Car Show Coverage: Caffeine and Octane 6/13

Image
All over the country on first Sunday morning of every month, there's a car meetup. The name of the meetup always have to do with vehicles and coffee. In Atlanta, it's called Caffeine and Octane, and for the first time ever, I actually woke up in time to attend the show. I had no clue what I was in for, and the festivities takes place 15 minutes north of my house in Alpharetta. I wished I would have arrived closer to the beginning of the meetup (a la 8:00 am or before), but at least I made it. Here's some pics, there would have been more if I didn't arrive an hour before it formally ended.  Cute doggie Some exotic eye candy My personal eye candy... but not in that color.

The Battle of the Matte Red Range Rovers: Ultimate Auto and Platinum Motorsports

Image
Two great customization shops released photos of matte red Range Rovers. Both Ultimate Auto and Platinum Motorsports started off with a blank canvas: a 2013 Range Rover. Both did follow the same style, although they both used different shades of red, they used a matte finish and left the top half of the vehicle black. The end result.... I'll let you guys decide. First up. From Orlando, Florida, we have Ultimate Auto and their cranberry red Range. This Range has been dipped in custom BASF Glasurit matte red paint with gloss red accents. The gloss black roof and accent trim break up the red and give it a nice two tone. And in this corner, from Los Angeles, California, we have Platinum Motorsports and their Rosso Corsa Range. This Range has been dipped in custom Rosso Corsa (Ferrari Red... or at least it looks like it) paint with gloss black accents. The gloss black roof and black accent trim break up the red and give it a nice two tone. Soooo.....

Forgiato Wheels Shows off another Maserati

Image
... but this one isn't a widebodied, and it's a Gran Turismo. Anyway, Forgiato Wheels released more photos of another Maserati. This White Gran Turismo is sitting on their new GTR-ECL wheels finished with a brushed center and a chrome lip... 22s in the front and 24s in the back. These wheels look great. I want some... but they wouldn't look right on a truck.
