The next event for us Charlotte area owners should be Cars and Coffee, which for those unfamiliar is a free car show the first Saturday of every month at the NC Music Factory.
For September, due to the DNC convention and Labor Day weekend, the Cars and Coffee meet will be held on Saturday, September 8th starting at 8:00am:

The NC Music Factory Village Campus and Parking Lot are being sequestered for the entire week of the DNC for events and parking. The Uptown area will not be in any shape to host us so we are going to take the alternative date and have our gathering on Sept 8th! I have heard from many of you that you are vacating town either because of the DNC or you are taking your last trip of the summer with Labor Day. Spread the word of the change and we will see you all the next week!
Mattie's Diner was trilled to have us and welcome us back. They would ask that the parking spaces adjacent to the Diner in front and beside be reserved for some of Mattie's regular customers. Many drove up thinking that it was a private event and took off. Also please bare with the bathroom situation, the diner is small but will try to accommodate us the best that they can. If we need to there will be alternatives across the street at the Music Factory.
Many asked me if it was possible to reserve spaces for like makes and models and I would leave that up to the 'early bird get the worms'. You can organize as you see fit with particular makes and models, but as far as roping off before hand that is a bit hard due to the unknown size of a group or location desired. I would suggest that if you have a group that wants to park together that you designate a meet up spot close to the Music factory and ride in together, with 700+ spaces you should not have an issue. Last month it sort of fell together as such without much planning.
Mattie's Diner is a fantastic old school eatery that is located at the front of the property. Matt has made some slight changes to accommodate the size of our crowd so bare with them as they learn our needs. There will be coffee as expected, carry out baked items and sit down full breakfasts if you desire, the space is cozy so be prepared. The owner of NC Music Factory has graciously offered the use of this property and in order to respect the jester we need to do our part. Below are a few bylaws we have to follow in order to continue to use the facility. If we ware out our welcome here we are pretty much without options! I can not begin to tell you how much of a challenge it has been to relocate and find a new car friendly location!

Another update, the Charlotte Cruise In event is still looking for a new location.
If you guys remember, it used to be held every Thursday at Buffalo Wild Wings on Independence, but they recently lost that location.
Once they find a new place I will post the info here.

Anyone have a tactrix cable I can borrow, just need it for a few minutes?. I broke my mine this morning and hopefully getting it repaired this weekend, so I just need a quick fix.
