    For Ferrari stuff like clothes, model cars, key chain, etc.... (assuming the Ferrari/Maserati showroom on park ave does not open in time), go to Exotic Car Model Gallery

    http://newyork.citysearch.com/profile/33059888/new_york_ny/exotic_car_model_gallery.html?cslink=search_name_noncust&ulink=search__searchslot8_520__0_profile__1


    Obviously, if we have an EC run, you should meet with us in the city.
    Best thing, your family and yourself should rent a 360M from www.gothamdreamcars.com :), the owner is part of da EC crew.

    Sounds good, but we are only in NYC, as we have no way of transportation...

    Thanks, Hubi. Yes, the tri-state area is teeming with things to do and see. Just NYC will put you into sensory overload.

    Yea, unfortunately for only a day. We went up there last year for a 3 day weekend, and stayed right on Times Square, I abosuletly loved it. I really wanted to come back...also becuase I realized the amount of sick playaz in the area..;) So my mom got this memo from work saying there was a planned activity where you get on a bus here, go up there, do stuff there for the day, and then return that night on the bus...

    Thanks for all the responses, definetly need to check out the Exotic car Model Gallery, is there a Ferrari/Maserati extension on LI?? Anything else going on that day, are you guys having a run?? Thanks again,

    David

    hey guys-
    Just firming up plans, we will get there around noon, and leave around 7ish. Hopefully I will be able to get to the Ferrari showroom, the Exotic Car model gallery and Manhattan motor cars. Anywhere else to go-anyone in the city that wouldnt mind meeting up?? Thanks,

    See if you can meet Ghost. He is world famous, and people come from all over the world for minutes of his time.

    I wouldn't leave NYC without doing that. Would be a complete wasted trip, if you couldn't meet up with the infamous ghost.

    Good luck with your trip. Stay away from the subways unless you want to smell urine all day.

    Where do you get off offering GHOST'S time?? Only GHOST decides who gets to see him. ONLY GHOST decides who is worthy. Watch that next time.

    Have a good trip! It is sad that you are in such a great city for only a day but it is better than nothing! ENJOY it as much as you can. Your plans should be pretty good. Manhattan Motorcars is a great place.

    Thanks for the advice, I plotted Manhattan motor cars on the map--looks right near the water?? Is that correct?? Out of the three places I listed, which would b the best to go to, if you could only go to one? Thanks!

    My sincere apologies. I wasn't offering Ghost's time to anyone. I mean I am not even worthy to meet him. It would be fruitless for me to offer his time.

    That would be like dodgeviper01 offering people time with Hubert, the uber pimp. That would be sacriledge!

    I would never do such a thing. THus I carefully worded my statement:

    I know Ghost doesn't see anyone he doesn't want to. I was suggesting that bluedevil try to meet him.

    Again my sincere apologies, and hopefully the EC gods will not look down on me too much for my slip up. :( :(

    Manhattan Motorcars is the best hands down. You can see just about everything there short of a few supercars.

    As for where Manhattan Motorcars is, I believe it is between 27th and 28th on 11th ave.

    Yea, thats the trouble...its not really close to any subway stops, and is out of the way in aspect to the main attractions IE: Rockefeller Center, 5th Ave, etc
    Is that area of town kinda shady? Have any advice? Thanks again
