In this special report, Roman talks about why muscle cars are now banned from Houston Coffee & Cars, one of the most popular monthly car meets in the United States! What happened that caused Mustangs, Challengers, Chargers, and Camaros to be permanently banned? How can other car shows prevent this from happening?

I suspect that what'll happen at C&C Houston will be more or less what happened when my local car meet did the same thing: the modern muscle cars and rice rockets will just post up in an empty parking lot across the street and have their own car meet, with blackjack and hookers.

The Houston C&C lost their Vintage Park venue because of some kid in a Genesis Coupe lost control and hit a tree. A separate event lost their Towne Lake venue because some kid spun out and hit a curb trying to show off their moms Tahoe. Seems like if anything they should ban participants under 25, or ban the crowd at the exit with their phones out waiting to catch the next viral crash.

If you do this series consistently, I think “And that’s what I think about that” is the most fitting sign off for your combination of content and personality. You speak frankly and unabashedly and that line just seems to pair with the style perfectly.

In my town of Cary NC, this problem was solved with an entrance fee for all attendees for the car owners to the event organizers. A portion of that fee was then goes to the town to pay for police presence at the event to prevent burnouts and bad behavior. Yes, it has echoes of Mafia protection, extortion money, and of a police state. But we have no bad behavior or burnouts from attendees now. It is a shame that a few bad people always, ALWAYS, ruin it for everyone else.

You guys attended my local cars and coffee (Blackhawk) several years ago. That show was a victim of its own success, growing until it started taking over the entire shopping center parking lot. Some of the businesses complained about parking, and some of the local Karens up the hill complained about noise. And one particularly famous incident involving an orange BMW that lost control into the median. Someone else organizes a cars and coffee now in a different location, much smaller, and on a Friday because they know that the old guys who are retired can attend it while dumb kids are at school or work. Blackhawk Museum still hosts car shows from time to time, but they are much more strict about it.

This type of behavior is everywhere. Here in NorCal it could come from any type of owner, driving any type of car, at any type of event. And there’s always a crowd big enough egging it on. This whole problem is a deeper car culture problem than most will admit. People love seeing it, no matter how it ends. Social media gets so moist over it. It got to the point where I decided to currently not engage with my local car scene in any way. And that’s sad, because I do miss it. I can’t be the only person deciding this because of a potential bad situation. I feel that car enthusiasts coming to this decision is almost worse than the ones causing problems, or these blanket bans that come across as lazy and reactive at best. The people causing problems will always want to come back. Quiet people who behave and want no drama may not. Maybe we can’t have nice things?

If I was running the show, I'd have cars sign up with info and a proper set of rules of conduct. Getting in would require you to submit info about your car such as make, model, color, plate #. Then if someone is being disruptive, you can identify that specific individual and revoke their ticket for future events (or give them temp. suspensions for first time offenders). Of course, the issue here is big corporations not wanting something bad to happen so they don't have bad PR associated with their name b/c that's all that really matters. They could care less if someone is hurt or killed, they just don't want that to be with their name stamped on the flag above it.

If they grew the event up, like Hot Rod Power Tour, Cleetus and Cars, Woodward Dream Cruise, LS Fest and held the event at a racetrack or huge stadium parking lot, they could set up one or more supervised events like an autocross, drift course, short drag strip or burnout box and there would be significantly less reason or temptation for anyone to act like a hooligan on the streets near the event, how can a bunch of people who are supposed to enthusiasts and companies that promote ownership of fast street cars expect people to not drive fast on the street, that is the most hipocritical thing I ever heard, if these were all illegal racecars being trailered there to only be shown that would be one thing, this is a celebration of fast street legal vehicles, grow up the event, make more money and give these people a designated place to show off and have fun. If the place where the event happens is against that, move it to somewhere that will accommodate it, the event certainly brings money to the businesses in the vicinity of the event selling fuel, food and so on its horse to say they don't and they need to accommodate the visitors and attendees, even if it means having police block off a section of a side road, setting up concrete barriers, wetting the road and letting people do a rolling burnie with supervision and relative safety, this Fudd attitude is disgusting and stupid.

Burnouts and revving have been a part of every car meet I've ever been to, I get that this is a big event and the sponsors/non-participating attendees changes it. Could they possibly have a designated 'hooning area' or a planned burnout contest of some kind so people can get it out of their system in a controlled/relatively safe area? I think while some may not like it there are also some, including spectators who come to see that stuff too.

I agree with it. I’ve seen quite a few Arizona meets die from behavior such as this and it’s usually either modern muscle or early to mid 2000s Nissans. Unfortunately many drivers of those cars just don’t know how to respect other’s property

This was really well said. I know it’s slightly off topic but here goes. I can totally understand why they did this because of a huge personal reason is probably gonna sound like a broken record. Last year a friend of mine suggested a local Jeep meetup called “ Jeep’s & Java”. I was a little reluctant to go because my 98 Cherokee is not exactly a pinup model and I’m a huge introvert. Nobody ragged on me about my faded trim pieces or paint chips but rather everyone that went welcomed me with open arms. There are few better sensations than that. There was one time that one of those meetups got me out of a big pit of depression I was in. I think that it’s completely understandable that the big 3 muscle cars were banned because when someone acts rowdy, they risk the future of that one car meet. That car meet I bet has guys like me who don’t have a lot of self-esteem, are shy, and are huge introverts where a car meet helps them breathe for a little while around fellow car enthusiasts. I hope you do more “Roman Reports” :)

Definitely something to think about. With 9000 cars they don't have to worry about who else will show up, if anything it'll make the other stuff easier to see. And windows that don't go down all the way aren't a child-safety thing, they have to do with how much space in the door there is for the window to retract into with the rear wheelwell in the way.

There is a completely unorganized meet in Rancho Santa Fe (Uber-rich suburb north of San Diego) that happens every Saturday morning, hundreds of people show up and there is literally zero organizing body involved which is likely the only reason the old ladies haven’t shut it down yet. I attend and I’ve personally seen several multi-million dollar vintage Ferraris, 300SL Gullwings, 1920’s coachbuilt cars like Packards, Porsche 959’s, every flavor of 911 you could ever imagine, hell Doug DeMuro personally shows up a lot of the time in his Carrera GT. Yeah we have some bad actors but they typically get the evil eye from those in attendance. It proves it can be done even without big-money sponsorship and I think letting in corporate money is making a deal with the devil, sooner or later there’s a catch when their interests conflict with yours.

I was at that event in my Jurassic Jeep and with a friend in a Jurassic explorer. It was the day they actually permanently banned muscle cars. Unlike events before that it was complete disorganization and chaos, it was supposed to be 80s 90s retro day and we were supposed to have reserved spots for movie vehicles. nothing. they gave the spots to random vehicles (although the Delorean made it) complete opposite of last year's 80s 90s themed show. Hopefully it'll be better next year.

I've read posts online asking why people bring modern cars to the typical car shows that give out trophies. I explained that the majority of car shows use the entry fees and food sales for donations to local charities and the generated revenue would suffer greatly if modern cars were excluded. Most modern car owners who attend don't expect to get a trophy because they know the local car clubs that normally run the events are biased more towards the classic cars that they own. Some of the car shows have instituted separate categories for more modern cars. I've only been to one cars and coffee event and it was a different animal all together.

The show organizers support it by having classes for those cars. If not for modern muscle, car shows would be overrun by corvettes (which leads to the largest collection of New Balance sneakers you'd ever want to see) or JDM stuff, or not have many cars at all, because the classics are getting hella expensive.

This was great, I'd like to see more of these. They can even be shorter if you don't have a lot of time to dedicate to them. The anything in the news format has a lot of possibilities. As to C&C Houston, hopefully they find a more just way to deal with troublemakers but I definitely understand why they did what they did. Even if money wasn't on the line, safety is and if people got hurt because of dudebros acting out in public then that would be the organizers' first concern. And beyond safety, there could also be police and legal trouble to come along with it. Individual invites or registrations to have a record of who is there and who can then be banned if need be sounds like the best solution.

Wow, how times have changed. I can recall going to car shows in the 80s-90, maybe to about the mid 2000s and I recall very few people driving like butt holes ,doing holeshots, leaving the parking lot like a maniac, showing off. It was 95% low keyed. My 86 Olds 442 isnt too bad running mid 12s but it never crossed my mind to drive like a jerk in a parking lot at a car show or leaving the show doing fish tails, running into the curb or slamming into a crowd of people. Shows were more about bench racing while drinking a beer with your hood popped, checking out the sound of that lumpy bump stick in your mill. However, as you talked about, these were classic muscle cars owned by people who weren't total ass wipes.

“Modern mustang” definitely needs to be defined a bit more. Red Betty is 20yo. My 94 mustang is 30yo. ….that’s a classic mustang, right? It’s an SN95. Red Betty is a 21st century SN95. I only went to one cars and coffee, in Dallas. It was over a decade ago, as Im not a morning person, and the only stupid stuff people did was due to peer pressure. There were signs telling you what not to do as you left, but there would be a crowd of people cheering you on. It was pretty intense. But there were also several officers parked nearby, and they would pull over each and every person “exhibiting speed.” I was too afraid to even accelerate over 2000 RPMs out of fear that the police would pull me over simply due to the sound. I disappointed everyone there that was watching. I disappointed myself and my car. But modern me wonders if they were only cheering people on BECAUSE they wanted them to get caught.

The accepted delineation is anything 25 years old or older is "classic", and everything newer is "modern" (that's the way car shows tend to be split up). I'd have to argue though that anything made from 2005 and newer is "modern" for American muscle cars.
