At dawn, in parking lots around the world, car enthusiasts gather not for trophies or ticketed shows but for something simpler-and more profound. Cars & Coffee, Ten Years On tells the story of how a grassroots tradition that began in Southern California evolved into a global cultural institution.From Irvine to Dubai, from Tokyo to London, the Cars & Coffee format has spread across continents, adapting to local cultures while maintaining its core values of inclusivity, authenticity, and community. This book traces the movement’s origins, its rise alongside social media, and the unwritten codes of conduct that keep gatherings sustainable. It explores the delicate balance between informality and organization, the growing presence of electric vehicles, and the ways local chapters respond to safety, sustainability, and municipal pressures.Drawing on a decade of growth and change, Cars & Coffee, Ten Years On offers a comprehensive narrative of a phenomenon that has reshaped modern car culture. It is both a chronicle and a celebration of how simple rituals-coffee, conversation, and cars-can create lasting communities that endure across borders and generations.
