No Respect for AMG's at Irvine Cars and Coffee
Hello everybody,
I just returned from a family vacation down to Southern California this weekend. I took the family to Disneyland, so I stayed with a friend of mine that lives in Tustin, that I went to Medical School with. My buddy also had a 2009 C63 AMG that has minor upgrades, including 19 inch multispoke rims, Vorsteiner diffuser, and akropovic exhaust. My buddy offered to take me to Irvine Cars and Coffee on Saturday, do I gladly accompanied him to the event. I am an avid cat enthusiast and give respect to all types of car years, makes and models. This was my first visit to Cars and Coffee, and I was so excited to finally go to it. We arrived at the Mazda lot at approx 7am and the lot was full so we waited in the line of cars into the lot. We had to wait until a car would leave, until they would let another car into the lot. In comes a metallic green 60's Mustang GT 350 behind us. After waiting a bit, as cars are slowly being let in, the driver of the Mustang gets out of his car, and comes up to our car and says the following,"can you do us all a favor and get out of this line. This show is for classic cars only and no one cares about your AMG. We all have one of those at home.". My friend and I looked back at him and didn't say a word, as we were both shocked at what he was saying. After, telling him to get back to his car, he meekly old us, " oh well, you can do whatever you want though.". Like we needed this ***hole's permission or something. There was no way we were even going to consider getting out of line now and parking in the accessory parking garage. We were even considering letting people cut in front of us in line to further irritate this obnoxious ****-ant! We both eventually made it into the lot and walked around the show. Nice makeup of classics, sports, GT's and exotics on display. We met up with a couple of my buddies friends, including a guy who was supposed to bring his CLK 63 Black Series, but decided against bringing it to the show. Saw one other white C63
parked next to an orange CLK 63 Black Series. Pretty cool in my book, but obviously not in others' opinion.
Are there really a lot of ***holes out at the Cars and Coffee events, or did we just run into a rare " bad apple?". Is there a consensus at the type of events, that are cars do not belong? I have never run into this type of person at car events up in Northern California. I'm just saying...

reminds me a little of this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=20SNM...&feature=feedf
That guy sounded like a complete *****, did anyone else at the event even care? Or did everyone stand around and stare?

The Atlanta Caffeine and Octane or whatever it is called is a pretty chill place. Everything from lime green Lambo's and LF-A's to primer paint rat rods and everything in between (how about a Soviet radial engined air boat?). Everybody seems to appreciate the diversity and apart from some of the makes tending to park together (especially the Mopar guys) no body tries to exclude anybody or anything. Just a bunch of car guys that appreciate everything there for what it is.

A true car enthusiast wouldn't diss anyone else at an event like that. This guys was a jerk and jealous. He should attend car shows that are just for "classic cars" not cars & coffee.

I've been to the Houston cars and coffee.... and to be honest I'd rather catch either a small event with my local amg buds, or an all classic car event in my wifes small town north of PA.... just a bunch of regular joes with vintage sports cars and muscle cars.
The houston cars and coffee was the who's got the biggest.... er uhm..... car budget competition.

Sorry you had to deal with that Jean.
Stay away from Irvine.

Unfortunately money doesn't buy class. I've been to Irvine C&C plenty of times and talking to the people there, most are cool, but there are some there who think they're the sht and look down on everyone. The C&C up in norcal (Santana Row and San Ramon) are much more chill.

That guy is probably jealous that his Mustang is only 1/2 of price of your AMG. Anyways, I've been there with my AMGs and never had encounter that kind of problems. Matter of fact that AMG is so rare at Cars and Coffee because it is always overcrowded with Mustangs and Corvettes. They should really appreciate AMG owners coming to this event. By the way, that Satin Orange CLK BS is my car you parked next to it. Other members and I are planning to go to this upcoming Cars and Coffee this Saturday. You should come again and we will go early and park at Mustang's section. This would be very interesting!!!

What a douche bag!!
Sorry to hear about that Jean, Ive never really encountered a person that bad mouths others at C&C, though I do occasionally see people that have they're nose high up in the air "thinking" they are the sh*t.
I cant stand clowns like that.

Yeah Guppy,
Your CLK Black is one awesome looking machine. I'm not sure who's white C63 was that parked next to your car. I came to C & C in my friend's Steel Grey C63 and we parked in the second row, 2 rows from the coffee table. Wish I could make another show, but I was only down in Socal for vacation last week. I am from Norcal and was down in LA taking the family to Disneyland and hanging out with old friends. I was also able to eat at the Guppy House in Irvine on Thurs. night. Great food with good energy! I remember reading on a previous post of yours that you had something to do with these restaurants. The guy that insulted us had a pretty nice GT 350 that I can appreciate, but it just shocked me that he would come out and say that crap to our faces. I think if he ever said that type of stuff in any other city but Irvine, someone could have thrown down on him or worse done something to his "precious vehicle". All I know is by the looks that we gave him, he must have thought that there was a distinct possibility that something bad could happen. However, I would never damage another person's nice ride. Some cars don't deserve their "in my own world" owner. He will get his someday if he continues to treat other people like that.

Should have smoked the tires and give him a blast of burnt rubber LOL. Every friday at the local Chick Fil A, there is a classic car get together. Mostly American muscle but there are imports in a section by themselves (european, japanese, italian). Seems that everyone gets along. Too bad you had a d-bag behind you.

Though most car enthusiasts appreciate the diversity of cars and the experience of driving them, unfortunately people also use cars to assert status, wrestle with insecurities, gain attention, etc.
I would expect both of these tendencies to be magnified and made more overt at car gatherings, so these events have the potential to be both fun and annoying, depending on who you interact with.
The closest I've come to attending a car gathering was the AMG Driving Academy at Lime Rock. Most of the people there were cool and fun to be with, but there were a few that I found annoying (like the guy who couldn't drive but wanted to make sure we all knew he had a Ferrari).
