Guys:
It was mentioned last night that we should go to the Ft Worth Cars n Coffee sometime.
It would be a fun cruise over I think with the whole crew !
Looks like its the SECOND Saturday of each month.
(Dallas Cars n Coffee is the FIRST Saturday of each month.)
Next event is Sept 13th. (8:00am-10:30am)
Web Site
http://www.cowtowncarsandcoffee.com/
I found the location of the parking lot on the map below.
https://www.google.com/maps/@32.7537.../data=!3m1!1e3
Just throwing this out there in case there is some interest to see some cars we have not seen yet....
Anyone know anyone that attends this event ?
It would be good to know what time is best to show up.

You are correct. Many people here have houses there. Fantastic place. A lot of people stop here to eat and find entertainment on our Plaza. Check it out on Sulphur Springs Celebration Plaza and our Corvette Club on ssvetteclub.com. I have packets of information for our two day event.

The seats were of crap quality. They used old dirty seat tracks for the new seats. The reclining seat lever on the driver side was stripped and didn't work. The faces on the seat controls were all scratched up and scuffed. Apsis claimed to have used high quality foam for the new seat but instead it clearly showed they used the old foam from the sport seats to fill in the seat. Glue residue was all along the lines of the back rest where the carbon fiber meets leather. Horrible!

First-year C7 Corvette production already gets close to the last three years of C6 production combined.
