Hit the best meets without the headaches. Here’s how to plan your route, show up clean, and roll out fast—trailer or no trailer.
Typical weekly rhythms
Cars & Coffee (Mesa/Gilbert/Chandler): early Saturdays or Sundays, family-friendly, great lighting for photos. Expect tight lots—arrive early. Copper State Trailer Rentals will be a Sponsored Display Vendor at the https://www.mesacarsandcoffee.com/ and at https://garagedreamsme.com/ And of course, we will have Bugaru on display also – our 1965 Street Baja Bug with a 3.0. Liter EZ30 Flat Six pumping out 220hp – this thing might do wheelies.
Evening cruise-ins (Tempe/Scottsdale corridor): Saturdays, casual rotating lots. Bring chairs and a small trash bag.
Specialty meets: JDM, Euro, off-road, and track-prep nights—watch organizer IG for locations/etiquette.
Arrival game plan
Top off fuel before you park.
Keep revs and music respectful—some venues have strict noise rules.
If trailering, unload quickly, stow your rig out of the photo lines, and wipe your straps for a clean display.
Trailer or drive?
Trailer it if the car is low, freshly detailed, non-registered, or heat-sensitive.
Drive it for short, familiar routes with easy parking and no cooling concerns.
Photo-friendly details
Tire shine after you park (not at home), microfiber for fingerprints, and a small sign with your build sheet. Keep kids and pets in mind around hot exhaust.
Arrive early, park clean, leave no trace.
