Use to live there...

They are usually pretty good about letting enthusiasts come by for a quick look around. At any given time they are prepping several cars for dealer delivery (Esprits and the odd Exige)

Brilliant!! Might be popping over. My brother's a car nut too so i think a trip is in order!
I used to live there too!!
Its a great city. With the possible exception of the road planners on acid.
Peachtree Boulevard and Roswell Rd are the places to head for car dealerships.
Peachtree Blvd is the main drag out of Downtown, it winds its way up through Midtown, Buckhead and out towards Norcross. Just before Norcross you cant miss the dealerships.
Roswell Rd is the other road out of Buckhead. If you are leaving the city, when you get to Fados on Peachtree take a left for Roswell or a right for Peachtree.
Oh and if you have time The Gold Club and The Cheetah are well worth a visit!

Someone told me that the Gold club had been taken over by the mob
and subsequently closed down. What about the Pink Pony? 
Many happy memories of the Ritz Carlton in Buckhead. Always used to go to Atlanta for the Sports Trade fair in February. The weather was usually good. One year (94 or 5) it snowed. You have never seen such chaos, cars everywhere strewn along the feeway. Taxis were gold dust, it cost me $100 in a limo to get downtown.
Also Atlanta must have the most cock eyed airport baggage retrieval service in the world.
Gold Club has always been owned by the mob. It was at the centre of a huge mob case involving the oh so slightly corrupt (now) ex-mayor.
Pink Pony is almost as good, and a lot cheaper!
Ritz Carlton Buckhead Dining Room is fab, as is Canoe. All in all though you just cant beat Bacchinalia I think.
Oh, and get to a Waffle House, it would be rude not to.

For fun nightlife, try the Tongue and Groove in Buckhead. Usually starts happening after about 10:30 or 11:00pm at night. It is where "the beautiful people" hang out. Great champagne selection. The occasional celeb shows up when in town. Professional athletes, etc. Ask any taxi driver, they know where it is...

Edited to add: Dress for success. If you look the part, most of the birds will assume you are "someone important" and chat you up. Six foot blondes do grow on trees in Atlanta.

Hey Matt...
This will bring back memories. This person has the "normal commute" nailed. Just keep hitting NEXT

Gold Club
- just remember - they don't fancy you, just your wallet and stay out of the "private rooms".

What about the Buckhead Diner?
That commuting link is top class. Very true though, people do seem a lot more courteous on the roads in the US, none of this nipping off at the last minute across the median. I had a field day! 
Ahh the Tongue and Groove - forgot about that, great name for a nightclub, not very nice bouncers though, although they have proved they have a sense of humour!
Buckhead Diner - The best hand cut potato chips covered in melted blue cheese anywhere on earth
The Varsity Ernest? Perhaps only worth a look after a Georgia Tech game, but saying that, its kinda nice for an ex pat to get the full flavour of Arnolds type culture!
Whats that dreadful place at the back of Fado's that does the goldfish bowl vodka things?

I know the place, but can't think of the name...
Just thought of one more great eatery: The Atlanta Fish Market - buckhead - just look for the giant fish.
Also, if you like steak try Morton's

BTW Matt - they have shut down the "Have A Nice Day Cafe"
and changed it to a different type of club. I will be heading to Atlanta end of the month so I'll see what they've turned it into... I was told about the fish market when I first got there, phoned them and asked for directions they just said 'Come to Buckhead and keep an eye out for a 50ft copper fish!' funny but it did work. Great food.
Have a nice day cafe - thats a shame, twas a nice place.
Another one worthy of consideration is that place up the road from the fish market that has artists and the like working in it whilst you eat...
But Fados for a fry up, thats a must post boozing.
