It had been a few months since we made it out to one of these meets due to some schedule conflicts and I was happy to see it had grown in the last few months. The weather was perfect, a slight unseasonal chill in the air and a cotton candy sunset slinking across the sky. We finally made it into the storefront this time and … Continue reading Pistons and Peaks May 2025
Throwing all the M’s into that title this go around. This meet was short, but saw lots of new folks. Despite being held on Memorial day (hey, more M words), folks were willing to show up and hang out. At least until the rain came barrelling in, literally washing away anyone interested in mingling. I snapped a few photos, spoke to some friends and then … Continue reading Miata Monday May at MamiTaco
We bounced from Road Atlanta to the BBS USA headquarters right next door to catch a bit of the BBS Bound event on May 10th, a collaborative event set up by Autohaus Social and BBS. It may have been a wet, soggy show but people still showed up and brought out their best. Outside the warehouse the well manicured lawn and parking lot were adorned … Continue reading BBS Bound
The 4th Monday of the month meant it was Miata meet day, and we were happy to see some new faces making it to the meet this time, as well as some of the nearly every month regulars. The weather was fantastic and we were treated to a lovely sunset while a good many of us ate our dinner off trunks of tiny sports cars. … Continue reading Miata Monday Mamitaco 4.28.25
We risked the chance of rain to make it out to the 4th iteration of Slurp and Speed, back after a hiatus in April, and while I know we missed some folks who left before we could get there, it was still a great turn out. Each time we make it to this meet I talk about how great the food is, and this visit … Continue reading Slurp & Speed 4
So let’s just be super transparent here for the sake of this post. 1- we went to this meet for the cars, and to see all the folks we know at Koru and friends that we’ve known for ages and 2- despite being a woman, I know NOTHING about fashion except a few designer’s names and those red bottomed shoes. To say this was a … Continue reading Koru x Antidote
This was our first time at a Pints and Pistons meet, and we picked a good one to start off with. This meet brought out a lot of fun builds, including two manual swapped Mercedes, lots of BMWs, an Evo 5 and a VR4 Galant. Presented by Traction Insurance (if you’re not familiar, http://www.tractionins.com), there was a trophy for best of both JDM and DTM … Continue reading Pints and Pistons JDM vs DTM
Hill and the L&L crew let ABR take over the back lot and crash their party at the brewery, and there seemed to be a good appreciation from both groups for the intermingling and variety of things to look at. I say it every time we cover one of these meets, but you sincerely will not find a more welcoming group of off-roaders or overlanders … Continue reading Lifts and Lagers 4-13-2025
If you’ve paid attention to the local scene as a Skyline enthusiast, you’ve likely seen the name Speedgate. While they aren’t just for Skylines or Nissan or even just the broad banner of import, they have a reputation brewing in those communities. While Speedgate hosts many events under their own banner ranging from the group drives to the Skyline Invitational, this event is branded separately … Continue reading Locals and Legends 4/3/2025
I typically don’t love single make meets, much less single model, but at least the Miata folks bring a wide variety of builds and you’ll never meet a friendlier bunch of folks. As a few of them say, it’s hard to take yourself too seriously in a car that is so unserious, and that translates well to these meets. Miatas of all generations and build … Continue reading Marietta Monday Miatas at MamiTaco
