Cars and coffee in Gallatin. Then the back roads.
First Saturdays are Cars & Coffee. The doors open at 8 and the coffee is already on. Third Thursdays, the hoods go up. When the sky cooperates, the cars go out to find a long lunch.
The Collective is a private storage club in Gallatin, Tennessee. The calendar is how you get to know the room.

Open mornings and members’ events, twelve months out. Tap a day for the details, then add it to your own calendar.
Doors at 8. Donuts until Wayne eats them.
Cars & Coffee is the one morning a month the floor belongs to everyone. Pull in, pour a cup, and take a slow lap. The people who keep the place are around to talk. Bring the family and stay a while.
You don’t have to be a member. You don’t have to bring a car either, though nobody will mind if you do. Coffee, pastries, and a curated row of classic and exotic automobiles.
It’s the easiest way to see the room before you decide anything. Walk the floor, sit in the lounge, and meet the people who’ll know your car by name. Request an invitation when you’re ready. We’ll set up a proper weekday tour.
Hoods up, lifts free
Members’ night. Hoods up, lifts free, coffee on at 7. Bring the project you’ve been putting off, or just bring the questions. The people who keep the floor are there, and so is everyone else’s car.
It runs like the best garage you ever hung around in. Somebody is chasing a rattle, somebody is arguing about oil, and somebody has a chair turned toward the floor. Wayne keeps the floor and Johnathon keeps the details. Ask one question about carburetors and cancel your evening.
Garage Night comes with The Club tier and up; see membership for each tier. Meet the people who’ll be under the hood.
Back roads and long lunches
The cars need driving. So do the people. Drive Days go out when the forecast agrees: back roads to Bledsoe Creek, at a pace that suits whatever you brought. The lunch is long.
Call ahead and your car is warmed up, tires set, waiting at the door when you arrive. That’s the in-and-out concierge on any day, and it earns its keep on this one. The rest is on the privileges page.
Routes depend on the weather, so Drive Days post to the live schedule as they’re called. Bring the car that deserves the miles.
