    I noticed Park Place had some cars including a couple of McLarens. AM brought their new Vanquish. They said they were going to trying to get the Rapide S up from the port by Saturday, no guarantees though.

    What about Ferrari? Last time they were on the list two years ago, they were no-shows...same with Lamborghini.

    5 passes left as of 9:23am this morning.

    Park Place has a large set up this year. They are showing several of each of their car lines

    Boardwalk has a Ferrari, Maserati, and Lamborhini to show. ( NADA sent very last minute invite for us to show ) I'm guessing they had a square to fill and we were it... LoL

    You'll see more by walking into a Dealership, but there are examples of each there!

    The only Ferrari was a California. Only Lambo G Spyder. 2 Fax Machines, some Roll sand Bentley and Maserati, F-Type was there, the new Chevy SS. No new Vette, but new Viper was there. Very cool full-motion simulator in the Ford display. Worth going, but if you find a way to spend more than 1-2 hours I'd wonder how.

    I was hoping to see the new Vette in person. Oh well, I guess all those other amazing exotics will have to do instead.

    Good show this year, thanks Steve for the tickets! I did feel sorry for the young lady standing in the Ferrari booth, she looked awfully bored.

    I always fall in love with the A8's, I may need to buy one someday.

    It looks great in pictures, I'm looking forward to seeing it. They really took some lines from the SLS.

    McLaren, Aston, there in proper form and looking spectacular and all Ferrari could do is cough up a single California? The Cali is nice but not satisfactory as the only representative. I remember in 02 (maybe 03) every car was there INCLUDING an Enzo that wasn't even roped off. I had to alert the salesman of a kid rubbing his hands doen the side of the car. Is this market that unimportant now?
