When we first started doing Cars and Coffee meets on Karmar Court in New Albany, ESOTERIC was only using about half the building, and our meets were much smaller than they are today.

Fast forward to Season 13, ESOTERIC is bursting at the seams with projects doing detailing, paint protection film, ceramic coating, wheels and exhaust systems, and much more, and our meets have grown to a point where we take over the entire business park where their shop is located.

Thanks to Todd Cooperider, Zack Campbell, Dan Roth, and the rest of the ESOTERIC family for their hospitality!

Our second annual event in Lewis Center, Horsepower at Evans Farm, returns September 18. Thanks to Evans Farm and Pure Equity Group for making this event possible for a second year!
​
The car show is by registration only. A committee will select a diverse group of cars, ranging from classics to exotics, and will notify registrants in mid-late August if they have been selected.

There is no cost to enter a car and admission to the event is free as well.

We were blown away by the turnout on Saturday, July 24 for our first-ever meet at Midwestern Auto Group in Dublin! 

The combination of perfect weather, a large, scenic campus, and hundreds of gorgeous cars created one of the best meets we've had in years, and we couldn't have done it without our hosts at MAG. Thanks to Giovanni, Tim, Spencer, and the rest of the MAG team for all they did!

We will return to this location a couple more times this season, on September 25 and October 16.

Stay tuned to our Instagram page for more photos from the day.

We have received an incredible number of requests for updates about Exotics on Scioto Mile.

Normally, the event takes place this coming weekend, and we were hopeful that we could bring it back this year after missing 2020 due to COVID.

This event requires substantial planning, including coordination with car owners, street closures and permits from the City, food trucks, Milestone 229, police/security, volunteers, sponsors and partners, etc. We usually begin this process 3-4 months prior to the event, but that wasn't possible this time since nobody knew if/when events would be allowed this year.

As a result, we're rallying around returning to the bridge in June 2022, but we will not be doing the event this year. We're disappointed, but we would not do this event without first doing the prep work to make it a great, safe, fun experience.

We are also building an all-new classics / collectible car show in homage to the recently discontinued Rally for The Ranch event. We will announce those plans ASAP.
​
Thank you for your passionate support for Exotics on Scioto Mile. We love it too, and we can't wait to do it again.

You can see the rest of our schedule here.

We want to thank the entire team at Cherry Valley Hotel for making it possible to host a Cars and Coffee meet at their fantastic facility!

Although the weather did not cooperate, we made use of the indoor event center to keep the party going, and the results were a fun Saturday morning of cars, coffee, and community as we supported Make-A-Wish Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana.

Our special guest from Make-A-Wish, Patrick, selected two of his favorite cars for special honors, a highlight of the day!

The Fort Wayne Driving Club made an impressive entrance into our June 5th "Mega Meet" at 3 Easton Oval! 

Over 100 cars left Fort Wayne early in the morning for a multi-hour cruise to Columbus, all to join us for a beautiful morning of Cars and Coffee.

Thank you to Jared Lencke from Fort Wayne Driving Club for his effort in putting the plan together, as well as Brad Kitchen for hosting us at 3 Easton Oval again!

We have a special guest coming to our June 5 meet! Well, actually over 100 special guests, as a convoy of 100+ cars will be driving to Columbus from Fort Wayne, Indiana to create our first-ever Mega Meet!

Thanks to Jared Lencke of the Fort Wayne Driving Club for working with us to put this great day together. We'll announce more details soon, stay tuned!

Thanks to Adam Koos from Libertas Wealth Management, we were able to take a group of racing fans up to the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course for the IMSA race over the weekend!

The morning started with coffee, bagels, and registration at Adam's office in Upper Arlington, followed by a spirited drive up to the track. We were able to park together in the infield a short walk from our hospitality area; the Mid-Ohio Deck!

The Deck has fantastic elevated views of the "Esses," a pair of corners where a lot of the best racing action takes place at Mid-Ohio. 

The MX5 Cup series ran first, followed by a catered lunch and included bar, and culminating with the main event, the Acura Sports Car Challenge.

Thanks to everyone who joined us. We expect to take a much bigger group next year since gathering restrictions will be fully lifted!

We're thrilled to welcome Cherry Valley Hotel as our newest partner for Season 13! 

Cherry Valley Hotel is a stunning boutique hotel and event center located in Newark, just half an hour from Columbus, and we can't wait to host exciting new events there, starting with our meet on June 19th.

The hotel is located near excellent driving routes so we'll be spending more time there as the season progresses.

ESOTERIC always hosts a great meet and today was no exception! Thanks to Todd, Zack, Dan, and the rest of their team for opening their doors for a chilly Saturday morning meet.
