Alright let's say 1000 at Duck Donuts so we've got something solid and see who comes out!

Edit: here's your notice!


What: Mini-Meat type Cars & Coffee or Rigs and...Roffee.

Who: You, of course, but really anyone. Cross posted on T4R.org. Feel free to push this out to the masses.

When: 10:00 AM, Sunday March 1st, 2020

Where: Duck Donuts
1223 Jefferson Davis Hwy, Fredericksburg, VA 22401

Purpose: Spring is almost here so let's take this opportunity to make some plans, drink some coffee, eat a donut, laugh at our mistakes (come on by, I'll show you plenty). Or don't. I don't care. I'm not your mother. But it'd be a lot cooler if you did.

Well...I may have incited a GT-R (or multiple) showing up so no need to feel all kitted out! At least it's warming up a bit...

It was very nice meeting everybody this morning and seeing Jake again LOL. I probably talked to much but it was nice being around folks that held common interests most around here just don't get it.
@jakeandhisdodge are not allowed to park next to me anymore I think my truck has a complex now.
@Specter safe travels on your trip i look forward to some cool pics

Good times this morning. Hopefully we can make this, at the very least, a monthly meet. Maybe somewhere else next time as single donuts took FOREVER.

Evidence to prove it happened (plates blurred to protect the innocent):

You guys i am so unbelievably happy, i just figured out how To make a jeep rubricons manual swaybar disconnect work with a power wagons sway bar. So both vehicles have a smart bar, flip a swith and the sway bar disconnects in the center, but you can replace the motor with a manual option. And i was able to make the jeeps work with the power wagons! So that means my dodge mega cab will have a sway bar disconnect20200307_165837.jpg20200307_165814.jpg

I posted this on T4R, but as there are more vehicles out there other than the T4R (say it isn't so!), I thought I'd cross post:



Anyone interested in doing a cars and coffee type meet Sunday, March 1st in Fredericksburg or Stafford area? Maybe we can make this a monthly thing but of course it all depends.

Other than the fact that I live in Fredericksburg which makes me biased and selfish, peoples from NoVA and Richmond can both drive in if they're willing. Just a thought.

Was thinking about 1000 or 1030? I'm always down for early C&C meets but maybe we'll get a consensus.

Suggestions:

Duck Donuts (ample parking)
1223 Jefferson Davis Hwy, Fredericksburg, VA 22401

Warrior Coffee (medium parking)
35 Walpole St #115, Stafford Courthouse, VA 22554

Peet's (small parking, weird lot, no lines...)
3845 Jefferson Davis Hwy, Stafford Courthouse, VA 22554

I've not been to any of these places; I was looking for coffee shops with parking, open Sunday mornings and that weren't the typical Starbucks/Dunkin, not that there's anything wrong with those. Also most Starbucks in the area have terrible parking.
