A friend and his dad rent a warehouse-type building for their personal workspace. Each October they host a little get-together: invite friends, fire up the grille and, ta-da, instant party.
The big debate is what to drive over in. Last year I took the wagon. I'm thinking that I'll bring the Porsche this year.
So, basically, what an easy way to put together a memorable event. Anyone else doing things like this?

Mark Stielow famously has his "car party" each year. I have a friend at GM who has gone. From what I gather it is memorable for the caliber of cars that show up at some guy's house. The yard is packed and the streets are lined.
I came up with a concept of a group taking turns hosting a car themed movie night at their shops. I never got traction because I couldn't find enough people interested in both hosting, and keeping it a bit exclusive (ie. you must have a garage/shop). I pointed out that it didn't have to be your shop that it was hosted in, but it didn't help.
My dads shop is right next to a baseball stadium in Richmond so every 4th of july we always have a car show in the parking lot with a food truck and some bands and watch the fireworks feom the stadium
I have such gatherings twice a year in my backyard. Grill, burgers and lots of car talk. Anyone can drive in anything they want (even a cab) but people tend to bring their special cars for the occasion and as someone said the driveway and street is lined up.
How did the party go?
Our local British car Club does a progressive dinner every year near Christmas. Appetizer at one house /shop, main course at another, and dessert/snacks at the last. If you're in an Italian car Club this could last all week...
