    Black Diamond AutoWerkz Cars and Coffee PT. 2

    I love that every time I end up going out to another event, it ends up being better then the last one. And it’s not about how many cars there are, or the “OMG did you see that Porsche that showed up?”. All of that is great and all. And it isn’t about the fact that the class of cars down here in the Rio Grande Valley has become ridiculous (I mean that in a really good way). But there’s one thing I love seeing at events like this more than the exotics that pull up, more than the older classics that pull up, and more than the amount of cars that make it to these events.

    The day before the article is scheduled to go up and here I am jamming to some Hans Zimmer (Intersteller OST), a scratch notepad with random jotted down thoughts, and the second monitor full of photos of the feature car. I mean, I can’t break tradition at this point right? Some of my “best” work happens when I procrastinate and stay up late and pay for it in the morning. I dabble in sarcasm if you havent picked this up yet. When catching up with Hector, I realized it can be a little crazy when you’re able to measure how long you’ve known someone by going over the car’s theyve owned over the years. It’s never “Oh man, I’ve known this guy since what…2010?”, but more of a “Oh yeah you had the E46 Sedan, then this other car, then an M3 for a while…”. Car people, am I right?

    Black Diamond AutoWerkz – Cars, Coffee, & Donuts

    I told myself I would start going to more local meets now that I’m keeping the site more active. It’s funny, years ago I’d groan at the though of waking up at 7 AM for anything other than work – but these days the early morning meet ups are more of my speed. Sure the humidity hits you like you’re walking in soup, even that early, but what a better way to start the day than with a iced coffee (still not a fan of hot coffee) – and to be around some amazing cars from here in town.
