Here are article -Bernie's Car Show Coverage: Caffeine and Exotics: October 2014...

On October 19th, Atlanta held it's fourth Caffeine and Exotics in the Buckhead section of the city. This month's show had a pair of special guests. Not one, but two Lamborghini green Huracans arrived at the show. I felt cheated because the Huracans didn't debut at the New York Auto Show, so I had to wait until they debuted everywhere else and then it found its way to Atlanta... I'm slightly spoiled.

Once I walked around, I was able to find out some more inside news. Basically, they're expanding the galleries- going from less than 10 galleries to having the ability to hold over 20, open floor plan, but... the more permanent cars will be in glass display cases.  So it won't be nearly as intimate as it is-- well I should say-- was. I'm interested to see what it'll look like- interior wise. Inside the museum, there's a 2-D and a 3-D rendering of what the exterior of the new museum will look like. As we all k

Here are article -Top 20 Automotive Photos Based off of Nick Diamond's Instagram Page

This photo is actually from Kevin Wong's Instagram Page . Great shot so I had to use it. Off of the strength of the DJ Envy post I created awhile back, I decided to create another one like it, but with another serious car enuthusiast. Presenting San Francisco bred Nicholas Tershay, but more commonly known to the world as Nick Diamond, owner of Diamond Supply Company . When he's not being the creative force behind the Diamond Life Brand, or running two Diamond Supply Stores in Los Angeles and San Francisco, or overseeing the creation of the third store in the SoHo section of Manhattan, NY, or actively feeding his passion for skateboarding, or collaborating on his second line- the Grizzly Griptape, which is an outdoor line, he's showing off another passion... his love for cars. At the time of this post, Nick had about 5,900 photos on his Instagram page ( @NickyDiamonds ). Judging by the posts on  his page, within one year- he acquired a few cars (two of which were Rolls Royc
