This event was a little quiet, only reaching a few folks beforehand which means it was a group I was very familiar with, consisting of folks we’ve driven off pavement with before. We started with a drive into Dalton to grab a donut (or three, but who was counting) at a place called Donut Palace. It was by no means the most glamorous pastry shop … Continue reading Donuts and Drives
Lifts and Lagers celebrated two years of community and growth in August of 2025 with a big celebration at Drowned Valley and man, folks poured in to hang out. It may have still been hot, but that didn’t stop folks from flooding the brewery spaces, both inside and out. While Lifts and Lagers doesn’t pick the food truck, it was a great happenstance it was … Continue reading Lifts and Lagers 2 year anniversary
I always say the Miata community is one of the friendliest groups of people to be a part of, and while I myself am not a Miata driver, I have owned one in the past and am married to an avid Miata enthusiast, so we’ve been involved with this group off and on for nearly two decades. Despite this, it was our first time being … Continue reading Miatas At The Gap
I hesitated to write this one and very much delayed in sharing it- not because I have a single negative thing to say, but because I don’t, and I’d hate to see what I truly loved about this meet get lost to an overcrowding issue. While the meet has already grown past the size offered by the space behind Perc on Hosea L Williams drive, … Continue reading Cars and Coffee Atlanta
By now I’m sure you guys are tired of me telling you all about Atlanta Breakfast Rally, but too bad so sad, we’re going to do it again! If you’re new, or haven’t read any of the previous posts about ABR here’s a quick run down. Sprouted from the idea that we should actually enjoy driving our cars instead of just standing around in various … Continue reading ABR Burnt Mountain Summer Sprint

The brainchild of Autohaus Social owner Nash Tehrani and local architect and aspiring rally driver Kyle Benedict, the brand aims to be a home for all those involved in … Continue reading Antrieb launch
If you’ve not experienced an event with Bridgemoto, you’re missing out. Their hosted drives bring out such variety, and despite this being a Mazda and rotary focused event the group was just as unique as any other we’ve done with them. Additionally, if you’re not familiar with Bridgemoto, it’s high time to remedy that. Nestled off one of the absolute best driving roads in Georgia, … Continue reading Bridgemoto 7s day drive
For the June event Atlanta Breakfast Rally partnered up with soon-to-be launched apparel brand Antrieb and local meet event Lifts and Lagers to promote a big public meet and forest service road ride. Starting at Fresh Donuts in Adairsville for breakfast and staging, the event already had a buzz of excitement as folks enjoyed their sugary treats and mingled through the parking lots, looking at … Continue reading Donuts and Drives
It was hot. Like excessively hot. Grody. Stifling. Draining. Sweat in places you ought not as soon as you leave the AC kind of hot. And those big fluffy clouds in the sky? They offered no relief, so overlanders did what overlanders do- they popped out the awnings and settled in the shade, creating a path shielded from the blaze of the sun in patches … Continue reading Lift and Lagers June
I’ve popped about a few JZilla track days as a spectator and photographer and everyone always seems to be having a fantastic time. We spent a few hours at the Saturday portion of the Esses of Summer event at Road Atlanta a few weekends ago before the OctaneFest event at Lanier chit chatting with friends and watching folks enjoy their day on track. While my … Continue reading JZilla Esses of Summer
