I haven’t been to the Car Show on Eastern since 2010, when it was Cars and Coffee. I haven’t been to the Shelby Museum’s Cars and Coffee yet. I know they also have Gears and Grind on Sunday’s (sometimes). I even heard that Royalty Exotics does a car show. The issue with some of these shows is generally low turnout and the cars are mostly American and classics. I am down to go to any of these or just a BMW only meet.
Iam free weekends I've been to a couple of car meets but always end up leaving shortly after due to there's never any M's there

That’s usually me. I love M cars, or at least anything German/ Italian. Do they still do M Fest out here? I went to it back in 2008. Lol!

It was in 2008 at least. I know binmerfest is always in California. I wish they would do something here, considering Las Vegas is more modification friendly than California, especially after Jan. 1.

There is always some sort of car meet going on every weekend. The hard part is knowing which one:

Car Show on Eastern: Every Saturday morning. Nice mix, lots of classics show here.

Cars and Coffee : Every Saturday morning (Alive again Shelby American)

Espresso and Exotics: Every second Sunday (Boca Park)

Cars und Kaffee: The last Sunday of every month (Vesta Roasters) Mainly Porsches (Very different meet, I know the guy that throws this one he's very cool)

Gears and Grinds: First and Third Sunday of every month (Baguette Cafe) Small but nice mix of cars show to this meet

There are week night ones as well but I don't go to those ones as I am a daywalker and those are usually geared toward the tuner crowd: follow lasvegascarmeets, there is also EuroSquad, mainly BMWs but very Euro-centric.

Great! Thanks for the list! Probably looking for more of a daytime meet.

Let me know what your car looks like so I can keep an eye out for you. I'm always up for meeting new people.

You can find me all over the place, but I'm usually around Henderson as well. I'm pretty much Gjason99's twin. Just look for my plate

I like it. It's nice and linear. I had to reduce the boost 20% in first and second gear as I'd be spinning the wheels otherwise.

I actually liked stage 1 the best, but I chickened out due to fear of the SCH issue. That tune is no joke. They even have a better ACN version now for our crappy gas that they didn't have when I got my map.

They also have maps configured for those of us with no engine mods, so you're covered.

The beauty with BM3 is that you can play with all of the maps and decide for yourself.

Yes, you'll want the ACN (Arizona, California, Nevada) map. It's for our crappy 91 octane gas apparently.

E85 is hard to find out here.

Is this one downtown? I may have sometime to come over for this. I’m still trying to figure out my schedule.
