    Stopped by FOW on Saturday and there was only one Ferrari in the parking lot other than mine. Over 15 other cars, all ones you would see on any street on any given day except for a Porsche GT3. Amazing considering whenever I have been there in past years there were typically numerous Ferraris and Lambos. Goes along with what people have been talking about in all the recent FOW threads.

    Do they charge for parking out there now ? Do they offer validation for 2 hours free parking with new car purchase ?

    Cheap shot, I know, but I couldn't resist.

    I was shocked at the volume of cars on the side of the building the last few visits. I think the FoW building is one of the best overall sites in the US.

    My dream would be to get rid of the other two brands, put newer cars in Atrium showroom, classics in the middle, event space/special display in the old Lamborghini showroom (classics, F50, etc.). All other cars contained within the walls out back. Bring back the race shop (if it hasn't been already).

    I think the place would be better than ever it was focused on just Ferrari. There's so much money in that region, they could easily fill the space with nothing but Ferraris and a few used others. I'm curious how LFSC is doing since they've consolidated - anyone know?

    Also, love the racetrack rumble strips. I will be very sad when those are removed.

    FoW is doing a petty good job these days and on any given day there are many F cars and others. I personally stopped by Saturday in my F12 and there were several others in the lot. Also the race shop is in the back.

    The race shop is back? That's a hell of a surprise. Been nothing but storage back there forever.

    They call it the race shop and their are race cars back there and other stuff. Maybe they fooled me. :)

    Step in the right direction. The machine shop back there was starting to gather dust when I picked up my first F car a decade ago.

    I doubt they're going racing again. I took a Maserati Gran Turismo there recently for a PPI and that race shop space is where they did the inspection.
