Roll Call: May 8–11
Cars & Coffee and Everything Else
Welcome to Roll Call, your one-stop cheat sheet for every Cars & Coffee meetup, canyon run, track day, and auto swap-meet between San Diego’s sunrise and Santa Barbara’s moonlight. We spend our nights combing club calendars, dusty forums, and flyer-strewn dashboards so you can spend your days doing the fun part: driving. Whether you wrench, show, race, or just hang out for the smell of toasty brakes, consider this your ignition key to the week ahead. Spot a mistake? Let us know!
One last thing before you set the alarm and top off the tank: let’s keep the neighbors on our side. Roll in and out with respect, pick up after yourself, and save the smoky launches for a proper track-day. The more chill we keep it, the longer these meets stay on the map. Thanks, and see you out there! 🏁
