This is a community car meet — no more than just a bunch of people with nice cars who want to hang out for a couple of hours.
Expect an unforgettable night of car culture — from Euros to JDM to American muscle and everything in between.
🚫 Strictly no revving, burnouts, or reckless driving. Let’s keep it safe, respectful, and enjoyable for everyone.
This one’s special. We’re celebrating with the community that makes it all possible, and we want everyone there.
Bring your ride. Bring your crew. Let’s make this a night to remember.
👉 New Addition:
Quite a few of you asked what’s happening after the meet. At around 8:30PM, we’ll be cruising out to Mobil Quay Street — the iconic spot. Perfect chance to hang out, grab some food, and keep the night going. For anyone staying past 9PM, just shift your car over one gate before we roll out.
