Raleigh Cars and Coffee - Feb '13

Another good showing at the Raleigh C&C. It started out really cold (21 degrees F) but slowly the lot filled to capacity.

Very nice showing! Yesterday I was tooling around in the Z, and a black Z4M Coupe was driving alongside me. I love seeing High Performance models all dirty with salt trails and dirty windows on the road. It means they are well driven, and well loved!

Nice pics Todd - sorry I missed it!

Well, we saw your son, and in fact, he's in one of the pictures. His car was being admired by a number of guys if he hadn't told you.

I asked why he didn't swipe the Cobra, and he explained the insurance issue. I'm not surprised; I think the average insurance agent would pass out with any person under 25 behind the wheel of a Cobra. After scaring the tarnation out of my four kids about the long-term cost of insurance, none has any tickets or accidents and their insurance is very manageable.

And the Cary cop pulling over the kid who couldn't resist tromping on the gas was very amusing. I was standing with a Cary officer who is a BMW guy, and he was telling us everything that was happening.

How many Coupes at Raleigh Cars and Coffee?

We had 3 in Charlotte..

[Telecomtodd]

1 this month - Doug brought his M. Dave didn't make it with either one of his Ms, and Brian was in Minnesoooota so he didn't bring his M.

And as usual, I had the only M Roady.

Thanks for confirming my son's whereabouts Todd! His older sister and him are home alone this weekend so I'm glad to see him up and about at the early hour. He ended up playing 4 hockey games in the next 24-hour span so I wasn't too worried about him getting into any trouble.

I feel your pain with the insurance issues...5 drivers and more than enough cars to go around = bend over.

We have 6 cars and four people on our policy, and 2 under 25. I found out Allstate has a limit of 5 per policy, and then they have to "join" a second policy for adding any more vehicles.

On the hockey part, I saw his stick in the car and figured as much!
