Bernie's Car Show Coverage: Caffeine and Octane: June 2015

This past Sunday was Atlanta's most dependable car show, Caffeine and Octane. Held in the parking lot of Perimeter Mall, cars from all over came to be a part of this show. There were vintage cars, old schools, exotic cars, luxury cars, import cars, American muscle, and even a former New York City fire truck.

Bernie's Car Show Coverage: 2015 Stuntfest Car Show

For the first time in a few years, the Stuntfest Car Show had some gorgeous weather. Come rain or shine, this car show has proven that nothing can slow down or completey stop this show. There were old schools and new schools, there were hardtops and convertibles, there were vehicles on Asantis, Forgiatos, Lexanis, Savinis, Dubs, and Amanis, there were wrapped vehicles and candy painted vehicles, and of course there were plenty of vehicles that provided plenty of live entertainment.

No matter what, I can always count on the Stuntworld guys to plan a great show. I have no complaints, except for the traffic situation getting into the show.

Bernie's Car Show Coverage: Caffeine and Exotics- April 2015

Remember the saying "April showers bring May flowers?" This past Sunday was the rain date for the second Caffeine and Exotics of the year. Held in the main parking lot of Lenox Square Mall, car lovers of all ages gathered to observe some gorgeous, luxurious cars. What I love most about this show is the fact that they're strict about what vehicles can be a part of the show.

Thanks to Motorcars of Atlanta, the star of the show was this McLaren 570S, however, it wasn't my first time seeing it. McLaren debuted the 570S a few weeks ago at the New York International Auto Show. They brought two to the Javits Convention Center- an orange one and a gray one. Of course, the orange one was purchased by an attendee of the Auto Show, but the gray one was shipped to the official McLaren dealership of Atlanta- Motorcars of Atlanta.

If the McLaren 570S is the star, then Butler Tire definitely provided the supporting actor. Butler Tire brought a Mercedes Benz S550 with a Lorinser Body Kit on it.

Not to be outdone by the 570S and the modified S550 was this Lamborghini Huracan. This Huracan was painted a rare matte color called Grigio Titans (Translation: Gray) and the brake calipers are Verde Ithaca (Translation: Lime Green).

Butler Tire Shows Off a Mercedes Benz S Class Coupe on Lexani Wheels

Atlanta's most dependable wheel and tire company, Butler Tire released photos of one of their latest projects.  After its debut at the 2014 New York International Auto Show, the Mercedes Benz S63 Coupe has become one of the most sought after luxury vehicles of 2015. Butler Tire decided to work their magic by pairing this S63 with Lexani's LF722 wheels in 22 inches.

 

After all, Butler Tire will baby your car. Looks great!!!

Bernie's Car Show Coverage: Caffeine and Exotics- November 2014

Taking a break from the SEMA Coverage to post coverage from the final Caffeine and Exotics of 2014. Held at Lenox Square Mall in the Buckhead section of Atlanta, Caffeine and Exotics is the show where you want to see all exotics and luxury cars under one roof-- I mean-- in one parking lot.

The final show of the year didn't fall short by far. Normally there's one star of the show, but this month had two stars.

The first star(s) were the twin black BMW i8s that showed up at the show. For many of the attendees it was their first time seeing the i8s, but fortunately I was able to see it when BMW debuted it at the New York Auto Show earlier this year. New York saw it in April. Atlanta... November. Just being honest.

The other stars of the show was these two Lotus Espirits. The backstory to these Espirits is that they were in the 1977 James Bond film "The Spy Who Loved Me". The Espirit on the left was featured in the land scenes and the one on the right was for the underwater scenes. More photos are below...

I love stuff like this. Let's continue with the rest of the show.

This post wasn't as photo heavy as it usually is. I was still focusing on my SEMA coverage at the time. For more photos, check out Bernie's November 2014 Caffeine and Exotics Gallery.

Bernie's Car Show Coverage: Caffeine and Exotics: October 2014...

On October 19th, Atlanta held it's fourth Caffeine and Exotics in the Buckhead section of the city. This month's show had a pair of special guests. Not one, but two Lamborghini green Huracans arrived at the show. I felt cheated because the Huracans didn't debut at the New York Auto Show, so I had to wait until they debuted everywhere else and then it found its way to Atlanta... I'm slightly spoiled.



Aside from the Huracans stealing the show (let's be honest, they totally did) the usual suspects showed up- Porsches, Maseratis, Corvette C7 Stingrays, Teslas, Rolls Royces, the other Lamborghini models, Ferraris, Ford GT, Aston Martins, BMWs, Mercedes Benz, Nissan GTRs, Bentleys, basically everything that you would expect an Exotic car show to have. Without further ado, here's my coverage...







































And finally for the first time ever at Caffeine and Exotics...

A Ford Shelby actually showed up.
