    Youd be hard pressed to find anything nice like a porsche 911 let alone exotic in a place like
    Decatur. Ive lived there before and know the area well.

    Yes I live in Decatur and theres a 458 spider, and a few other ferraris here, my neighbor has a bentley continental gt and 3 rolls royces; silver spur silver serapoh and corniche convertible that has never had the top down. A guy here who used to own a yellow superleggera that I got a ride in recently traded it in on a White Maserati Grancabrio and a 2012 Porsche Carrera S convertible. I also know a guy who has a yellow Ford GT with no stripes (in 2005 they only made 28 without stripes, 8 of which were yellow and he owns the only yellow one with no stripes they made with black calipers so its basically a one off car) and he knows the other 3 GT owners in town, white/blue, grey/black, and silver/black. Supposedly there are a few other Lambo's in town though but I've only ever seen a red diablo, but one of my buddys grandparents own a local busines here and they have a Continental Speed Convertible, Rapide, and recently aquired a Ghost. I've been wanting to organize an exotic car event myself here in town since I know most of the owners but haven't done it yet

    I wasn't sure how to forward this, but this was just posted, so I guess there are more exotics in Decatur then people think, you just have to get in the nicer parts of town.

    Haha that's awesome! I haven't been over to Decatur in awhile, I need to get back over there to see all the cars that are out and work lol

    Whenever I drive through a nice neighborhood I'm like it should just be come courtesy for people to leave their garages open for people to see their cars

    That is so true, the Prius driving tree huggers are the ones with multimillion dollar homes. Saving the environment are you? Saw a Maserati in Springfield today, but nothing that exciting lately

    I believe Dyke is in Decatur. One of the early presidents of the FCA and acknowledged Ferrari expect. Seems to have a particular affinity to Lampredi V12s.

    I'm jealous of the roomy parking spaces.
