M1 Concourse in Pontiac, Michigan, held the largest Cars and Coffee ever in Michigan in May, and they didn\u2019t slow down for June\u2019s big show! I didn\u2019t want to be late to the party (and another 45 minutes of sleep never hurts), so I went to the garage Friday and spent the night.<\/p>\n

Saturday, I woke up with enough time to hit the no-touch car wash a mile or so east of Woodward. Before you spit out your mocha latte and question the love I have for my car, hear me out: Everyone has their own way of celebrating their car and the car culture; and while I appreciate those who do, personally, I just don\u2019t enjoy hand washing cars! It is, however, another reason it\u2019s always smart money to have a detail expert like Marc Harris (@detroitdetailing<\/a>) handle paint correction and ceramic coating on your ride right from the dealer. My Maximum Steel Dodge Challenger SRT\u00ae<\/sup> Demon looks incredible when clean, good when dirty, and washes clean with ease. If I wanted to spend 30 minutes in the morning wiping \u201cHoly Smoke\u201d down to make her shine, I could. But I drive the hell out of her, she\u2019ll just get dirty again! Side note: When my Scat Pack Shaker was stolen, the insurance payout included a prorated portion of what I paid to have Marc detail that car when it was new. It\u2019s a lot of coin up front to have it done to this level, but it is most certainly worth it in the long run.<\/p>\n

This month, I skipped parking on the skid pad and instead followed a line of cars rounding the track and ended up parking next to a red ZR1 Corvette. 1,595 hp worth of Detroit muscle between us!<\/p>\n

A couple of late model Mopar\u00ae<\/sub> vehicles I was digging are @pitchblack_rt\u2019s<\/a> bagged and blacked out 2015 Charger R\/T and @na_stroked300srt\u2019s<\/a> forged 426 HEMI\u00ae<\/sup> engine-powered SRT8\u00ae<\/sup> 300. Is it weird that, as much as I hate washing cars, I\u2019m always drawn to black cars, the most difficult color to keep clean!<\/p>\n

Ken Cox, a long-time friend and Marketing and Media manager for M1 Concourse, told me they counted 1,500 cars and 3,500 people came to the show, a solid follow-up to May\u2019s record-setting event. If you\u2019re in the area and able, I\u2019d suggest entering July 13th @ 8:30am into your phone\u2019s calendar for M1\u2019s next Cars and Coffee!<\/p>\n

And if you\u2019re gonna be there and have a dope Mopar vehicle, hit me up so I can stop by and check it out. Until then, check out the gallery below.<\/p>\n
