considering the population of the area hawaii has a few ferrari owners all concentrated in the kahala area, there are also a few more in the hawaii kai/port lock area, on oahu. i've run into a 512 owner there. that was interesting because i found out he owned a ferrari after going trick-or-treating at his house. the beautiful red car was sitting in the garage next to his bmw. the great thing was he drives it regularly. as for the mainland i know in the DC Metro area i've run into a couple of ferraris already. one of them being michael jordan's i believe. he's known to part his cars at the DC Ritz Carlton. but as for now, since he's no longer a team owner, i'm not sure where those will be. | ||

I had a habbit of writing down how many Ferrari's I saw on my vacation one time. When I first came to Monaco 3 years ago, I saw 93 Ferrari's. Some might have been the same, but I didn't look at plates. | ||

Mizner Park in Boca Raton, FL usually has a few, especially during evening hours when the dinner crowd comes out. Once I sat there and watched the valet area. There were a few F-cars already but I really wanted to see a 328 (my favorite). Within five minutes a red 328 rolled up. South Florida is something else! | ||

The most I have seen is in the service bay of the local Ferrari dealer.........most with warranty problems. They have less cars for sale, probably due to them being afraid of buying, and selling them at a price where they can get a "reasonable" profit. | ||

When I lived in Corona Del Mar, I would see one almost every day while I would see about 15 Porsches, though. That's when I started to realize that as great as P-cars are, they're a little too common for my money. Incidentally, I drove a Boxster S on the track yesterday and all I can say is that I seriously, seriously under estimated that car. What a wonderful car to drive at the limit. Not to worry, I am still looking hard for my F355B. | ||

Just great, I'd hate to come out of my favorite hot spot in Monte Carlo and try and sort through all the parked Ferrari's trying to find mine. ewww, I'd be just another Ferrari lemmings. LOL | ||

I thought Beverly Hill had a lot of Ferrari's and then I went to Monte Carlo. No comparison. On a very slow Saturday Night I saw at least 30 360's. and 10 550/575. NO 355,348,308. Everyone had them. | ||

I come from Montreal where most Ferrari's were used during the limited summer months so coming here to Vancouver I really got the sense that there is alot of them here. I see at least one of two a day during the summer and it can go up to 4 a day sometime. Monaco was definitly the highest ranking of Ferrari per capita that I have ever been though! | ||

The number one place where I always see at least three ferraris when I get there is Puerto Banos, in costa del sol, spain. But also here in stockholm if you take a walk in the city a nice summer day you�re almost guaranteed to see at least one cavalino rampante. It isnt unusual for me (living in the central of stockholm) to see 3-4 ferraris on the same day. | ||

On the lawn at Concorso Italiano is a pretty good place to see a million Ferraris. You get desentized after a bit and start passing by cars because you've already seen ten of them. I haven't decided if I'll go to the Monterey events this year or not, now that I live further away and my brother doesn't live in PG anymore - the whole hotel thing is such a pain that weekend. | ||

Martin, When I lived in S. Beach, my wife (girlfriend at the time) would shop all the time in Bal Harbor. Definitely a lot of Ferraris there. We went to the opening of the Bulgari store at the shops and there must've easily been twenty Ferraris. I think Monte Carlo takes the cake though. Cheers | ||

Michael C James, They can afford more real estate, but it isn't necessary. They do have a decent sized service area--which is really the most important aspect of any F-dealer--and they have a huge warehouse somewhere. Greg | ||

One of the biggest meetings are the Ferrari Racing Days at the Nuerburgring. Last time over 1100 Ferraris were counted at the parking lot on sunday. Good places in Germany are the K� in Duesseldorf and Munich. Not to forget the Auto Salon in Singen. | ||

Bal Harbour you usually see more than in South Beach. I think there is at least one parked in the Shops at any time they are open. For lunch and dinner you have at least 5 in the lot. We had a 250 GTO parked on the street yesterday. I thought I amn dreaming when I saw that! | ||

Funny, I've been around Rodeo Drive in LA on two consecutive weekends, and hardly saw any Ferraris around - the ones I did see were on Symbolic's showroom floor. I could count the number of cars on Ferrari of Beverly Hills' showroom with one hand. You would think they could afford more real estate than the closet they currently operate from.... I've seen several F-Cars cruising Malibu on the Pacific Coast Highway (Route 1) several times, but never where the roads get twisty near Pt. Mugu. I guess the gasoline is bad up there... | ||

I was told there's 524 in Hong Kong including 9 F50's, a lone F40 and the first of 7 Enzos arrives this week. Supposedly an early '70s 512 and some other interesting stuff in some collections. Not a bad effort considering the size of the place and the fact that so few own cars at all, and the 150% luxury tax. | ||

I know in my town there are about 4 Ferrari owners (among 40.000 citizens) but I never see them driving. In the 5 years I own my 308, and 4 years driving it :-) I only encountered another Ferrari in it 3-4 times. Spotted my first driving 2 Ferraris this year only past week. It is always good to see a Ferrari drive on the road, makes my day, they look so much better than on the computer screen, TV or in books! Saw a Testarossa coming from a side street accelerating on the main street, it had loud exhausts and I could feel the sound in my chest, and there was a 348 Spider cruising through the city center slowly. Both are not my favourite cars if I look at pictures but in the real they both looked so good! Guess I miss driving my own...(4 weeks holiday soon, hope to have it painted after that, see profile) | ||

Excuse the "anorak" nature of this post, but not counting shows and gatherings, where is one guaranteed to see plenty of Ferraris on the road? In my experience: Rodeo Drive, Los Angeles. They're simply everywhere! Monte Carlo, Monaco. Almost as bad as Rodeo Drive, and if you go to the marina, it's even worse. Geneva, Switzerland. Right by the lake. Lambos too. Tokyo, Japan. Everywhere. Along with all sorts of other exotica. London, England. Quite common in the trendy parts. Hong Kong. Small place. You see everything. Little Neck, Long Island. Like flies. Greenwich, CT. Think they grow on trees there. Las Vegas, NV. There's a few, but only one strip means they are all there. Palo Alto, CA. At least one or two a day. Alpine, NJ. Close to FNA, and a wealthy town. It's nickname is Ferraritown! Loveladies, NJ. Beach town crawling with Ferraris. South Miami Beach, FL. Plenty of nice cars. |
