In the Fast Lane


My family is coming home from the Car capital of the world, Dubai, where they saw a gold plated Ferrari among other exotic cars everywhere. Now that they have a new found fascination with cars, I’m looking forward to taking them to Cars and Coffee in Irvine to show them what it is all about.


Cars and Coffee is an event held at 5:30-6AM every Saturday morning in Irvine. It was originated in Crystal Cove off Pacific Coast Highway years back when a few wealthy car enthusiasts began meeting in a parking lot during the early hours of the morning to talk about and show one another their mutual enthusiasm/love for cars. The word spread about these exotic cars gathering in this location at the same time each week and more people began to bring their own cars. Over time this has become an "insiders" car show. There is no advertisement for it and it doesn't cost anything to show your car. You just have to KNOW about it to attend or even find it.


The event has grown nationally over the years and spread to other areas of the country such as Jacksonville FL, Las Vegas, Charlotte NC, Omaha NB, Honolulu HI, and others. It has very recently become nationally recognized with gatherings being held in Belgium and Netherlands.

This is where some of my own enthusiasm and recognition in the car industry has flourished. I was fortunate enough to have my car photographed a couple of times and shown on the website along side of other noteworthy exotics!

Basically almost all of Orange County's wealthy automotive owners attend this event religiously, on any giving Saturday you can be sure to find BILLIONS of dollars worth of exotic/high end cars at this place that you would never see anywhere else unless you find these millionaires and sneak on their property and into their garages haha. That's the caliber of some of these cars, plenty of them never even see the public roads due to their exclusivity.
