Cars and Coffee isn’t just a South Florida thing, it’s a worldwide event that happens pretty much in every large metropolitan area. The concept is simple enough; wake up early, wash your car and drive to the location and park it. Last Saturday a resident of Northern Virginia was doing just that with his freshly purchased, 24-hour aged $300,000 McLaren 720S. That is before he smashed it into a tree in Great Falls. Presumably, on his way to the well known Katie’s Cars and Coffee event that was close-by, the driver lost control of the exotic sports car, for reasons as the Fairfax County Police Department described simply as “speed”. Fortunately, the driver escaped the wreck and was taken to the hospital with “non-life threatening injuries”, as reported by the Fairfax PD.
