The world’s only motorized banana and other specialty cars graced the parking lot of American Caribbean Real Estate at MM 99 on Jan. 21 for the inaugural Key Largo Cars and Coffee event.
Sandbar Donuts coffee and donuts were available to be purchased — hot or cold brew — and car and coffee enthusiasts coalesced into a community for a morning of chats. Their contribution benefited MarrVelous Pet Rescues, this month’s charity.
The idea was inspired by Lorie Leal, real estate agent, car aficionado and keeper of two miniature schnauzers. A fan of the “Jerry Seinfeld” show “Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee,” she and her husband own a red sporty car themselves, complete with sexy black Corbeau racer seats.
“As an autophile myself, I am thrilled to host a Cars and Coffee event right here in Key Largo,” she said. “The response from fellow enthusiasts who displayed their beautiful cars and the spectators that came to admire them was amazing. My brokerage, American Caribbean Christie’s International Real Estate’s downtown Key Largo location at MM 100 is the perfect venue, Sandbar Donuts’ selection of fresh donuts was delicious and the Florida Keys winter weather was spectacular.”
The next Key Largo Coffee and Cars will be held on Sunday, Feb. 11 from 9 a.m. to noon at 99900 Overseas Highway, Key Largo.
If you would like to display your vehicle, there’s a $20 donation to benefit a local charity. To reserve your spot, contact Leal on Instagram @KeyLargoCarsAndCoffee, Facebook at Key Largo Cars & Coffee, or visit KeyLargoCarsAndCoffee.com.
