This coming week is set to be partly cloudy/clear up until Saturday or Sunday.

Anybody interested in the Starbucks at Lawrence and El Camino on say Wednesday evening? Around 7ish?

Maybe park in the back as there's a good sized parking lot-and it's sorta lit.
This coming Wednesday evening works for me. I’ll be out there.

Cool!

I totally forgot that this morning was Cars & Coffee at Chromatic Coffee. It was Lambo & McLaren day today. Holy cow! Plus, a really cool VW Bug with a Subaru motor and drive trail in it.

Sunday or Wed works for me as as its on my way from work. However, I remember meeting at the Lawrence and El Camino way back for car meets... is it still a friendly place to park?

Also, there's a Barnels and Nobles off Stevens Creek and Santa Tomas EXpressway HUGE back parking lot, with prime competition from amazon it should be pretty empty as well.

B&N is car storage and what’s left is usually full or nearly so.

Starbucks is still a friendly place. OSH is long gone too.

Forgot that B & N are using that lot for cars now. I'm cool with the Starbucks, just stained memories from my youth of cars being towed for barely revving down the entrance into the parking lot

(sure most were mustangs/SRT4, subbies)

So, it looks like it will be rainy and wet on Wednesday. Which mean my CTR won’t be leaving the garage... I’m still down to meet everyone and still keep this going, if you all are.

Nice– So, I would be down to come out if we have a couple of us confirm. Figure we could grab some Starbucks and shoot the shit for a little bit.

ill stop by, dreading the traffic in that area at that time. but count me in! would like to meet more local Xgen civics

@bakingpancake how does all season suck in the rain? I would think it would be designed for more wet climate. But I feel it, new rubber on the feet always is noticeable.

It's just the eagle sports that comes with the Si. A few people also complain about the stock tires, not the best all seasons there is.

I’ll be out there around 6:30PM. I’ll park in the back and If the weather let’s up, I’ll take the CTR. Otherwise, I’ll be in a RAV4. Lol.
