Atlanta's most dependable car show, Caffeine and Octane occured this past Sunday. Held at the Perimeter Mall in Dunwoody, Caffeine and Octane allows car enthusiasts from all over to bring their cars and to show them off. It doesn't matter if you arrive in a Dodge Challenger, Mercedes Benz C430, Cadillac El Dorado, Nissan, GTR, Chevy Chevelle, VW Beetle, or a Ferrari F 12 Berlinetta- just as long as you arrive before the show ends.
Since the weather is starting to get warmer, the attendence has been increasing and some interesting cars have been showing up. Like this fire breathing Dodge truck that definitely turned some heads...
Buick Wildcat
This Lowrider definitely entertained the crowd
BMW i8 on Forgiato Wheels

Atlanta's favorite car- Chevy Chevelle
Butler Tire also brought this chrome wrapped Range Rover on Forgiato Wheels
The start of the 2016 New York Auto Show was March 23rd, but the official opening day happened to be March 26th. Held in Midtown at the Jacob Javits Convention Center, this auto show is never one to miss. With unveilings from Nissan, Maserati, BMW, Mercedes Benz, Chevrolet and more, there was PLENTY of ground to cover and PLENTY of eye candy to photograph.
Even though I'm from New York, this was my fourth time going to the New York Auto Show and I absolutely love it. I get a rush of excitement seeing what's new in the automotive world. I did, however, switch things up a bit. After almost 10 years, I'm getting back into shooting video. If you follow me on Instagram (@CarShowBernie just in case), I posted some 15 second teasers of some of cars from the show...
Camp Jeep is the ultimate off-road driving test. The 20,000 square foot space gives auto show attendees a chance to experience the extreme off-road capabilities of Jeep vehicles without leaving the auto show. At this year’s New York Auto Show, Camp Jeep made its 12 appearance.
Over 15 trailers of freight and organic landscape materials are used to create the Camp Jeep track. The course is comprised of several obstacles that stimulate some of the rigorous testing that Jeep vehicles endure before consumers get behind the wheel. This provides them with a first hand look at the capability standards of Jeep vehicles for Ground Clearance (5+ foot staircase), Traction (18-foot high, 35 degree mountain), Stability, Articulation (30 degree wedge), Breakover (25 degree uneven plane until one wheel loses contact with the surface), Off-Camber, and Suspension.
To give you an idea of the Camp Jeep experience, I actually filmed the entire course while in a Jeep Wrangler…
Since 2004, over 275,000 NYIAS attendees have experienced Camp Jeep and more than 1.6 million guests have experienced Camp Jeep across 100 events in the United States. Definitely check out the Camp Jeep experience, you will not regret it.
January 3rd was the first Caffeine and Octane of 2016. After an unseasonably warm December, this particular morning was a bit cold, but temperature didn't slow down the crowd at all. Held at Atlanta's Perimeter Mall, this is Atlanta most dependable car show.
Whether if you adore staring at a Bentley Continental GTC or you want to enjoy a classic Plymouth Surburban, Caffeine and Octane is literally an early morning, outdoor automotive museum.
First of all, Happy New Year everyone!!!! On December 27th, 2015, Butler Tire teamed up with Vossen Wheels and hosted their last meet up of 2015. Held at the Andretti Gokarttng in Marietta, GA, a mixture of luxury, import, and sports cars showed up to this event.
A lot of gorgeous vehicles did show up, like the Porsche 911 Carrera S and Mercedes Benz S550 Coupe above, as well as some Ford Mustangs, BMW M3s, Nissan GTR, Chevy Camaros, and some slammed vehicles. There's more photos in Bernie's Butler Tire and Vossen Wheels Meetup gallery and I'm looking forward to what 2016 brings. Stay tuned...
