    What part of Houston are you in? I may bring mine up to the far north side. I've also been meaning to meet up with FCA guys in Houston. Not sure if you joined them, but they do a lot of that type of thing. I've enjoyed the events in Austin.

    I think the popular Cars and Coffee have all suspended meetings..

    There's a large multi brand one at Memorial City Mall, and my son went to a more import based Catalina Coffee on lower Washington Avenue early Sunday mornings, it is a nice chill time.

    FCA had a Conroe drive this Saturday that was called on the poor weather.

    If Memorial City, doesn’t come back, I won’t shed a tear....it’s a poorly run zoo.

    I would like to see private exotic events instead.....have a Qualifying car, you get in.

    We used to have good shows 4-5 years ago, before the rise of the idiots.

    agreed on the mem city extravaganza... not my cup of tea @ 52 yo !

    I'm suggesting a small informal meet up @ a coffee shop with ample parking...... away from 'peaceful protests'...... grab a coffee and talk cars.

    I'm good friends with two shops in San Antonio.... we would grab BBQ and meet up at the shop for bs sessions..... and oogle the projects.

    Hoping to connect back here in Houston.

    I'm fairly handy on my 360.... and feel confident helping other 'non-warranty' folks with simple diy's.

    Cheers, - Jeff

    Here in the Heights there's lots of options...the parking behind Discount Tire at 18th is HUGE and there's Egg Haus there (spin off of King's Bierhaus) and then Hub Cap Burgers, or the Italian place further down 19th.

    They are ALL hurting, I'm sure be glad to have us.

    August is gonna be brutal, slow start to it right now quite pleasant.

    Look forward to f car meet greet coffee.
    Will keep it simple and low key.

    Low key - no parking lot exhaust rev battles :)

    Perhaps we can coordinate w a restaurant for the special parking.

    I’m ready to see some cars and meet up w the Hou crowd.

    we had a great San Antonio / Austin crowd.

    I am also up for this! I have been looking for a good meetup and would love to get coffee and talk cars.

    Someone else mentioned it, but there are several perfect spots in the Heights.

    Boomtown Coffee is a good spot since there are a ton of street parking and people could mingle and look at cars.
    Starbucks on Westcott also is a nice spot since Bubba's right next door to it is closed and has a large parking lot.

    Let's make this happen!

    I suggest the Heights area since it would be central for everyone in town.
