Default Caffeine & Gasoline™- 2 July 2010 @ Griot's Garage Tacoma. *Pic Heavy*

Hey everybody. I thought you all might enjoy this, seeing as we are a site of Automotive Enthusiasts. Today there was a Meet/Show at Griot's Garage on 38th St in Tacoma WA, called Caffeine & Gasoline™. The Weather was AMAZING. Couldn't beat it. 65 and Sunny all morning. A rare event in the PNW. The event is open to all who want to come, and you can bring your stock 94 Civic Hatch, or your Ferrari. All are welcome and that brings quite a diverse coalescence of automobiles from all over the PNW. Without further ado, enjoy the pix! Mine of course will be the first one shown LOL.


^Big Blue after a GRUELING 16-hour all night detailing session. I am smoked. I am posting this thread and going to bed LOL.


^a Lada. I spoke briefly with the owner, who is russian. He shipped it over from Moscow.


^NSX, a beautiful example. Has 6,200 miles on it. I did not get to speak with the owner, but man what a car.


2011 Challenger SRT-8. Factory 4 piston Brembo's? I'll take it!


^2011 Fiat 500. Is it the Abarth?


^the original Griot's Garage Porsche. Drool.


^Duh...we all know what that is. Holy Crap.


^a blurry Bel-Aire.


^a Mint 80's 3 series convertible.

More comin'...

^Old T-Bird. Rare to find one in perfect condition.



^72? Porsche 911. Owner was nowhere to be found so I couldn't find the exact year.


^New Shelby GT500. If you see one on the streets, just mind your business. Don't try to race it. You will **** off the driver, and you will likely lose...horribly.


^Hurst Mustang GT. WOW.


^Nice Camaro Restoration


^Dinan Tuning Stage 1 BMW 1 Series. For Sale too! LOL.

Better take a seat, this is gonna take awhile. Got at least 3 more posts of 10 pix each...BRB.

^just a Cobra Convertible...just.


^a 30's vintage custom. Nicely done.


^Chevy SS/R.


^Camaro RallyeSport. 396? I think so.



^'62 Corvette Gasser. BRB...Fap time.


^Plymouth GTX (Pretty Rare).


^SuperBee



^Alfa Romeo. Not sure which/year, but this is the first one of these I have seen in person, so they are rare here in the states.

Still more to come...hold on to your butt.

No, its on a Ramp, kinda backed into a sunken driveway deal. The whole place is neat. I had to buy something, so I purchased some Griot's Garage Quick Shine (Meguiar's UQD Equivalent) For $9.99.

Anywhoo...you would think this is a normal MG Right? \/


Well...you would be wrong. You shoulda heard this thing pull in...



^It didnt come out, but that data plate says "MG Cobra-Series #1, Serial # 001. That means, its original .




^ A friend of mine from RamForumZ.com showed up, so of course we had to park together.

Now this...I have no idea what this is...I have never seen one before. I think it might be a Dodge Coronet...but its WAY too big...have a gander:



Any idea?


^911 Turbo...gnarly.

And thats pretty much it...
