Tucson Cars & Coffee April/May 2013 |
It had been a few years since I last attended Cars & Coffee. Lots of cool cars. Some highlights from the last two months include the Lamborghini Gallardo 550-2, Ferrari 275 GTB, Ferrari Daytona, Ferrari 458, Audi R8 V10, Aston Martin DB9, Mercedes SLS AMG, Plymouth Prowler, and many classic cars as well. As usual, there were too many Corvettes to count.
My new car, the Subaru BRZ, managed to garner a small amount of attention. Pictures can be found here (April) and here (May).

Tucson Cars & Coffee April/July 2010 |
I got lazy and didn't make a post for when I attended the April Cars & Coffee meet, so this will have to combine the two. The April meet had a good showing of Ferraris as well as some imports. There was also a new Camaro. Pictures from the April meet can be found here.
The July meet was yesterday, starting bright and early at 7 am. It was a pretty good turnout with 30+ cars. Some of the highlights included a Lamborghini Gallardo, Maserati Ghibli convertible, and an old Cadillac Fleetwood. Also present was a Viper GTS, 2011 Shelby GT500, and a fleet of Corvettes. Pictures from the July meet can be found here.

Forza 3 |
My wife got me Forza 3 for Christmas. I've really been enjoying it. It's basically everything Forza 2 was but better. The graphics are stunning and the physics are top notch as before. Before I played Forza 2 I was a big Gran Turismo fan. Now with Gran Turismo 5 delayed again and since I've already invested in a wheel for the Xbox 360 I don't see myself going back.
One of my favorite things to do in Forza is hot laps to see how far I can push the limits of a car. Typically I'm happy if I can get into the top 1000 ranked times on the leaderboards, but over the last few days I've really surprised myself. I managed to get a top 50 time on one track (Benchmark Ring E) for both the clockwise and counterclockwise directions. After a little tweaking I was able to improve that to 5th place for counterclockwise and 2nd place for clockwise! It help that it is a really short track, since I could do a lot of laps, but I was still really surprised that I could pull that off. No doubt I'll be knocked down several places over the next few months.

Tucson Cars & Coffee January 2010 |
The first Tucson Cars & Coffee of 2010. This month we combined with the east-side Cars & Coffee group and the turnout was quite good. Some highlights of cars that hadn't attended before include an Aston Martin Vanquish, Ford GT, Ferrari 328, Lotus Elise, and more. There was quite an assortment of Supras, Subarus, Corvettes, Mustangs, and hot rods as well. As always, I took pictures, which can be found here. I wish I had taken more of the Vanquish, as it was a beautiful car. I didn't realize until I had pulled the pictures off my camera that I hadn't got a decent front shot of it.

Tucson Cars & Coffee December |
I attended the Tucson Cars & Coffee again this month. There was a pretty good turnout. An Audi R8, Ferraris (400i, F355, F430), Porsches (911s, Boxster), Corvette Z06, Superformance Cobra, and more showed up. There was a Nissan 370Z too, but I'm not sure if it was there for the meet. A Lamborghini Gallardo drove by on Skyline, but didn't seem to notice our group. Pictures can be found here.

Tucson Cars & Coffee |
Back in September I attended the Tucson Cars & Coffee meet. I had meant to upload pictures sooner, but just hadn't been able to get around to it. The pictures can be viewed here. Not too much else to report for now.
