My wife found this event. It would be on the same day as some other stuff we had to do around Nashville, we had the time, and there would be\u00a0exotic cars<\/em> so we had to go! I shrugged…why not? Cars and Coffee events are springing up like crazy lately because they work: anything can come out and show off in the morning at a pre-determined spot and if the public stops by and takes a good look at your car, all the better. Most Cars and Coffee shows I’ve seen are small, with maybe thirty cars showing up at any given location.<\/p>\n

Oh, how I was wrong with this one. Cars were everywhere. We parked close, but not in, what was the car show area and went walking around. One lap in, and I had to return to my car for a moment and it had been surrounded by show cars: a Lamborghini to my left, a ’73 ‘Cuda to my right. Car clubs were pouring in. If you looked down the aisles, you’d see muscle cars idling toward a parking spot, a Ferrari revving up, and a Nissan 240SX club getting their cars organized. There was even a TVR 280i, one of the very few TVR’s ever imported into the United States.<\/p>\n

We left before things got way out of hand, but here’s a taste of what’s hidden in the hills around Nashville.<\/p>\n
