Went to my first Car & Coffee in Scottsdale AZ with my new FGT. No I did not Typo the extra "C" in the title as its stands for Cold Cars & Coffee. Was just above freezing and for us AZ boys that is cold. There were five FGTs that showed up, three you see below in the pic and another red w/stripes and white w/stripes. For you other AZ FGT owners, the Scottsdale Cars & Coffee is held first Saturday every month at the southeast corner of Doubletree Ranch Rd. and Scottsdale Rd. Starts at 8 am but many owners get there starting at 7 am. This monthly gathering has grown in the last years and usually close to 100 cars show up. Next get together is January 4, 2014.

"Was just above freezing and for us AZ boys that is cold."

Our eldest daughter lives in S'dale and she's been none too happy about having to play Eskimo down there lately! She actually had to turn her heat on a day or so ago! (Gasp!)


^I sure like the looks of that black no stripe.^ :willy

Nice turnout! Assume the stripe less red one was John G.'s car. Who has a black stripe delete?

I woke up this morning, turned on the "Weather Channel" - local temperature was -12°F (-22°C). Went back to sleep and didn't get up 'til it got to -8°. Brrrr....

It's a balmy 10 or so now. Consider it was -7 last night when we got home. The snow killed a friend in a plane wreck in Utah last weekend. Still no sign of the plane. Sigh

I'll try and swing by Jan 4th as well. I live two streets south on Royal Palm. Can't we get there a little later/warmer? LOL

Snowbound - that's a %*&*&%^ understatement. I have 4' of snow on my property. More like "HellBound". I'm thinking at this rate, we may see grass by June...oh and it's -25 today.

Cold ? What cold? Drove down to Phoenix today for C&C tomorrow and to install an x pipe and an oil change on a GT. Ran the A/C in the truck for a while. 70 plus degrees Saturday. THAT is the main reason I left Michigan.

That's THEEE reason our eldest daughter moved down there. She's been there since '98.

I'll never forget flying down there to see her in the fall of '99. It was 32 degrees here when I left. 'Landed at Sky Harbor some 2.5 hrs later and walked out of the terminal into 95 degree weather! 'Could hardly breathe!

'Hated to fly back home! :lol

20*F (and falling) and 3" snow (so far) with the polar cold air headed this way. I'm talking to some folks about a new job and hoping that Chandler is the site.

We had seven FGTs at the C&C today with a morning temperature of 50 degrees. We pay for these great winter temps in the summer. Even had a Heritage FGT show but did not get a pic.

Wow! Beautiful FGTs! I am going to roll down to Scotsdale in mid March. Thinking of taking my 12c spider or 458 Italia. Prob 12c so I can pop the top. Love PHX and esp Scotsdale.

Awesome!!! Seems like critical mass. I'm surprised the Iranian Nuke Guys weren't there to prevent an explosion :)
