ifixvws Posted September 2, 2014 Report Share Posted September 2, 2014 My 10year old and I will be traveling out the JCCS Show from Minnesota for the first time this year. Im looking for other things we can do that might be fun. I see the Toyota USA museum will be open 9-3pm Friday, so part of our trip will include that. Cars and Coffee Irvine is 7-9am on Sat. We may try to head to that. Anyone ever check it out? Is it worth the time? I'm hoping the show will spark some ideas and reinvigorate me to finish my 510. datsunonwheels by Chadsci, on Flickr ThanksChad Quote Link to comment

It's always a great turn out and an assortment of cars jdm, muscle, euros, etc.. You get your everyday kind of guy then you get the big wigs with more money than they can spend. Just went this saturday with a bunch of datsun people, I'll probably go the weekend of as well def check c&c out. Quote Link to comment
ifixvws Posted September 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2014 Thanks for the input. Just thought about the Petersen Automotive museum too. Anyone checked that out before? Quote Link to comment
r0p0doe Posted September 2, 2014 Report Share Posted September 2, 2014 Been there before that place is pretty cool... Quote Link to comment
Ranman72 Posted September 2, 2014 Report Share Posted September 2, 2014 Peterson is pretty cool, they have a huge hot wheel collection along with many different era of cars trucks and some motorcycles Quote Link to comment
mrbigtanker Posted September 2, 2014 Report Share Posted September 2, 2014 Cars and coffee is not worth it if you ask me unless you want to look at a assortment of Lambos that are all the same except the colors forget it . NHRA museum, Petersen, toyota all good places. Shit Knotts berry farm for the kid. Take the kid to the long beach aquarium. 1 Quote Link to comment

datrod Posted September 2, 2014 Report Share Posted September 2, 2014 Cars & Coffee is always good. Yes there will be cookie cutter cars, But you never know what will show up. If you want to see some badass cars it's a good bet. Mr Bigtanker is just pissed cause they turned him away in his SUV.... 1 Quote Link to comment

bananahamuck Posted September 2, 2014 Report Share Posted September 2, 2014 I can't tell if it is your first time or just your childs,,, but being from WA i only know touristy places.. My sons were about your kids age when we went to Cali. We did the walk around and down Hollywood Blvd , and that was pretty dang entertaining.. The beach down by UCLA ( Santa Monica?) on a hot day is pretty good place to watch the people show also. I know you said car stuff but ,, we went to those posted by Tanker, and they were very ,very cool, but i like to emerse myself in stuff.. and cruise back alleys as we stopped and talked to a guy with a hearse over by the Hollywood post office, and a weird old dude with the craziest european car ever.. Boys even jumped out and stood next to the guy as with all the high dollar stuff there,, he probably gets overlooked quite a bit. ( i remember the old dudes huge smile) 1 Quote Link to comment

ifixvws Posted September 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 Are there any Datsun guys getting together the night before the JCCS? What about Friday night. Is there a place to go see cars just cruising? Has anyone been to the Observatory in LA for a Concert? FEAR and TSOL are playing Sat night after the JCCS and we may head to that.
