PA/NJ/DE - Cars & Coffee

Mainline Cars and Coffee, with their new location, has asked the peons to stay away from their 'special marks' -- so see below.

In a move that is the complete opposite of what C&C is all about, please see their guidelines below. I mean, we have ''spectator parking'' --FFS.

Morning car show? Yes. Cars and Coffee? Very much no.

This is unfortunate, but inevitable I guess... Tons of debates happening on the $20 entry fee and staggered entry times ( http://instagr.am/p/Csro9W1J0_1/ )

"On behalf of our team, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to all those who have consistently supported us and contributed to the success of our events.

We would like to address a matter of importance that has arisen from the significant turnout at our recent event. The number of vehicles in attendance has raised concerns regarding traffic safety, compelling us to take proactive measures to ensure the well-being of all participants. In light of this, it is necessary to implement certain limitations on the number of show vehicles allowed within the premises, as well as introduce a registration system to stagger the entry times for attendees. By implementing these measures, we aim to effectively manage traffic flow and prioritize the safety of everyone involved.

Over time, our event has undergone an evolution, transforming into more of a car show than the original concept of cars and coffee. While it was never our initial intention to host a paid event, the significant growth we have experienced has rendered it unsustainable without adapting accordingly. Thus, in order to strike a balance between the number of vehicles present and the quality of cars exhibited, we reluctantly find ourselves in a position where pre-registration is necessary.

To cover the associated expenses, a nominal SHOW VEHICLE registration fee of $20 will be required, and all registration must be done in advance online. We would also like to inform all attendees that a $5 PER VEHICLE spectator parking fee will be collected at the door to park within the lot. The funds collected from these fees will be allocated towards essential aspects such as traffic control with the presence of numerous police officers, providing adequate restroom facilities, and ensuring the smooth operation of the event. A portion of the fees will also be dedicated to supporting charitable initiatives within our community.

Our primary goal is to ensure that every participant enjoys a positive and secure experience at our event. These measures are essential in achieving this objective. We genuinely appreciate your understanding and ongoing support as we strive to uphold the integrity and safety of our event."
