James Motor Corp Tech Session, Saturday, June 14, 2025

Saturday, the Bluegrass Stars Chapter made an early morning trip to Carson’s in Lexington, Kentucky, for a delicious brunch! Even at such an early hour we enjoyed the unusual menu choices, and catching up with members we have missed seeing. It was nice to see Steve Loboyko again, as well as two members who came to their first event. And, a special thanks to Paige Kikuchi for recommending Carson’s and being our contact there to make the reservation.

That afternoon we were welcomed at James Motor Company by the new General Manager, Shane Miller. He generously had cold drinks, coffee and cookies, and cupcakes for us when we arrived as well as a special parking area.

We had a chance to see some of the beautiful Benz on display in the showroom, and the cleanest glass walls I've ever seen - I was sure I would walk into one, if they were not always opened for us!

Mr. Miller showed us the plans for the new dealership update to happen soon, what vehicles would be available for the remainder of 2025, and what to expect in 2026.

He seemed genuinely pleased to have us visit, and invited us back after the renovations were completed.

We look forward to seeing him at Concours d’Elegance in July, as well as on our next visit, as he seemed truly glad to host us for the day.

Thanks, Shane!
