2017 Cars and Cigars event to support the Make a Wish Foundation!

April 3, 2017 Banner, Events

The Full Octane Garage was enlisted to help contact exotic and classic car owners who were willing to show their cars at the Cars and Cigars event to support the Make a Wish Foundation!

Music City Motorcars, Velocity Motorcars and Enterprise Exotic Rental Cars, along with a few individuals such as ourselves, braved the weather in support of the cause. Also in attendance were many of Nashville’s finest restaurants and vendors of wine, whisky, beer and cigars! The weather held off and it turned out to be a great event!
