American legends & icons on display at eastern Pennsylvania ‘Super Car’ charity weekend.






The CF Charities Super Car Show donates 100% of its proceeds to the CF Charities 501c(3) non-profit. Dental disease is the number one disease among disadvantaged children, and the second greatest disease for these children is the lack of a real opportunity for a productive future. CF Charities directly attacks both problems through dental care and oral health education in Philadelphia, Baltimore and Camden public and parochial schools. It also creates a workforce pipeline for the graduates of the Oral Health Academies it helped to establish. By educating and treating these children, CF Charities is changing the expectations for this generation’s most disadvantaged children.

EXOTIC AGENDA Ever yone in the car hobby remembers their first. No, I'm not talking about that kind of first, I'm talking about the first time you made the connection that would last a lifetime. Its an intangible thing..but you know the minute it happens. I was 8 years old,mid summer in Brooklyn,Ny. My good neighbors a few houses down had just invited my mom and I to the beach. As we gathered our stuff and headed over ,I heard it . It was a glorious sound,..low,deep and rhythmic with a hint of metallic machiner y.As my neighbor backed out of his garage ,I was in awe. I had never seen it before. As a child in Brooklyn ,my world was pretty small. My exposure was limited to school, my neighborhood and TV. No cable and no internet back in the 70's. We're talking Happy Days,Grease and Variety shows. The cars on my block were big ,square ,steel transportation devices with some VW beetles in between. This was different,this was art. The car was a 1967 Cher r y Red Mustang. It had a black vinyl top and chrome wheels. I think it was a stick with black interior.The one thing I vividly remember like yesterday was sticking my head out the small back window and listening to that exhaust sound all the way to the beach. It wasn't an exotic but what did I know back then?,it didn't matter.I was hooked. I didn't get to see my first exotic up close untill many years after,a Fer rari Testarossa.Like many kids,we saw them first in movies like,The Gumball Rally,Canonballl Run,Gone in 60 Seconds,etc.


Back then exotic cars were just that, exotic! They were ver y expensive,ver y rare,ver y temper mental and rarely accessible to the average joe. Things are different now.. Through the years the exotic car ownership has boomed. The cars are better built,more reliable and as a result, being driven as opposed to sitting in a garage. Enthusiasts are bringing there cars out to club events,charity shows and car meets such as Cars and Coffee which are gaining popularity. We love to see these cars up close.It doesn't matter if you own one or not, as car lovers we can appreciate the beauty and technolog y past or present of these rolling machines. After countless shows,The number one statement I heard over and over is " I didnt know that was happening ,I would've gone!" Exotic Agenda was started with one main goal... that is to infor m the local enthusiast of upcoming exotic car events. That has expanded to Concours shows,Exclusive club events ,Dealership events and Charities. We focus on high end luxur y,exotics,sports and collectable classic cars. Events like these in general tend to be word of mouth or private invite only,which we find counter productive in the overall goal of the brand,business or charity being promoted. If you want to raise awareness to a charity or promote a brand why not extend your reach, not just to those fortunate few but to ever yone. We provide photo coverage,anecdotal obser vations and insider infor mation on events and vehicles.We encourage photographers and hobbyists to share their pics or info on upcoming events. Its all good. We've had insider access to the Aston Martin One 77 ,Lexus LFA and more recently the McLaren P1 . Some of our favorite local shows are the Concours events like the Americana of Manhasset in NY and the CT Greenwich Concours. The Supercars on State Street and The CF Charities Supercar shows in PA are always excellent! Our website is constantly evoling as we gain affiliates and expand our coverage so there will always be growing pains . We're a small group of entusiasts,we all have day jobs and families with crazy schedules. We've met some great people,celebrities and non-celebrities along the way from all walks of life and seen some incredible vehicles.We do this for the love of the hobby,so check us out! You can download our calendar thats regularly updated so you don't miss out!
