all the looks of the C7 are my preference. C8 does look better 8n person than in pics, though, especially in lighter colors...looks less bulky.

    This is actually kinda embarrassing but I have pic of tape dispenser data plate; cropped a bit but I think pertinent info is there. Cars & Coffee - Columbus 08/15/2020

    BudgetPlan1- I just hope you managed to avoid infection with COVID-19.

    Setec Astronomy- Heh heh, so *that* is why I clicked on a Cars/Coffee thread for the first time in [forever], so I could respond to that expectation OK, wouldn`t want to disappoint ya: You`re exactly as old as you feel; if that`s not what you want it be then you`re doing something wrong

    So far, so good.

    The Columbus C & C folks are pretty well staffed & organized and adhering to the State requirements involves roving `compliance` staffers to issue gentle reminders to those who `forget`. The organization of these events is pretty impressive compared to other C & C`s I`ve seen/gone to. While motors are rev`d on occasion, I have yet to see the `exiting event stupidity` that plagues so many of the other gatherings of this type. I think there was 1 car (a Dodge Charger) who pondered some misbehavior on the road out but it drew attention pretty quickly and nothing came of it. If one is looking for smoky burnouts and excessive displays of speed and poor judgement, these particular events will definitely leave ya disappointed.

    After those Dodge commercials where people act irresponsibly, that doesn`t surprise me about the Charger owner. But I`m sure glad everybody else takes a dim view of such nonsense.

    And BTW/FWIW, I`d *MUCH* rather have your Cayman than one of those hulking spaceships that can`t be driven at 4/10ths on a public road without risking serious consequences.
