Caffeine & Octane - The Biggest Vehicle Event in Georgia

C&O was started about nine years about at a Panera Bread in Marietta, Ga and has outgrown a number of locations, steadily growing over the years to a new record set at Perimeter Mall in Dunwoody, GA last Sunday at an estimated 2500 vehicles!  It is now owned by the third owner, Bruce Piefke, who clearly has a handle on how to make it better and better.  Over the years, the numbers have intimated some of the owners of the older more classic cars, yet there still is a highly respectable…

Flat Sex: Porsche 911 Reimagined by Singer (Rob Dickinson)

This article in Road and Track celebrates a man I really enjoyed meeting in Las Vegas at the SEMA convention last year. He was easy going, open and down right chatty, not like many to of the self involved elitists that seem to set up at conventions. So many company leaders seem to put paid staff out front and keep out of the way of press and the general enthusiasts and buyers. But not Rob Dickinson!
