On Aug. 16, Cars & Coffee Co. brought together around 150 people, along with approximately 100 cars and 20 motorcycles, for an event that celebrated a shared passion for the automotive world.
The event organizer, Jesse Williams, who has lived in the Valley for nearly 20 years, shared that he began organizing these car meets while looking for something more to do within the community.
“I enjoy organizing and going to meets because the culture is diverse and; also everyone has different reasons for loving what they love about each different car — whether it be for aesthetics or horsepower, comfort or mods,” Williams shared.
For him, these events have become a meeting place where differences are respected and that shared love for cars is celebrated.
Williams also revealed that his favorite car is the BMW M550i, and that, as a young man, he dreamed of owning a BMW 850 with a 5.0-liter V12 engine. However, he joked that dream wasn’t possible at the time since he came from a family of six and the car only had two doors.
He invites the community to attend these meets with an open and curious mind, ready to ask questions, talk with fellow attendees and be guided by the passion cars can inspire.
As a final piece of advice, Williams encouraged people not to fear the maintenance of their dream car. Every car needs upkeep, but doing it for a car you love only enriches the experience.
“Destination is reached when we sit in the car to drive it, but the drive prolongs the experience,” he concludedFor more information on upcoming gatherings, you can visit www.carsncoffeeco.com or follow their Instagram: @carsncoffeeco
