Just moved to North Scottsdale

Man I love it here. Great weather, nice roads, much less traffic.

Found out that the Ferrari club has over 500 ferraris. There are two McLaren F1s here. Porsche twin turbos are so common that people treat it like the Beatle.

My car still gets stares - people can't figure out what it is.

The only downside: the ******* noisy *** JimLab bushings - what a piece of ****: they groan like the ******* snow birds getting up from the toilet seat after 5 miles. Once I move into my house, I'm putting in new control arms.

If u thought AZ was impressive, you certainly haven't been West enough.

Here is a sample of what type of car shows we have in my neck of the woods:

I dont know, It is hard to beat North Scottsdale if you are into cars and would like to be able to afford a house some time in your life. Barrett Jackson and several other nearly as impressive auctions are here every year. Gauthier Classic car rally was very cool, that is the only place I have been able to take a pic of an Enzo and F40 parked side by side. A couple weeks ago I saw a Gallardo pulled over by the cops. Came back an hour later and he was still there, must have done something really bad or was just BSing with the cops. Lately I have been seeing Bentley's out the Wazoo, I am almost tired of looking at Continental GT's. Rolls Royce is almost as bad. NSX's have not interested me for quite some time, every rice boy has one now. I think the FD is about the only car I still like because I dont see them everywhere.

If ur into the modern sport cars then Concorso > Barrett Jackson.

Otherwise why would B Jackson even have a booth at the concorso if they are better?

On the way to and from the Concorso u can see schools of exotic cars on the freeway racing each other and playing around as if it was cannonball run.
