The TV personality wore brown jeans, a black t-shirt, boots and a belt as he addressed his 502,000 followers.

“It’s the first Cars & Coffee of the season,” he announced, as the video switched to drone footage of Columbia and attendees from past events.

Mike continued, “We have the Loose Wheels food truck, we have Cult Persona Coffee, we have The Martini Shakers, and on top of that, the Big Blue Pickin’ Party is happening across the street.”

The antique collector strolled through his store as he explained, “Now, if you don’t know what this is, it’s a really amazing flea market.”

“This is all happening in Downtown Columbia, Tennessee, in Motor Alley. See you there,” he insisted.

The video included footage of several vintage cars and the town’s courthouse before transitioning to an informational card with details of the event.

Mike captioned his post: “Join us THIS Saturday, April 20th from 8am-11am for the start of @columbiacarsandCoffee, which will continue on the third Saturday of every month through October.

“This weekend promises to be even more special with the Big @Bleu32 Vintage Marketplace Pickin’ Party happening across the street, followed by the @muletownflea Market later in the day.”

“Bring your wheels and see you there! Enjoy coffee from @cultpersona_cwhl, live music with @martinishakers, indulge in delicious treats from @thefiveladies5,” he shared.

“Savor the flavors of @eatloosewheels, cool off with treats from @joeysitalianices.”
