There is a brand new automotive museum you can visit, but you have to make an appointment. The Formula Automotive Museum doesn’t have a huge collection of cars, but what they have on display is special.
Coming from a guy who started a museum with only one car, any more than one is better off than what I did. This museum looks like they have some beautiful exotics.
Speaking of exotics, I had an opportunity to drive a Ferrari 458 on Saturday when it left Miles Through Time Automotive Museum. I am a fan, and the sound the car produces would get me in a lot of trouble.
Unfortunately, that means the museum no longer has a supercar on display, which is not good. The hunt continues to add a supercar to the museum’s collection. They aren’t everyone’s cup of tea, but there are enough people who visit and experience joy from seeing one so close, that it is mandatory for me to add one.
Another museum which requires an appointment to visit is the Hajek Motorsports Museum. This museum doesn’t need any supercars, because they are all race cars. You do not have to be a race car fanatic to enjoy visiting museums like this.
The last museum I’ll mention this week is completely different from the first two, and it has the most genuine name you could ever imagine. The Vintage Car Museum is the creation of Tom & Therese Moncrief.
Like the Formula Automotive Museum, the Vintage Car Museum also doubles as an event center, which is an extremely popular money generator for all kinds of museums.
When you visit automotive museums, it is an opportunity to venture outside your normal interests and experiences. If you’re unfamiliar with supercars and exotics, check out Formula Automotive Museum. If you’re not that into racing, take a tour of Hajek Motorsports Museum. Vintage cars outside your normal interests? Check out Vintage Car Museum.
It goes without saying that if your interests are in line with the museum’s exhibits, you’ll definitely want to visit. There are so many different aspects of the automotive world, you can experience them all.
If you want to see more, visit the Weekly 3.

Georgia is a southeastern U.S. state whose terrain spans coastal beaches, farmland and mountains. Capital city Atlanta is home of the Georgia Aquarium and the Martin Luther King Jr. National Historic Site, dedicated to the African-American leader’s life and times. The city of Savannah is famed for its 18th- and 19th-century architecture and leafy public squares. Augusta hosts the Masters golf tournament.
The Good Roads Movement (1880s-1920s) spurred changes in Georgia. In 1904 only 4 percent of public roadways were classified as improved. Dirt roads had long plagued farmers in their attempts to move crops to markets. By 1908, when northern motorists began to trickle to the South, a movement for better roads evolved into a campaign to create interstate tourist highways. Construction of the National and Capital highways finally connected Georgia with major northeastern cities and the Dixie Highway connected Georgia to the Midwest.
