Arizona is home to some of the largest selection of exotic, muscle, JDM, off-road, and sports cars in the world! So it's safe to say that when car week comes to Phoenix there is a change in the air. It could be due to all the excess high octane fuel being burned into the atmosphere or the sudden urge to do 150+ on the freeway. Either way, no matter how you get your adrenaline fix, we're here for it and we're pumped!
Before anything car week related starts you HAVE to attend cars & coffee on High Street with Highline Autos because this is the one show that will have a preview of some of the best vehicles being showcased at Barrett Jackson. Here you can get super up close and personal with these vehicles and even sit inside them + hear them start up. This is not an event to sleep on if you happen to be in the area for car week. The king of cars & coffee in Phoenix AZ as there is no other show that can come close to the amount of quality cars you'll see.
This year we attended several events even though there were a plethora of other events to attend. The day jobs keep us busy so we have to be a little more selective. Regardless of the previously mentioned setback we still managed to capture some icons at various events! Starting out at Andreoli Italian Grocer for Espresso's and Engines which is a free to attend and free to show event that happens typically the 3rd Saturday of the month up through April. This is the new hot spot for cars & coffee gatherings as there is a coffee shop and plenty of places to get your grub on.
Of course we made it to Barrett Jackson! Who do you think we are a bunch of Mustang drivers? Just kidding Ford boys, God love ya! As you can see Barrett is alive and well showcasing tons of vehicles at the auction that happens every January to kick off the year. If you are a car nut who's heart races with a blip of the throttle, or you giggle like a little child anytime you hear a V12 at redline, or if petrol oozes from your pores then you just might like Barrett Jackson. There is literally something for everyone at this event even if you hate cars there is a huge tradeshow with tons of new products. If you've never been I urge you to go find $25 bucks to go or hell just ask one of the good people at the Barrett Jackson tent at Highline Autos cars & coffee and they will give you a free ticket!
Last, but not least we have Bagels and Bullshit at Otto Car Club in Scottsdale Arizona. This is a state of the art 2 story bespoke automotive storage facility with huge indoor space and outdoor garage areas to store your vehicles. A few things catch your attention here other than all the car eye candy. Their lobby is always extremely clean as well as their show floor which gives a glimpse into the professionalism that is taken in this facility. All the cars are always pristine and ready for the owner to take at a moments notice. Nearly everywhere you look has a modern or elegant design to it and everything just fits into place. If you are super well off this is definitely the place to store your car with their monthly members only events there's always something going on here.
