Caffeine and Octane Car Show

This is certainly a great car show to come to once. It starts way early in the morning. If you have a car you want on «display,» you’ll need to get there pretty early to reserve a good spot (7 am or so). There’s no registration or fees — just show up and park. There’s lot of variety, and some rare cars you may not see elsewhere.
Get some coffee and head over for the 1^st Sunday morning of the month!

Great event, extremely well executed. A lot of fun each month.

Worth the trip…1^st Sunday morning of each month at Perimeter mall facing Ashford Dunwoody road. No need to register your vehicle… just come early to get a good spot. Everyone is friendly. See cars you haven’t seen before. Meet new people :)

Holy testosterone, Batman! This car show knocked my socks off.
My fiancé and I have a friend with a souped up RX7, and he’s been showing it off at Caffeine & Octane for a while now, but when the most recent showing came around, we finally decided to go, and boy, what a show it was!
Caffeine & Octane takes place the first Sunday of the month, and it recently moved to the Perimeter Mall parking lot. It’s a chance for hot rods, classic cars and pretty much anything else that wants to to show up and show off.
To say I saw things I’ve never seen before (and may never see again), is an understatement. We arrived right around 8 AM when the show starts and the parking lot was already over half full with cars, car clubs, bikes, bike clubs and gawkers (like myself).
Once we met up with our friends, we all started walking, with the guys periodically stopping to peer at an extra big engine, an extra rare car, an extra shiny hot rod or an immaculate, extra old classic.
One of the most surprising finds to me was a bunch of Cadillacs that had not only been turned into some of the meanest racers I’ve ever seen, but had also had their onboard computers altered so they idled rough (unlike anything you’d normally hear from a fuel-​injected car) — sounding even meaner. Along with that, we saw Porsches of every era, lots of Corvettes, 370Zs, Lambos, a Maclaren or two and more after market parts and upgrades than you’d see at even the most deluxe auto shop.
In short, it was any guy’s wet dream. For me, not knowing a damn thing about what goes on under the hood of a car, but still appreciating the aesthetics of the especially expensive cars, I enjoyed myself until the heat started to get to me around 10:30.
Overall, I’m really glad we got to do this, but unlike my fiancé who’s jazzed to go back to every upcoming car show, I think I’ll space my visits a little more according to the weather.

I’m so looking forward to going to this show I’ve went to shows in the past and all of them were good I have a bmw m3 and this will be the first time my car will be in the show

Its the best show ever. People is nice and us as a car club (house of diamonds) will keep supporting this great show and event. Keep up the good work…

This is a twist on Cars and Coffee. I’m very happy we have it in the Atlanta area, but it lacks the community and organization of Cars and Coffee in other cities. That being said, if you like cars pr bikes definitely go the first Sunday of every month. You’ll enjoy yourself and if the community grows the event would be better.

Certainly one of the better car shows in the Atlanta area and in Georgia as a whole. Hundreds of cars of all flavors were on display. While most car shows feature one theme or another — the most common being American muscle cars — Caffeine & Octane seems to attract the new and the old, with probably a higher proportion of new cars than you find find at other shows. Lots of new Mustangs, Challengers, 370Zs, parked alongside, well, everything.
I was particularly pleased to see a couple of nice Datsun Z cars.
Cars tend to start leaving at 10 AM, so get here early if you want to see them all. I did note that a few cars showed up late including a couple of new McLarens.

I was introduced to this interesting gem of a car show earlier this month. I was impressed! I am not a huge car fan but my appreciation for them has grown as I’ve learned more about them. This car show allows you to view various types of vehicles from many different eras.
There are some vendor tents. We learned about the Car exhibit at the High Museum because of their tent and went to see it the next weekend!
Warning… Go early! A lot of the cars start leaving a little before noon.
Also DO NOT TOUCH THE CARS!

Great show the first Sunday of every month. You will see every kind of car or vehicle you can think of here.
