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 [...]

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 [...]

Road Kings Charity Car Show is rolling into Burbank for 2026!

With a limited car count, the lineup is meant to feel curated by default, plenty of space to walk, strong photo angles, and a steady pace that [...]

Wings ‘N Wheels Cars And Coffee – whoa, we love it! This show has some killer cars in an awesome location.  And the airplanes seen about the meet is added benefit. Plus the airplanes taking off during the car show is equally cool. But, the only thing better than killer cars to check out is this.  Being able to do so with able space around! Why is that you might ask?  Simple, pictures.  [...]

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 [...]

Hot Rods at the Beach, in SoCal, is in Seal Beach.  So don’t confuse it with the one in Santa Cruz.

Rancho Palos Verdes Cars And Coffee events are happening weekly, right off Western Avenue. And this is old-school C&C because there isn’t an organizer or organization running the gatherings.  Just some diehard car guys routinely gathering in a parking lot with coffee in hand every Sunday morning.
