Cruise The Rogue

10/17/2026

Behind the scenes of Cruise the Rogue, our four-day car weekend in downtown Grants Pass.

It opened with a 100-person long-table dinner on Fifth Street. Guests sat across from one another with no seating charts, and local restaurants, wineries, and breweries supplied the meal. On Friday, G Street was closed to show about 124 cars. Saturday brought Cars & Coffee, a Poker Run through seven local vineyards, a car show with 321 cars at the park, and the Saturday night cruise with 471 registered cars plus more than 100 others.

Thank you to our sponsors, Lithia and Evergreen Bank, and to every local business that made it happen.

Getting highlighted in the Blog of the one and only Keith Martin & Sports Car Market Place

Nothing beats a road trip in a sports car with good friends, good music, and a destination full of fellow enthusiasts.

This week, Keith Martin heads to Grants Pass, Oregon, for Cruise the Rogue—a four-day celebration of car culture featuring everything from classics and muscle cars to exotics, imports, trucks, and motorcycles. Along the way, the SCM fleet's 2005 Porsche 911 C4S finally gets the road trip it's been waiting for.

From In-N-Out stops to small-town car culture, this is the start of an adventure that reminds us why we love the collector-car hobby.

Read Part 1 of Keith's latest blog, and stay tuned for the rest of the journey next week! 🚗💨

Catch Coffee Walk with Dennis Collins here on Youtube

07/31/2026

☕ When Dennis Collins takes his Coffee Walk through your town, you know something special happened.

Dennis Collins just dropped a 36-minute Coffee Walk from right here in Grants Pass — and it's everything we hoped people would feel about this place. The cars. The community. The Rogue Valley. He captured what it's actually like to live here, and why so many of you show up the way you do.

Dennis — thank you for being our guest, and for sharing our town with the world the way you did. It meant more to us than you know.

And to everyone who rolled out, brought your build, and represented this community all weekend: this is why we do it. The energy on the street, the pride in every ride, the people who make Grants Pass what it is — Dennis saw all of it, because you brought it.

Give it a watch. Share it. Let's show him what Southern Oregon hospitality looks like. 👇

🏁 BEST CLASSIC MUSCLE — Chris Huie's 1968 Dodge Charger R/T

Twenty-six years. One owner. Built by hand. And now it's got the hardware to prove it.

Chris Huie's 1968 Charger R/T isn't a weekend acquisition — it's a quarter-century relationship. Chris has owned this car for 26 years and done most of the work himself, turning it into exactly what a Charger R/T was always meant to be: loud, fast, and impossible to ignore.

Under the hood sits a 440 with a Six Pack putting out roughly 500 horsepower. Behind it, the highly sought-after 18-spline Hemi four-speed transmission. Out back, a Dana 60 rear end puts the power down. That's not a show-car drivetrain — that's a go-anywhere, light-'em-up combination that Mopar guys dream about.

In Chris's words: very fun to drive.

He brought it up from Medford, and when a field this deep gives you Best Classic Muscle, it's because the car earned it the hard way — You heard it before you saw it. That was the one.

Congratulations, Chris. Where Every Build Belongs — and where the real ones get their due.

🏆 BUILT NOT BOUGHT — Sierra's 1934 Ford Sedan

What's worth more: the car you bought, or the one you built with your own two hands? 👇 Sierra just settled that argument.

A year ago, this car was almost gone. A high-end build from the late '80s with real bones — and three decades of nobody touching it. The kind of car that slips, one owner at a time, from "someone's pride" toward "someone's project that never happens." It rolled across the Hot August Nights auction block already halfway to rat rod.

He saw the other version of it. Bought it that night, checked it out on the spot, and cruised the gut in Reno with his wife and kid in the back before the deal was even cold. It happened to be their anniversary. So he handed her the car.

And then he did the thing most builders can't — he got out of the way. She took the lead. She did the bodywork. She picked every color on it. She laid the primer herself. He was there swinging wrenches beside her, but this became her build, and she ran it.

The night before their first show, they were still bolting the seats in. She took it out anyway. She won Best of Show.

Underneath the paint it's the real deal — an all-steel '34 still riding its original boxed X-frame, with a chrome Jaguar rear end, a small-block backed by a Turbo 350, tilt column, A/C, and power windows. A proper street rod built at a kitchen-table pace, by hand, by family.

This July, being Grants Pass locals, they barely had to point it in the right direction to get here. And Sierra took home Built Not Bought — the one plate you can't buy your way into.

Congratulations, Sierra. This is exactly what Where Every Build Belongs was built to mean.
