And for those of us who don't use facebook?

Saturday April 20 at 630am sharp so we can get our own little corner hopefully. (Some fanatics show up at 5 i hear! Showing up at 7 or 730 often means no parking spot....believe it or not!)

760 Walker Rd, Great Falls, VA 22066-2639, United States

If you've never been to Katie's Cars & Coffee before, plan a couple hours to walk around and see the 300+ cool vehicles that typically show up. Great time, relaxed people hanging around cars that range from "kinda cool" to million dollar+ rarities. Unfortunately, I can't make it this weekend. When I attend, I usually take the non-EV in my avatar photo...

I have it on my calendar. We'll bring the Tesla and probably the Cadillac ELR.

Yes finally. I try to go there every weekend with friends. I have been there with Tesla before. Most of the time I ride my bike out there cuz that place gets crazy packed if you are late

We coordinated a group of Teslas at this location several times over the years, starting in 2013. I think the most we ever had was 7 or 8 cars....but remember, this was in the "early days." I live fairly close by. As an earlier poster said, you must be there EARLY if you want to line up together. And yes, some arrive at 5 am in order to grab the spots immediately in front of Katie's Coffee. We used to park around the bend in the other side of the same parking lot.

By 6:30 am, there will be lots of other cars arriving and since it is first come, first served, you likely won't be able to all park adjacent to one another. My recommendation is to be there by 6 am for the best chance to get adjacent spots.

Oh....and I just looked at the first photo in this thread. That is my blue X !

 

[Big Earl]

Thanks for the tip. We’ll plan on getting there early.

Helpful info. Unfortunately I'm coming home on a redeye flight Friday morning so it's doubtful I'm going to set the alarm for Saturday morning.

I would like to participate, but my schedule may not allow it. Also, please note the weather may not be helpful. As I understand it, forecasts are for potential heavy rains Friday night leading to showers on/off on Saturday.

 

[Big Earl]

I scoped out the location last night. I also mentioned the event at last night's www.evadc.org monthly meeting and I think a few people from there might be attending.

 

[Big Earl]

Got the cars washed and tucked in just before the second round of rain started. Hopefully the weather is clear in the morning. See you all tomorrow.

 

[Big Earl]

Well, not as strong as I was hoping for. It rained a little this morning but quickly turned into a beautiful day. There was one Roadster, a Model 3 Performance and myself. There was quite a bit of interest in both the Model 3 and our Cadillac ELR.

The coolest car there, in my opinion, was the 1991 Gloria Cedric.
