    Re: Anyone ever attended a Cars and Coffee event?

    I lived in Cali for a while too and the amount of money people have can be mind blowing. I tell people that seeing an exotic car in Cali is like seeing a Lexus in CO. If I'm behind say a Ferrari, and am giving directions. I usually just say, oh follow that Ferrari in a normal voice. People seem to be excited then wonder why I'm not. I tell them that seeing something like that in Cali is a daily occurrence.

    Desensatized. It's a shame. It is an unfortunate part of human nature that we get accustomed to things and then they become normal and not special.

    I appreciate when I ride with new riders because of this situation. It's always fun to see the excitement of the ride.

    I wish this didn't happen.

    Being from CA I do agree that it is a daily occurance. I could not stand living there, it is such a superficial state, it's all about what you drive or how much you make and what house you have and how much money you can spend. It is ridiculous.

    I am still in awe when I see a nice car here in Denver, it is a more rare occurance. I do the same for a nice bike regardless of how old it is. Gramps you have some sweet bikes in your signature too!

    Where you live then? I see a lot of exotic cars near Arapahoe and University and around the Highland Ranch area. Just saw a sick Lambo last week.

    This is how I am with lowriders. Grew up in NM where they claim Espanola, NM the lowrider capital of the world. I lived in Santa Fe and Albuquerque and seeing lowriders that come to the yearly "Lowrider" show here was something I saw daily and many of my friends had them; hydraulics and all.

    Talking about these kinds (major money into them)
