    does anybody know how many lamborghini's are out in san antonio, or how many have you seen. I've only seen 2, someone in my block has one and i saw one at the intersection of 281-1604

    San Antonio is bigger than Dallas by population? Maybe Dallas proper, but the DFW Metro area has over 5MM people. It may not be 1 city, but drive from East Mesquite to West Fort Worth sometime, tell me if you think you ever left the city. You might also look at the demographics of the population.

    There was nothing i said that was false. SAN ANTONIO IS BIGGER THAN DALLAS......POPULATION WISE....NOT THE OUTSIDE OF DALLAS...BUT DALLAS ITSELF. Look at www.skyscrapers.com that will show you San Antonio is number 8 and Dallas is number 9.Of course San Antonio is nothing compared to the size of Dallas's metro area with all of the little towns in between and plus Fort Worth......

    I guess my point is that with the larger population we have in the metro area, it only makes sense that we see more Ferrari's.

    Dropped by the local dealer today. Everything in the boutique is still 40% off so I got a shirt for a rather reasonable price :)

    Carbon, that 550B has been there for a while. It was there when we were in SA for the FCA Regional event last April. I think it's being 'stored' for a customer.

    Didn't think it worth the bother, once you have seen one you have seen em' all...:D

    Since you were whining for me to read all the VINs off to you I thought you might find this interesting.

    doesnt it suck that san antonio doesnt have nothing else really than the Ferrari/Jaguar/Maserati dealership. I think the only way San Antonio might get other dealerships such as Aston martin, lamborghini, or other exotic makes is probably by Charles Barrett expanding

    ive been searching for anything around san antonio that provides this, but since im still new here who knows of anything happening in the future of another company coming here

    I've been down here working for about two months now, and no F-car spotting. I did see an Esprit identical to mine at the Quarry, though.

    By the way, there is Hovey Motors that had a ton of the Qvale Mangusta's. They are apparently a Shelby dealer, too.

    They have an interesting mix of cars. I vaguely looked at the Mangusta a few months ago before deciding that it was more than I wanted to spend, completely impractical and somewhat odd looking.

    RT - Give me a call if you want to get together sometime, I will PM you my number.

    the 550 Barrachetta has been there for well over 3 years.... when it first got there it had a red SOLD sticker on it, then it sat, and sat, and sat then the dealership moved and it had less then 1/10 of a mile put on it and has sat some more...

    however it is a very neat thing to see in SA, as there are only 349 of them right??

    those places also bitters road right by 281. if you wait long enough you could see a Vanquish, 360 spider, or SL55 amg(all owned by same person) also lots of older porsches around there also in hill country village there are some but the area is too spread out and you cant see many houses...

    Stopped by F of SA to get some shield stickers for the rental car I will be driving around Monterey and they happened to have a 360 CS (red w/ stripe) just off the truck and being prepped for delivery. They let me take a quick look, it was very nice.
