Best of BMW CCA Pistons & Pastries

A relatively jam-packed July for automotive content continues with a first-of-its-kind meet hosted by my local BMW club and a unique local coffee shop I have previously heard about but never been to before this week. This latest meet was dubbed Pistons and Pastries, and it is an anomaly compared to most of the other car events I have been to within the past year in the fact that it took place on a Tuesday evening. Since Pistons and Pastries occurred on a Tuesday evening, I was not expecting anything of significance to come out of it besides checking out the spot and the cars rolling in for this meet. There were certainly more cars that showed up for Pistons and Pastries than I was anticipating for a Tuesday evening meet. Out of all the participating vehicles that I saw when I was there, only a handful of them were truly amazing and stood out to me the most, and these favorites of mine are featured in this compilation. In addition, while there were a few vehicles and some bikes that engaged in excessive revving for a few minutes before they left, unlike some other local evening car meets that I have heard about, Pistons and Pastries fortunately did not attract any unwanted attention from law enforcement. Overall, the first-ever local BMW CCA Pistons and Pastries was a good car meet, and I enjoyed seeing and photographing the one supercar and two flagship Mercedes-AMGs that appeared there the most that evening. Stay tuned for more new and exciting automotive content coming soon.

Best of PM Lounge Cars, Cigars, & Caviar (July 2026)

The second automotive event that I attended this past weekend was the second-ever PM Lounge Cars, Cigars, and Caviar. It took place about three months after the first PM Lounge Cars, Cigars, and Caviar event, featuring warmer weather and a similar selection but several different examples of vehicles on display. I enjoyed seeing the variety of supercars and high-end luxury vehicles on hand at the second PM Lounge car show, and it was certainly the better of the two automotive events I attended this past weekend based on vehicle selection alone. If I had to choose specific favorites, they would definitely be the row of V12-powered Lamborghinis, including one of only three Murcielago SVs in the world finished in Verde Ithaca green. In addition, some cool cars that looked like they could have been a part of this show were parked nearby, but none of those were as amazing or stood out to me as much as many of the supercars and ultra-luxury vehicles that were fully on display at the PM Lounge on Sunday.

Unlike the first car show held there approximately three months ago, I had stepped foot inside the PM Lounge for the first time in order to use the bathroom. It is worth noting that this particular lounge/bar/club is one of the fanciest and most upscale places I have ever stepped foot in, especially in my hometown. Featured here are the coolest and my favorite cars on display at the second automotive event ever held at the PM Lounge, with a heavy emphasis on true exotic supercars and ultra-luxury vehicles that I am less likely to find or see in most other places. This most recent Cars, Cigars, and Caviar was another great automotive display, and I am looking forward to the PM Lounge hosting more exotic car shows in the near future. Enjoy and stay tuned for more exciting new content coming soon.
