This meet was absolutely for and about the people. A very laid back atmosphere that felt like sipping sweet tea on your grandma’s porch with your closest friends and some new neighbors was enhanced by the wide array of JDM cars, which only makes sense as Ginkgo is a Japanese import company.

If you’re not already familiar, the Ginkgo team offers a flat fee, $70 per item, to add it to their shipping container, making it affordable and oh so tempting to spend all your money on UpGarage and the Yahoo auctions then have them handle the packing and shipping to get all your goodies stateside. And if you’re having some trouble finding your dream car, game console or figurines? Just let them know! They’re happy to help try to source and confirm items.

Keep an eye on the Ginkgo socials, either on Instagram or join the Facebook group for details on the next meet, which is currently planned to be the first Saturday of every month hosted in Clarkesville (don’t let the distance deter you). You’ll also be treated to the daily treasure post on their socials, which could be anything from wheels, complete cars or any other miscellaneous items for grabs in Japan. If you’re looking for a great, low key meet or to pick up some JDM goodies or are just looking for some good folks to call friends, check out Ginkgo’s Golden Hour Social, join the group and prepare for the temptation to buy things you never knew existed.
