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
Okay okay okay. I know. Chattanooga isn’t Atlanta, but given how wide the Metro Atlanta area is, it’s not far and a lot of Atlanta folks and shops were there. So. We’re counting it. Plus I love Chattanooga, so a reason to visit is always welcome. I have been seeing people share Riverside coverage for years, gushing over how much of a great time it … Continue reading Riverside 10
This meet is relatively quiet and while it has been happening for a over a year now, I only recently learned there was a weekly meet closer to my home than a lot of the meets that happen on the east side of the city. We were able to squeeze in a visit this week on 3 19 and meet some new friends, see some … Continue reading Wicked Wednesday Weekly Meet
Y’all. What an event. I remember meeting Joseph way way way back in the day on an old forum (down and out ) that no longer exists, and if my memory is correct (which is a big if), that forum became part of SouthrnFresh. He’s put in so much incredible work building it into something so much more than just a forum where a bunch … Continue reading SouthrnFresh 12
I had every intention of alternating between Caffeine and Octane and Worship for the first Sunday meet each month, but something told me to make it to Worship and I’m glad I did. The weather was decently warm and people came out in numbers bringing with them a wide array of eye candy. Each month it seems like there’s more and more to look at … Continue reading Worship March 2025
We got here a bit early this go around, and man am I glad we did. The restaurant was already incredibly busy and the parking lot was filling up. As was our experience at S&S 2, the food was incredible, the service was friendly, and the owner Sean is exceptionally accommodating and had mentioned looking to continue to fine tune these meets until they’re the … Continue reading Slurp & Speed 3
If you’ve been around the Atlanta car scene recently, there’s a good chance you’ve heard of Justin Bonnet or one of his numerous enterprises. He can be found bringing out the Detailer’s Products van to meets and track days, detailing cars at the shop where they are the exclusive dealer for Shine Supply, or hosting his podcast, Let’s Grow. Justin tends to show up nearly … Continue reading Pistons and Peaks Feb 21
Pochino hosts a good many car centered events and is quickly becoming a center spot for the north west Atlanta car community. This was the second morning we had come in when they were open early and serving bomboloni, or Italian donuts, and both times we were impressed with the flavor of the pastries. You can also order any of the hand made pastas or … Continue reading Petrol & Pastries Feb 16
Our first visit to this meet last month was so welcoming we did it again. This time we encouraged a few local friends to join us and despite the cold weather again, the turn out was great. There were a few different faces this month and those who we had met last month were welcoming to us again. I know I said it last time … Continue reading Lifts and Lagers February
