Exotics And Luxury at Cars for the Cure 2009 – Pictures & Video

Posted on 10. Feb, 2009 by admin in Automotive, Car Pictures, Events, Exotic Supercars

This past Saturday, Exotics And Luxury attended Cars for the Cure, an annual car show held in Lake Mary, Florida.  Car owners with a plethora of tastes get together to show their cars, have a good time, and help support a good cause.  All proceeds benefit the American Lung Association, and, according to the Cars for the Cure website, this year’s donation total was $54,540.  Well over 100 pictures available after the jump.

Many sponsors gave their time and money to make this event a success.  Classic Audi brought their line’s finest automobiles for us to gawk over (I couldn’t get over the fit and finish of the S5), Dance Time Productions provided music for the venue, Titan Motorsports made a strong appearance with many of their tuned cars showing, including a 1050 hp Toyota Supra and camoflauge Porsche 996 twin turbo (pictures available on the Titan Blog), while Barefoot Wine & Bubbly provided free wine to guests.    Luxury Auto Direct gave away free copies of their printed luxury magazine.

The setting this year for the event was perfect – mid seventy degree weather, sunshine, and absolutely zero rain just like three weeks ago when we posted our Palm Beach Supercar Weekend Pictures & Video.  The reason I mention the weather is that last year Cars for the Cure was held on the 2nd of February and it was rainy – there were talks during the closing ceremony back in 2008 of moving the event up in the calendar schedule a week as the 2nd seemed to be notoriously rainy.  Well, it looks like the event coordinations did that, and it was a success – bone dry!

We had a lot of fun, met a ton of friendly people, oogled over some of the finest cars ever made, met & mingled with some great people, and most importantly helped a cause we believe in.  We look forward to next year, perhaps we’ll have a car or two on display at the Exotics And Luxury booth.
