Members of the AutoMotorPlex™  are headed to North Carolina for the inaugural Pinehurst Concours d’Elegance happening May 3rd through 5th. This event will feature 118 of the most historic automobiles and motorcycles from around the world in addition to a RKM Collector Car Auction and road rally.

“There couldn’t be a more appropriate setting for this historic event than Pinehurst Resort, a true industry leader and trend setter in Southern hospitality. Fans can expect a real treat.” said Bob Ingram.

The event will also honor and give back to those stationed at Fort Bragg, home of the famed 82nd Airborne Division. Currently, there are more than 57,000 active military personnel and families in the Fort Bragg area, located a mere 40 minutes away from Pinehurst.

We will be posting photos from the events. Check back if you want to see what we are up to.

AutoMotorPlex Futuristic Garage

Great article titled “Where the Car Is King. Garages are becoming lavish palaces where homeowners can showcase prized collections and watch football while fixing their motorcycles” appeared in the Wall Street Journal today.  Not sure how they missed us, but we found many similarities.

The AutoMotorPlex™ garage condos have been built with many and more amenities that are mentioned in the article and video.  Each man caves is unique the owners specifications.  Examples include game rooms for card playing, wine cellars, granite bar tops, lifts, custom themed spaces and more.    Our owners make the space feel like their own Taj Mahal.

It only makes us feel that our spaces are the answer to increasing passion for automobiles.  We are very fortunate to be part of the community found at the AutoMotorPlex.  Sign up for our email newsletter, become our fan on Facebook or contact us directly to learn more.

April 8, 2013 By Leave a Comment

The kickoff to the 2013 season of the Midwest’s premier monthly automotive event known as MN C&C was a cold one at AutoMotorPlex™.    A number of the garage doors to the famous “man caves” or custom garage condos were open as a reprieve from brisk air.  Coffee from Morries Automotive Group and donut holes from Imola Motorsports sure hit the spot.  We are already looking forward to next month.

Rolex 24 At Daytona Photos

February 2, 2013 By Leave a Comment

On Saturday night after spending the day at Cavallino we headed over to Daytona International Speedway to check out the Rolex 24 at Daytona. This is known by most as the first major motorsports race on any calendar.

The field is made up of DP (Daytona Prototype), GT (Porsche 911, Corvette, Ferrari 458 and more), and the experimental GX category which are purpose built cars like the new diesel Mazda 6 or Porsche Caymen. Drivers ranged from former F1, NASCAR, LeMans, Rally, and even celebrities.

It’s really amazing to see in person. Dusk, the transition from day was the best part when the cars turn on the lights and the disappear into the dark. Check out the photos and share your thoughts?
