🚗 Coeur d’Alene Cars & Coffee – Quick Reminder

We love this community and want to keep this event going—but that only happens if the rules are respected.

👉 Moving forward, there will be ZERO WARNINGS.

If you break the rules, you will be asked to leave and/or banned. No second chances.

🚫 No revving, burnouts, or showing off
👀 No filming at exits that encourages bad behavior
(We can’t control sidewalks, but if it leads to issues you will be trespassed from coming back on the Church’s private property. We really don’t want to do this, but we will if we have to.)
👉 Go meet somewhere else to get your rolling shots.

🐢 Drive slow and quiet in and out
✋ Don’t touch cars without permission
🅿️ Park where directed
🚷 No reckless driving of any kind
👨‍👩‍👧 Keep it family-friendly

This is how events get shut down—and law enforcement will step in if needed.

We don’t want that. We want a safe, respectful, top-tier event for everyone.

If you’re here for the right reasons, we’re glad to have you.
If not, this isn’t the event for you.

Let’s keep it solid. 👍

Not everyone is going to like this, but it needs to be said.

Not everyone is going to like this, but it needs to be said.

As cars were leaving today, there were several people posted up at the exit and along 4th Street with phones and video cameras. That kind of attention encourages behavior that will get cars — and ultimately people — banned from the event.

And let’s be very clear — if this keeps happening, the cops will shut us down. None of us want that.

Here’s the reality: I have video footage and can identify who was involved.

Please don’t let this continue. If it does, those responsible will be removed from the event.

This isn’t about being a “Karen” or a “Bob.” It’s about protecting what we’ve built. Cars and Coffee has been a great, respectful, and enjoyable event for years — and I want to keep it that way.

Help us out:
When you leave, keep it quiet and respectful.

Let’s keep this event something we can all continue to enjoy.
