I’d like to go. My car is filthy and won’t have time to wash it beforehand. More reason to go for a nice drive afterwards!
“Time” to wash it? A good hand carwash takes like 10-15 minutes (at least where I take my car to get it done)

I'm going as Chef Santiago (of the famous Donut Bar) is sponsoring the event as well and my wife knows him. We're just riding up/down there by ourselves though I've already seen several club meet-ups that are meeting and driving there together. It sounds like it's going to be a big show. Elite Finish is sponsoring the event, they did my F450 with ceramic coating years back.
If you see this black beauty, it could be me.. hah ah ha (there are so many that look just like it).

The irony of claiming a “good hand car wash” takes 15 minutes in a thread about a cars and coffee event at a detailing shop is laughable.

I just dry wash mine. I use the dust rag car thing (red looks like a mop with red cloth) and then a really awesome dry wash that my detailer (who moved out of CA) told me about. I have never washed my car in 2 years. I never drive in rain and it really never gets dirty. It's garaged 100% of the time except when driving it. It looks showroom all the time.

I took mine up Palomar mountain a few weekends ago. There was still a good amount of snow / ice on the roads. Just haven’t gotten around to cleaning the car since. The good thing is the silver paint conceals a lot of dirt and dust. The dirty glass is what drives me nuts.
Well, I go to a place that does hand car washes, and it only takes about 15 minutes. My car is PPF's and ceramic coated so after every wash, it pretty much looks good as new. So I guess I was thrown off by the idea that one doesn't have "time" to attend an event due to the simple matter of a carwash. That has at least been my own experience, I guess others maybe take a different approach.....

My car is fully PPF’d and ceramic coated as well. I don’t take it to anyone, I usually do it myself.
I wouldn’t let a little dirt on the car keep me from going. I just like having it clean for car events. If it’s dirty it’s no big deal. I’d rather have fun driving a dirty car than let a clean car just sit in the garage and not get driven.

There were a LOT of cars there today. Wow... An entire row of Lambos (15-20 of them) An entire row of McLarens, at least three of us from this forum in R8's and a lot of JDM's and street rods.
Here's my takeaway. It opens at 9 am but if you want to park in the main parking lot you better get there before 8 am. We got there at 8 am and there was just enough room to squeeze us in.
Seems like clubs got reserved spots, so I'll make an SD R8 Club and make sure we get a row for next time.
Met @lucycan (nice dropped Matt Black with bronze wheels Gen 2 - looked awesome on the road) in Escondido and we rolled there together, when we got there, we saw @Blade Gunner and then there was at least one more white Gen 1 R8 there. So 4 in all.

I wish I could’ve made it. Had more going on today than expected and I’ll be out of state all week. When’s the next at Elite? I’ll be at RSF next Saturday. We need to get together for a drive!

I was talking to @Blade Gunner and he thinks we should have a SD R8 club, so I made a post to gauge interest.
@ExpertRanch I'm pretty sure we did not meet up. Next time maybe!

I got my names all messed up. I just DM'd him on IG so I can post him here. My bad.
