Coffee & Cars - Plano need help

[ssr3]

I found this post about the November Cars & Coffee...Classic BMW needs your help.


My name is Eric Maas---My family owns Classic BMW. I am very proud to host the monthly Cars & Coffee event at my dealership. I feel that now is the time to address some of your concerns and some of mine....

During the last 18 months I have had a couple of conversations with participants at our event that have informed me that their cars have been in some way damaged. While hiring security for each row would be an option I decided to ask our participants and our spectators to RESPECT the cars. Classic's volunteer workers have been preaching respect for a few months and I have not had any communication from anyone regarding damage---so, I hope that the message has been received and we can all enjoy this wonderful show.

My issue has to do with RESPECT for my cars....I have a huge inventory of new BMW's that I move out of the normal storage lot at Classic onto the front grass area near Spring Creek Parkway. I do this to offer more space for people to display their cars at the event. On Saturday, during the event 14 brand new BMW's were vandalized. Evidently a small group of individuals walked around the inventory and keyed the cars---in a couple of instances they kinda went Picasso on the them. I will be posting the pics eventually. I will also be posting a link to the officer with the Plano Police that is currently investigating this crime.

If you have recollection of seeing these people performing this crime...please contact me at ericmaas@aol.com

I love hosting this event....but the future of an event like this is in jeopardized when anyone's car is damaged. Or when someone gets out of control....It's never easy to do something right. Please help me make this right.

Sincerely,


Eric Maas,
President, Classic BMW---Home of Cars & Coffee Dallas

Please contact Eric if you have any information. Classic BMW supports our hobby and we need to support them

You got that right!! Eric and his family run a first class business and are great supporters of the hobby--they deserve better. I belive Jim (Indy500SSR) and Ronda were there last weekend -- serving coffee as part of a fund raiser.

Ronda and I were there and feel awful that this happened. I wish we saw something because we would have dealt with it right then.

Not only is this a great event for car enthusiasts, but it raises thousands of dollars for charity. Last Saturday's was for curing breast cancer in uninsured women. Next month is for Toys 4 Tots.

That's who really gets hurt if Cars and Coffee goes away...

I will be there next month, thanking Eric and looking for idiots!

NO GOOD DEED GOES UNPUNISHED. Dag-nabbit..I hate to have had to say that.

Hopefully, those that will attend the next event (if there is one) will help Eric out by keeping a vigil eye out for his interest as he's done for the enthusiasts interest.

And for those of you who aren't in the north Dallas area, this great car dealer clears his multi acre lot to allow car enthusiast and opportunity to meet and greet one Sunday a month. It's his own Show N Shine. And, as stated, ensures that it's a charity event at the same time. Kudos for him!
