    Enjoy yourself. They have a lot of great car events in that state including several great races. You actually picked a state that costs more than Illinois, and also gets hurricanes. Buy lot's of house insurance and don't buy an electric car, they don't like salt water when it floods :eek: Kidding aside, I may run into you at one of the Florida concours, or maybe one of the 36 hours of Florida races, Daytona and Sebring.

    Saw this bit of Chicagoland history. Dana Mecums father Ed Mecum owned this Marengo dealership back in the 1970's. Sort of like the Mancuso Chevrolet dealers back in the 1970's, owned by Rick's father.

    Not a Ferrari but I was at Ferrari Lake Forest and had the pleasure of seeing this. I also learned that they are an official Pagani dealer:
