Season 15 was an incredible milestone for us and we couldn't have gotten here without the thousands of people who make the car community in Ohio so great. Thank you to our season sponsors for making this season possible. We operate entirely on sponsorship funds which keeps every meet we host free for the community to attend. Please support the people and companies which support us!

These people are the best there is: Josh Conison, Kyle Hennosy, Jacob Moore, Jahil Parker, Adrian Shellabarger, Sam Pacey, and Collin Thomas. We also received help from Kristen McEnery, Darcy Travis, Cameron Welsh, and Rachel Milligan, thank you! Our coffee partner, Backroom Coffee Roasters, kept us caffeinated throughout the season and, after all, coffee is right there in our name! Thanks to Trent and his team for their dedication to our schedule. You have seen his work daily on our Instagram account and we must shout out our official photographer, Mark Matheny. Mark's talents are obvious if you look at his work and we're proud to support him and showcase his photos every day. There are countless other individuals and groups which helped to make this season what it was; Meyer Shank Racing, the entire MAG team, Uptown Westerville, Polaris Fashion Place, the NRI and Arena District teams, the City of Columbus, the Municipal Light Plant, the City of Dublin, several police departments, and others. It takes an incredible amount of time and energy to put together each season and we appreciate all of their help. Season 16 will begin in April 2024, so until then, we'll be gazing longingly at our photos from this season and making regular visits to the garage to check on our favorite machines. One of the perks of having a great racing team right here in the city; we get to visit them once in awhile for a meet! Thanks to Mike Shank and the entire Meyer Shank Racing team for opening the doors of their HQ to us again today, for the second year in a row.
The array of exotic, classic, and race cars on display was stunning, in particular the nine Ford GTs! Season 15 is winding down in under a month, so don't miss our meet in Uptown Westerville coming Oct. 7 or the Season Finale at Midwestern Auto Group on Oct. 28! Season 15 is officially here! Midwestern Auto Group hosted an incredible morning on Saturday, April 29 for the first meet of the season.
The undisputed highlight was the McLaren Senna GTR displayed by the Ross Family. This 1-of-75 example looked and sounded incredible and we appreciate the opportunity to include it in our first meet! For more photos, check our Instagram account! The legendary Season Opener Party was a highlight of Seasons 2-9 and, after a six-year hiatus, returned for the ninth time to launch Season 15!
We couldn't believe our luck with the Municipal Light Plant, a relatively new venue in Columbus, combined with the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to close W. Nationwide Blvd for our parking area. Thanks to the City of Columbus for being great partners on this event! The evening was made even better by food from Cameron Mitchell Premier Events, music by DJ AXCESS, dance performances by WhirlWind Dance, a watch and jewelry display by Diamond Cellar, and a photo booth from Social Booth Columbus. Thanks again to our guests, sponsors, staff, and vendors for creating a night we will never forget! We have posted a photo album on our Facebook page, find your "step and repeat" photos there! The legendary Season Opener Party returns April 22 after a 5-year hiatus!

Welcome to a major milestone for Columbus Cars and Coffee®, our 15th season!
We have a packed schedule this year, including the return of two of our favorite events; the Columbus Auto Show and our legendary Season Opener Party! If you haven't attended a Season Opener Party before, this is our launch party for the new season, and we're celebrating in style on April 22 at the Municipal Light Plant, which you may recognize from the iconic yellow smokestack visible from across downtown. The venue is a completely renovated 120 year-old power plant, built in 1903 by the City of Columbus to power the earliest electric lights in our city. Fast forward 120 years, it will host a 350+ guest party to celebrate our incredible car community, and help us celebrate our 15th season! Tickets will become available March 11. After the Season Opener Party, our meets begin just one week later at the Midwestern Auto Group campus in Dublin on April 29, and continue throughout the year on the schedule posted here. We're honored to welcome back all of our Season 14 sponsors for Season 15! Midwestern Auto Group, ESOTERIC, Premier Bank, Di Lusso Real Estate, Libertas Wealth Management, and The Garage Door Guy have all been incredible in making these events possible and we owe them our gratitude and our support. You can look forward to seeing them throughout the season. In addition, we have a special returning sponsor, Mr. Bill Bishop and Associated Insurance Agencies! Bill and his team have been amazing supporters for us over many seasons and our insurance is managed by them as well. Please say thanks to Bill the next time you see him! Last, but certainly not least, we're excited to welcome three new sponsors; Resolute Motorsports Club, MIT45, and 7th Gear Exotics. Please join us in thanking them for their support and look for them at upcoming events! We can't wait to introduce you to them. Please review the schedule, mark your calendar, and we'll see you in two weeks at the Columbus Auto Show for an exclusive early access on March 18 at 9AM! To join us there, buy your tickets here using promo code "Season15," which unlocks a discount and gives you an hour of early access before doors open to the public, along with complimentary coffee! Season 14 has officially concluded and we couldn't have asked for a better day for our Season Finale!
The perfect weather meant Midwestern Auto Group was completely full of incredible cars, from a Ferrari Daytona and LaFerrari to muscle cars, classics, and everything in between. Thanks to Premier Bank, Libertas Wealth Management, Di Lusso Real Estate, ESOTERIC, and The Garage Door Guy for making it all possible! We truly could not have events like this without their support. Keep an eye on the Columbus Cars and Coffee website in February 2023 for Season 15 news and announcements. Until then, we'll just be staring at this photo... Mike Shank and his team at Meyer Shank Racing rolled out the red carpet for us to host a meet at their new headquarters in Pataskala and we can't thank them enough for their hospitality!
Highlights included their Indy 500 winning IndyCar, IMSA championship winning Daytona Prototype, Fernando Alonso's Formula 1 car from 2007, a pedigreed Porsche 962, a Porsche 918 Spyder, a Porsche Carrera GT, and an entire lineup of Ford GTs. Thanks to everyone who joined us in Pataskala, it was a meet we will never forget! The Columbus Cars and Coffee Season Finale is October 29, 2022 at Midwestern Auto Group! |
