Ford Cars and Coffee @ USS Hornet in Alameda

[HuntingPudel]

I went to the Cars and Coffee event that Ford put together outside of the USS Hornet in Alameda. There were a lot of local MMEs and F150 Lightnings in attendance. It was great to get to talk to many forum members. Thanks to everyone who stopped to talk. ?? Sorry I didn’t bring my boss. ?‍?

USS Hornet as the backdrop. ??

Mach-E Rally frunk cooler. ??

Signage, because, why not? ??

You don't want to get run over by this. ??

F150 Lightnings and an interloper. ??

Electric pickups! ??

The main line-up of F-150 Lightnings and Mach-Es. ??

Demonstrator F-150 Lightning with an Xbox system in the frunk, plus extension cords out the bed to run a refrigerator, coffee service, and cook tops. ??

View from the Mach-E end. ??

Food service and Ford's informational people. ??

Over-flowing with Mach-Es! ??

Blucifer Tucifer with the USS Hornet as a backdrop. Oh, and the ugly Pudelmobile too. ??

Gratuitous shot of the Pudelmobile next to a Rally. I've gotten so used to the 275s, that everything else looks skinny. ??

The forum doesn’t let me upload JPEGs shot on my camera, so I had to spend a little time shrinking some of them. ?? The lazy dog in me is hoping that there is a setting that @Administrator can set for the forum that allows me to upload a larger JPEG. Otherwise, I have to pretend to be the quick brown fox. At least I’m not shooting RAW.??

@Ford Motor Company brought in some local caterers. They made us breakfast tacos, hash brown patties, bacon, sausage patties, coffee, and hot chocolate. The food was pretty good and the caterers were really nice. ?? The only bad thing was the long line. ??

That's super cool they had caterers and again, wish I could have been there. When I upload photos from my camera, I have a custom setting in my photo editor that reduces the size to 3000px for either dimension since that is the largest the forum will post. That also brings down the file size enough for the forum to accept it unless I shoot RAW in which case I need to reduce the jpeg quality a bit to keep it under 10mb or so.

These are awesome photos of the event, Steve! Thanks for sharing them with the forum and your continued support for Ford.

LOL while I was wearing my Mach-E vest for part of the morning, I was reppin’ Pontiac with my ‘79 T/A T-shirt too. ??

Of course I was out of town is when this happened on the island!

I got email for the event 2 days prior. While I was already set to be out of town, wish there was a little more heads up…

I heard about it with a little more lead time and had to reorganize the weekend and put some stuff off to next month. I didn’t even know that I was able to go until 5:30am on Saturday. ??

We got home late yesterday but that was a really great time! We had a lot of similar pics so I'll only post a couple.

This is from Friday when we went to do a media preview of the Electrify Expo:

And a couple from Saturday morning:

download irfanview ... fabulous free image editor has batch re-sizer for images small enough to upload while retaining image quality.

Would have been so cool if you could have driven onto the top deck of the USS Hornet.. but alas, liability issues

 

[JohnFoxeSheets]

Great photos, Steve! And I sure am glad I arrived late enough that you didn't get any of me ?

Did you get any of everyone scurrying away as the unexpected August rain shower suddenly started dumping?

When people started scurrying off was the pefect time to get in the food line. ??

I especially like the vinyl wrap front license 'plate'. I wish more states would approve these.

Great pics! If I had known, I would have showed up, too. Were the Ford people mostly informational or were they also engineers that listened to feedback etc
