Making a C&C that only allows certain cars is a weird concept to me. In Dallas anyone can just show up and park as long as you are early enough to find a spot.
@@orlandosotolongo3385 I think for the most part the “ricer” scene kids don’t show up to the cars and coffee meets. But regardless, these meets aren’t about who’s allowed and who’s not allowed in. It’s an open to the public event. If anyone starts acting up, simple solution is to kick them out. The solution is not to forbid entrance to “just the regular Corolla” like really? 🤦🏾♂️
At C & C here in Atlanta they have areas for different types of cars. Exotics in one and one for Porches then a general lot for everything else. Glad you had a chance to let people see you GR in the wild. Heading over next week, picked up my GR 1/26/23.
I stopped going to Houston Coffee & Cars when they moved it to Post over a year ago. The people that run it don't know anything about cars short of it being an exotic. If they can't associate the name plate (i.e., Civic, Corolla, Lancer, Impreza etc.) with some kind of " sports car" linage. They just won't let it in. They probably didn't even know the Corolla had a sports car version out since they don't keep up with anything short of Exotic cars.
Happy to see this car in person. I was looking for you to say hi. Sucks about the rain. It made a lot of people leave. Hope to finally get to meet you at the next show.
As soon as I get past this breaking period I'm going to try to schedule a track day. But as far as back roads go. There aren't really any windy ones near me.
I just picked mine up Saturday afternoon, black as well, so you aren't the only one in Houston any longer. congrats, fun car. Houston C&C is fun to park in the back early, go to the front and watch the gate keepers turn people away.
No it's not my daily. And with the kids in the back they seem fine. But honestly I can't see anyone above 5'9" being comfortable back there for too long.
The more of these videos I see the less enthusiastic I am to go to one of these. I’d be just as excited seeing a mint 95 Honda del Sol SI as I would any Lamborghini or Ferrari or whatever. A true car enthusiast respects and appreciates all fun, quirky and relatively rare vehicles, even if they do not prefer them. There is soo much hype behind this car. I bet this car is and has been dominating search result percentages compared to almost all the cars there. Seems like there is a lot of elitist gatekeeping trash going on. They must have known what the car is. I’m sure the gatekeepers have strict rules. Wouldn’t want every Civic with a body kit coming in and mucking up place.
I’m probably going to get a lot of hate for this, but what kind of gas mileage are you getting in the GR? I heard the GR Yaris was around 32 on the highway. I would get around 29 in my evo 8. Thanks!
AWESOME!!!, I hope it becomes the unwritten rule for Car Shows to never let the GR Corolla in 🤣 Just like when you are in Guitar store and they don't let you play Stair Way to Heaven 😁 That means be original! But I think it was the family vibe they got from the baby's car seat 😂😂😂
I didn't see anything about them not letting you in on the video. You never pulled up so they probably thought you were lost and in a basic Corolla. Next time drive up and explain what your car is so we can actually see it get rejected 😂
Actually… there’s TWO GR Corollas in Htown. Saw another one in I-10 last Saturday and it wasn’t you 😅 but at least you’re the first one to have one of these. Keep posting them videos!
That guy already posted in the comments. He said he bought it Saturday afternoon. So technically at the time Anthony Recorded this and during C&C. He was the only one.
This car and the type r are completely unavailable due to extremely low production numbers for these cars and the dealer mark-ups make them laughable for you get vs the competition at the asking price! The new mustang will be available in large numbers and will fart on either of these cars! Keep em Toyota, Honda and your stealerships
I think this GR corolla is super cool, such an engineering masterpiece.
Agreed!
Lol they thought you were a regular Corolla. But I saw a shit box civic get in 🤣
🤣

Maybe I'll make it out to one of those soon
i think its good that they regulate this so that it doesn't get over run by the local ricers like happened where i live.

Old people like that shouldn't be allowed to run these types of car events if they don't even know what car is what lol.
😅
That subie was really cool
Awww. Linc is so cute. It looks like he is having so much fun.
I saw a video where a type R FL5 got kick out of cars&coffee as well.

Whoever is the one approving who gets in or not at the entrance need to be replaced ASAP

Kip Gawing 😍🔥

I stopped going to Houston C&C a long time ago because of this BS gatekeeping
Same. I haven't been back since.
Great collection of cars. Where do folks find twisty roads in Houston to enjoy these cars? Heard there are some great roads in Austin though.
There really aren't any fun Twisties in Houston. But I think in Austin there is Lime Creek and Twisted Sisters
That widebody R32 was definitely my favorite this month
Mine too!
Glad I got to see this beautiful machine in person Saturday. Glad they realized their mistake and let you in.
Yeah two hours later when everyone was leaving because of the rain lol
Leave it to the ricer Ferraris to be revving at a car meet but they wouldn't let in your GR Corolla 🤦🏻
😅
That’s crazy because this is definitely one of the main cars I’d be spending time around with if I saw it.
I had a lot of people tell me the same at the event. They were just as shocked as I was when that guy at the front turned me away.
Overtime more custom parts and touches viola a stand out car
Agreed!
Happy to see this car in person. I was looking for you to say hi. Sucks about the rain. It made a lot of people leave. Hope to finally get to meet you at the next show.
I was inside post most of the time because of the rain
any track vids coming or back road driving?
As soon as I get past this breaking period I'm going to try to schedule a track day. But as far as back roads go. There aren't really any windy ones near me.
The GR interests me more than alot of the cars there
Nothing wrong with a strolling video…makes me feel like I was there!😃 I’m always missing IAH’s CnC, anyway.🤪😭
Same! I never wake up early enough.
ever since the Houston C&C went to post. It's been terrible! Bring it to Catalina instead.
I agree 💯%
The same thing happened to the new FL5. RJ was even in the car when that happened lol.
I just saw that video this morning lol
Glad to see you posting on here again. Good stuff.
Hopefully a lot more to come. Need to make a update video about all the other cars
For sure. I’m really interested in your plans for the accord.
Trash ass Cars & Coffee if they’re doing that
I saw your car next to the GR Supra. If it had a GR86 there that would have been an amazing picture.
I was hoping one would show up too
You need an even wider body kit to get in lol
😅
is Gas 2.79 WTF
This is what happens when Karen's run a C&C. It should be open to the public for anyone who wants to display their cars.
Lol 💯%
Accord Video update?
Coming soon
Sinclair just made a video last week of how dumb that staff is at this meet. Come bring it to Catalina 🤙
I just picked mine up Saturday afternoon, black as well, so you aren't the only one in Houston any longer. congrats, fun car.
Houston C&C is fun to park in the back early, go to the front and watch the gate keepers turn people away.
Ah Nice! Congratulations! What part of Houston are you from?
@@antdo I'm over in the East End, not too far from UH Main campus. I'll keep a lookout for you at the next C&C I go to.
Honestly I find it funny all the cars they let in to that meet. But turned away a brand new GR Corolla....
🤷♂️
They would have let your Accord in lol.
Maybe lol
There is a white GR Corolla in Katy TX
I mean this video is a month old now. There's actually 5 in Houston in now
@@antdo cool, hope to see you around some time
I miss it being at Memorial City Mall.
Me too
Why did you not ceramic coat the roof?
I'm going to wrap it. And my wrap guy said for me to make sure it wasn't coated so the vinyl would stick
Can we just take a second to talk about how cheap your gas is compared to here in California!
😅😅
When we getting an update on the accord? Cant wait to see that!
C&C was so much funny! Let's go again next month!
Will you be out at the NASA Season Opener in a couple of weeks?
Yes
They thought you were a regular Corolla 😂
😅
Masterpiece
🙏🙏🙏
Bring it to Austin C&C. It will get a much better appreciation there.
In March for SLB
Man, I thought we had a strict approval system lol.
😅😅
That ceramic coat is doing its job!
💯
Did you see the Black FL5 there?
No I did not. Didn't even realize the new FL5 was there.
Is the GR your daily? And how well does the 2 and 6 year old fit in the back?
No it's not my daily. And with the kids in the back they seem fine. But honestly I can't see anyone above 5'9" being comfortable back there for too long.
Never knew they had Cars and Coffee Karen variants

Can’t believe they didn’t let you in because they thought you were a regular Corolla 😂
And that’s the beauty of this car IMO. You can park it anywhere and no one will notice if it is a regular XSE or a GR. Love it!
I LOVE my 22 XSE 😎 I would show up to cars and coffee in it lol!
@@TonyPrado slap some GR badges on it and see what happens. Just for the lolz 😆
@@guillermoyelamo5816 hahaha!!
@@TonyPrado I would show up in my stock Tacoma LOL. The GR Corolla is straight fire though. Wish I had the extra cash to pick one up.

Thanks!
As of right now it's getting about 27mpg hwy
@@antdoThank you!!!
No problem
Houston C&C is terribel.
Take it to Catalina. It's 1000x better than Coffee and Cars any ways. #CarChurch.
I was going to go the following day. But it was raining when i would have left. So I slept in lol
LOL you just drive a Corolla at the end of the day.
😅
At the end of the day, there's a bit of narcissism, and IG culture associated with all this. Hence the countless exotics. Great car nonetheless.
Shameful🤔!
Lol
XD Dude either is was they didn't know OR it was because you got there late man lol but this comment is posted at middle of the video.
