LACARCULTURE

I've always wanted to check out Cars & Coffee in Irvine. What I didn't realize is that it starts at the asscrack of dawn and is pretty much over with by 9:30am. We still forced ourselves up (after Das Bunker the night before) and got there by 7:30...and even then some of the cars were already cleared out.  Nonetheless, a very cool thing they do down there every single Saturday. Its stuff like this that would make me enjoy living in a city like L.A.  But would I get jaded after a while?  I dunno.

JDM nostalgia at its finest.  I'm not crazy about some of the silly trends like oversided intercoolers on the
outside of the engine bay, but I love seeing cars like this nonetheless.

Dino.

Some nice bikes on display as well.

There was a time when cars actually had style.

All original...just like Linda's old Z.

I like patina.

These Z cars were already leaving at 7:40am.  What the fuck is wrong with you morning people? GET SOME REST!!

There's nothing like black.

This van was interesting.

Yup, chopped.

Citroen....a very, very ugly French duckling....it even kinda looks like a duck.

Cherry.

The coolest Porsche ever made, imo.

Side view.

Another 928 in white...still looks good.

Next up was the Petersen Automotive Museum in downtown LA.

Linda with Manny, Moe and Jack.

Their non-automotive displays were also fun.

Solar car.

Why don't cars already look like this?  Seriously!

Batmoyamaha.

?

If you were a real Steampunk, you would drive this.

This car was just schnazzy.

I've kinda grown to like old VWs and VW based buggies like this.

Too bad all Harley's don't look like this.

Rokon.

Now, this was cool, Isuzu Axiom concept. 

And by far the coolest vehicle they had on display....

Dodge Power Wagon....

With special articulating bed!!

This thing was a fuckin' tank!

Go Speed, Go!
