Cars and Coffee Kick-Off 2026

SPOILER ALERT!
This brand new ZR1 Corvette was just built in November 2025. 
It has 1064 Horsepower, and that's a LOT of horses!

For the first weekend of the new year, on Saturday I went to a Cars and Coffee at the new Porsche of Charlotte Northlake, and then on Sunday hit the Gaston County Cars and Coffee. It was rainy at the Porsche location, so I stayed inside, looked around the dealership, and had a coffee and a breakfast sandwich from Chick-fil-A. On Sunday the rain had stopped, so I grabbed a coffee at the coffee truck (actually a VW bus, AKA Bus Stop Coffee!) Here's a look!

Here's HALF of the service bays at the Porsche shop!
I don't know how much a new building like this costs, but it's more than a few dollars!

Rubystar is the name of this color!

With several new Porsches on the showroom floor, there was also this older 911,

One of these would do nicely! This is on the upper level lounge!

This car is just covered in aerodynamic goodies. 

Thanks to Bus Stop Coffee at the Gaston County event!

This is a 1972, and there was also a 74 Monte Carlo!

Clown Shoe, I love funny license plates. 

This Chevy was very nice! Let's guess it's a 55 that belongs to a guy named Nick. 

Not just a Duster, but a Coyote Duster!

Don't be fooled by just looking at the red mid-engine Toyota MR2, check out the Hummer with matching TRAILER!

A pair of early 60s Beetles, both with the convertible top!
The owner of the one on the left said it still has the 6 volt electrical system.

And then this Pinto pulled in!

Chevrolet SSR convertible pickup truck. 

I talked to the owner that is working on this Audi TT. He said it's a first generation manual, and he thinks this big spoiler on the back was a dealer option at the time. It had some other cool features on it too!
