Are you ready for a thrilling car show adventure in Culver City? Well, get your engines revving because I’ve got the inside scoop on an epic event that will leave you wanting more. It’s Caffeine and Classics at The Container Yard in the Arts District of LA, and it’s not one to be missed!
A Morning of Excitement
Early mornings may not always be the most enticing, but trust me, this is one worth waking up for. As I made my way to The Container Yard, I couldn’t help but feel a rush of excitement. The stunning murals and cool old buildings set the stage for an incredible day of car enthusiasts and captivating visuals.
Meeting the Car Community
Upon arrival, I was greeted by familiar faces and new friends. The Lincoln Car Club, known as The Rattys, was there in full force, along with other enthusiasts like my buddy Wade from Nosed and Decked and Chris Mageno from Mageno Customs. The talented photographer Mitzi was also there, adding her artistic touch to the event.
But enough talk about who was there; let’s dive into the main attraction— the cars!
A Car Lover’s Paradise
Caffeine and Classics did not disappoint. Jesse and his crew did an exceptional job organizing the show, with an impressive display of cars that left me in awe. From classic beauties to sleek modern machines, the variety was astounding. And amidst the crowd, I spotted the lovely pin-up model, Cat, who was there to shoot with Mitzi. It was a delightful surprise to see her again.
One highlight of the event was my encounter with my friend Jason, who recently opened Chemical Guys in Culver City. He had retired from his previous job but couldn’t stay away from his passion for cars, so he embarked on this new venture. He kindly gifted me a shirt, showcasing the top-notch quality of products available at Chemical Guys.
Mark Your Calendars
If you’re yearning for more car-themed fun, you’re in luck. Chemical Guys hosts a cool cruise-in event at their Culver City location every last Sunday of the month. It’s an opportunity to mingle with fellow car enthusiasts and admire the impressive array of detailing products they offer. Trust me; it’s an experience you don’t want to miss!
The Magic of Caffeine and Classics
As a photographer and videographer, certain events hold a special place in my heart. Caffeine and Classics is undoubtedly one of them. The combination of magnificent murals and incredible cars creates an ambiance that words can’t fully capture. But don’t worry, I’ve documented the day through photos and videos.

A Reunion with Friends
Perhaps the most cherished aspect of car shows is the opportunity to reconnect with friends. The Rattys, with their fleet of impressive Lincolns, made quite an impression. Rusty, Roberto, Will, Amber, and the rest of the crew brought their A-game, showcasing their love for cars and the joy they find in every event. It’s moments like these that make car shows truly special.
Embracing the Car Community
The past year has been challenging, with limited opportunities to attend car shows and spend time with fellow enthusiasts. That’s why I’m grateful for events like Caffeine and Classics, where we can come together once again, share our love for cars, and create lasting memories. The car community is more than just a group of people; it’s a family that supports and uplifts one another.
So, gear up and get ready for the next adventure! Stay tuned for updates on upcoming events from Jesse and the Caffeine and Classics team—trust me; you won’t want to miss what they have in store.
