<p>The first weekend of the month has come and gone and that means Cars &amp; Café.  An opportunity for car guys to come, drool and gawk at each others toys.  The weather was unseasonably warm for November, reaching a high of 57 degrees.  The sun was shining, the people were smiling, and all was well with the world.  Per the name Cars &amp; Café, the cars where there as was the coffee and doughnuts.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<div id="attachment_671" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 610px"><img class="size-large wp-image-671" title="IMAG0254" src="http://www.joelfeder.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/IMAG02541-1024x768.jpg" alt="Spyker C8" width="600" height="450" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Spyker C8 Spyder</p></div>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<div id="attachment_673" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 610px"><img class="size-large wp-image-673" title="IMAG0216" src="http://www.joelfeder.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/IMAG0216-1024x768.jpg" alt="Spyker Logo" width="600" height="450" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Spyker Logo</p></div>
<p>This month was much nicer weather then October which meant the crowd was about double and the amount of cars were too.  Many notable appearance were made such as the gorgeous Spyker C8 Spyder all the way to the normal Honda S2000.  <a href="http://www.ieurocars.com" target="_blank">EuroCars</a> even brought out a ultra rare <a href="http://ieurocars.com/viewsingle.php?id=409&amp;picid=1" target="_blank">Noble M400</a> they currently have for sale.  Kevin Tan, owner of <a href="http://imolamotorsports.com/_root/" target="_blank">Imola Motorsports</a>, brought out his Acura NSX which is tastefully modified.  Not one, but two, Buick Grand National&#8217;s were in attendance. One had aftermarket wheels while the other was quite stock.  Both were gorgeous sights to see in person.  Also notable was the old school Porsche that was absolutely gorgeous.  I will note, my buddy who has the Honda S2000 that we brought to October&#8217;s Cars &amp; Café, and our 300ZX, were both sadly already put into storage due to the early cold snap we had.  We both decided to error on the safe side and we were sad we did.</p>
<div id="attachment_676" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 610px"><img class="size-large wp-image-676" title="IMAG0222" src="http://www.joelfeder.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/IMAG0222-1024x768.jpg" alt="Noble M400" width="600" height="450" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Noble M400</p></div>
<div id="attachment_677" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 610px"><img class="size-large wp-image-677" title="IMAG0234" src="http://www.joelfeder.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/IMAG0234-1024x768.jpg" alt="Buick Grand National" width="600" height="450" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Buick Grand National</p></div>
<p>This month the club house was open to stroll through.  Spacious and luxurious, the clubhouse is a very nice  place  to hang out while grabbing a cup of coffee and a doughnut.  Auto Motorplex is currently nearing completion on another new building that was framed up in October.  They were also obviously prepping to develop more land for more buildings towards the edge of the property.  Until next April 3, 2010 (but who&#8217;s counting) when Cars &amp; Café starts another season, we will all unfortunately just have to get out our trickle chargers and car covers, while we go into storage for the winter.</p>
