LAKE FOREST—Traditional Cars and Coffee meets might be in trouble, local car enthusiast Miguel Reyes has introduced a new event that caters to those who prefer a slower start to their day. Dubbed "Snooze Import Nights," Reyes' initiative swaps the early morning hustle for a laid-back evening experience centered around decaf coffee and cars.

Reyes, who found himself increasingly tired of the early morning meetups, decided it was time for a change. “I love cars and coffee, but why does it have to be at the butt crack of dawn?” Reyes said. “I thought it was time shift the meets to the evening and serve decaf. That way, everyone can still get to bed at a decent hour"

Snooze Import Nights, held every Saturday evening, has quickly gained popularity among car enthusiasts who share Reyes' age group. Attendees can enjoy a selection of decaf brews while admiring a diverse lineup of domestics and imports. “It’s a great way to unwind after sleeping in,” said attendee Sofia Martínez. “You get to see amazing cars and chat with fellow enthusiasts without snapping on them because you woke up at 4am to be there.”

The meet is a more laid-back atmosphere compared to the early morning psychos. “Miguel’s idea is brilliant,” commented local mechanic and car lover Diego López. “The vibe is perfect for those of us who want to be home by 8:00pm but in bed by 2:00am.”

Snooze Import Nights represents a new chapter in car culture, proving that passion for cars and coffee can thrive, especially when the early morning alarm is replaced with something less annoying.
