Exotic Cars? (Charlotte, Greensboro, Norman: apartments, lease, houses)

[LaLa010]

Just curious, but do you see exotic cars around or/and in the Charlotte area?

I see a Ferrari about once a month other than that not much. I used to see more in Greensboro with them having Foreign Car Italia. Lake Norman area is the exception you will probably see a good bit more there than actually in Charlotte.

I've seen a few Bentley Continetal GTs, GT Convertible, and Flying Spur

Also a Lamborghini Murcielago, probably a Ferrari 360, a few Porsche 997 GT3s, and a highly modified 997 Turbo



Not really sure if you'd consider those exotics, though


Nothing like Miami where I saw Bentleys & yellow Lambos daily

There is a car dealership in Lake Norman off Hwy 21 near exit 28 that usually has some real cool rides. I would love to have that Red 4 door Transfer truck pickup they have on display.

Doesn't Foreign Cars Italia also have a dealership out on East Independence?

I have a 914 Porsche sitting in pieces in a barn in the next county. :-)

If you find someone willing to help me put it together for a reasonable price, you are welcome to see it! Heck, I would post a picture!

I think people in Charlotte have other priorities over what kind of car they drive. One of the first things I noticed when visiting Charlotte is that most people drive normal cars. No super expensive foreign cars. But they do live in houses that are big and for Miami standards (where I moved from) they look like mansions. In Miami you see many luxury cars, but these are parked in front of shacks or apartments, anyways, most are leased. Just my opinion.

I agree with this. People in Charlotte can get a kick-butt house for a fraction of what it would cost in LA or Miami, etc so they go for that. Cars are secondary here. In other cities the cost of living and subsequent property taxes are so high that people compete with their vehicles rather than with their addresses.

Not sure..... they may.....I haven't seen it if they do.



Ohh yeah I see Porsches everyday...Carrera S...GT3....Turbos.....I guess I see those so often I didn't really consider them exotic although they are rare.

Yes, small, but it's there.
