2020 C5 of the Year Finalist - Unmodified
That's where I live, just east of 1463. I am planning on heading to C&C and then to 510, although I planned on heading to C&C last month and bailed due to the weather...everything was soaked by me and the roads were full of construction mud. If the weather is OK, I will be going.

I will be going to C&C and 510 after but I have no desire to beat my engine no on the dyno.

Coffee and Cars hasn't even been my cup of tea anymore anyway. There's tons of changes going on with the event that it really doesn't make worth while going anymore.
If you read some of their facebook post, they appear to be written by a 10 year old.

An email from a local car club north of Houston. Very informal and not Corvette specific. Just a bunch of nice car people. 
Have fun, La.
AAMers,
So...the show at College Park HS ended up being for pre1980s vehicles, even though that didnt match the info on the original flyer I was sent... so yeah - we bailed and went to eat breakfast at Fieldings
(their french toast is amazing).
- AAMer needs info -
Mustang Frank (and Tyler) need to know if anyones has recommendations for a shop that knows how to rebuild the transmission in a 2008 Saturn Vue. Apparently those 6T70/75s are notorious for having 3-5-R wave plate failure & they are very particular in being put back together. Lemme know if you have any recommendations, and I'll pass the word back to Frank.

Wrap The World called me and personally asked us/AAM to come out, so we'll be in BFT at Northbound I45 (&Rayford) Shell @ 9:20am on Saturday, and we'll head north @ 9:30ish.
