RENO, NV (March 2) — March has started and three groups started the month off this weekend. Fortunately the weather cooperated.
While the turnout for Reno Cars & Coffee was less than usual there were a good amount of cars. As usual there was a line of imports.
Close to the street three vintage Ford 4X4’s were parked together. They also had a crowd of people around them.
Like many cars there were several sporting spoilers that also had people checking them out. In the background was the Human Bean Coffee Stand that had hot chocolate.
One car that got a lot of attention was a red Corvette Stingray. Both doors has been altered so they swung up and out rather than just out.
As it has a mid-engine the owner lifted the rear panel to expose the engine. And one can see the rear compartment for luggage.
• Not far away Reno Jeeps & Coffee had its first meet of the month. The location was at the Human Bean Coffee Stand located at the corner of Longley Land and South McCarran.
