LHHS Football Boosters Car & Bike Show is rolling in with a school-spirit mix of chrome, two wheels, and summertime car-show energy. This one has a bright, open feel, with all makes and models welcome and enough variety on the flyer to suggest a lineup that could move from classic cars and lowriders to hot rods, bikes, customs, trucks, and weekend cruisers. It does not come across like a tightly [...]

Set in San Bernardino County’s city of Upland, the event takes place at the well-known Farmer Boys on Foothill Boulevard. Expect to see a wide variety of vehicles, from classic [...]

South OC Cars And Coffee events were started sometime after the legendary Irvine events were shut down.  And this one definitely filled an unmet need. Because it quickly out-grew the original location and now hosts between 500 and 600 cars weekly.  And if your vehicle has wheels and a motor, it sounds like it’s welcome here. Common sights include supers, hypers, muscle, classics, rods, trucks, [...]

Tacos and Tailpipes is rolling into San Diego for 2026 with a one-day mix of bombs, kustoms, lowriders, choppers, and underground-style car culture.

Evening Gearhead Rendezvous Car Meets roll monthly in San Diego County, California. Happening on the third Saturdays. Hosting the fun is the San Diego Mustang Club. So although its an informal gathering, you know it's fine tuned with that group behind it. In fact, the Gearheads are getting together for another monthly [...]

Underoath Cruise Night is hosted by the car club bearing the same name. And like almost every car meet the group is welcoming, friendly, and, pretty serious about their car lives.  Because when I swung by the weather could have been better.  In fact, it was drizzling a bit. So, I thought that the meeting might not have been happening.  But, that wasn’t the case.  Not only were there cars and [...]

Saturday Night CarZ is rolling monthly in Southern California. The car meet is happening in San Bernardino County’s Chino Hills.  And to be exact it’s at The Shoppes at Chino Hills.

From slammed imports and lifted trucks to clean daily drivers and wild custom projects, the meet welcomes anyone who shares a love for cars. With its relaxed “park and chill” [...]

Classic Cars And Coffee in Northridge is a solid purist event. Specifically, I’m referencing two things; unlimited coffee refills courtesy of Western Bagel and, no daily drivers.  At least none that I noticed in the official line-up.  In fact, the group prefers pre-1980 classic cars. So all the cars there were project cars.  As expected, many of them were in various states of progress.  But [...]

San Diego Automotive Museum Cars & Coffee is happening every third Sunday of the month! Attendees can expect a fun-filled morning of car culture, with up to 200 cars gathering in the parking lot just outside the museum.

Cars and Coffee Chino Hills is a super-casual and relaxed event.  Taking place every Sunday it features a mix of muscle, hot rods, customs, antiques, and, newer vehicles. Anything and everything is welcome and on display.  And it doesn’t matter if the car is finished and perfect or a project in the works. Because I noticed a few for sale signs on the cars there too.  Automotive chit-chat is [...]

You’ll see a lot more than Ferraris, Lamborghinis, and McLarens when you hit the Supercar Sunday Car Show. Because surprisingly, when I stopped by in late March, I spotted only one of those exotic cars. In fact, I saw far more muscle cars, antiques, hot rods, lowriders, and ‘other’ vehicles at this weekly cars and coffee meet. That said, Supercar Sunday is a super-cool weekly car show that’s [...]

Cars and Coffee Villa Park is another intimate event with a great mix of vehicles and a super-friendly crowd. Everyone and every vehicle are welcome.  Rods, customs, exotics, muscle – all genres are represented.  There was even a 1956 BMW Isetta.  You know, those odd 3-wheelers with a single door in the front of the vehicle that opens. Plus the location is great.  Because it takes place at a [...]

Sunday Funday Cars And Coffee events are rolling every… guess what day of the week? :0) San Diego County’s Chula Vista is the location.  And Yum Yum Donuts is the exact spot. Some of the same car guys from Bonita Cars And Coffee [https://www.idrivesocal.com/event/bonita-cars-and-coffee/all/] are having fun with this weekly car meet too. It sounds like there’s some deal-making happening at [...]

Antique Adventures Classic Car Cruise is a cars and coffee event that takes place every Sunday morning. And it’s a smaller, more intimate gathering.  But it’s conveniently just off the CA-101 highway in Ventura.  So if you’re coming from the Los Angeles area it’s a great opportunity for a scenic drive up Pacific Coast Highway. Plus what’s better yet is that if you target your arrival time on [...]

Hot Cakes And Hot Rods Cars And Coffee takes place at the Glory Days Sports Grill. And to be clear, this particular Glory Days Sports Grill is in Lakewood, California.  So be careful not to confuse it with the other Glory Days that’s in Seal Beach which also has a weekly C&C event [https://www.idrivesocal.com/event/hot-rods-at-the-beach/all/]. (Also, a good one.) I’ve been by this event a few [...]
