Cars & Coffee v. 8.25 *A Second Change*

The first Cars & Coffee after Pebble Beach weekend gave me the opportunity to once again drool over the 2013 Aston Martin Vanquish. I got advanced notice that it was going to be there so I was super anxious on the way down. The car to me is just absolutely beautiful, it is everything an Aston Martin should be. It looks sporty while still remaining classy even with this examples bright blue paint. The absolute best part for me is that I actually fit! My 6'4" frame actually fits very comfortably in this car. First time I've been able to say that about a modern Aston. Now to figure out a get rich quick scheme so I can buy one.

Some of the other interesting cars present were the Carter "Town Shopper" which was a micro car built in San Diego, with a 12hp engine with a 45mph top speed. Then there was the Barris T Buggy, which is one of 4 or 5 remaining of the dozen built.

There were also a bunch of other interesting and eclectic cars present. Which was your favorite car from the show?

Nice pics. I don't get the partially disassembled gray Aston Martin though.
