Every fair-weather Saturday, hundreds of car enthusiasts in Virginia, D.C., Maryland and neighboring states wake up early to bring their toys to the 7-to-9 a.m. Cars & Coffee in Great Falls, VA, about half an hour west of Washington, D.C. The same goes for dozens of car buffs in the Baltimore area and York County, PA, who flock to the 8-to-10 a.m. Cars & Coffee in Hunt Valley, MD. Usually, many attendees come and go, with some staying only for a short while. Many show up sporadically, some with a different car each time, so most cars tend to be different from one Saturday to the next, practically making every visit worthwhile.

For those interested in joining the fun, here's the Great Falls address: Katie's Coffee House, 760 Walker Rd., Great Falls, VA 22066. They serve very good coffee and breakfast items. The Hunt Valley gathering is held at one of the parking lots of the Hunt Valley Town Center.

I shot all the Cars & Coffee photos in this gallery with a handheld Nikon P7100, on July 6 in Great Falls and on May 18 in Hunt Valley. All have been resized for online viewing.
