If I lived in South FL I'd wanna be in Jupiter or even Stuart/Jensen beach. The further down you go, the crazier it gets.
Yeah, this pretty much sums it up.

That may be true, but my post was just commenting on Miami. For what it's worth, Tampa is still far outnumbered by the exotic cars on South Beach. Those cars you listed are as common down there as Civics are here.

My friends and I went to LIV at Fontainebleau one night and laughed when people tried to act like high rollers while pulling up in Ferraris. We figured the bouncers would say "Big deal" when they would want to get in front of the line.

Side note. LIV is nice but I wouldn't want to go there often, if at all anymore. Arkadia is more my style.

We were laughing because they thought they were all that, when they were a dime a dozen.

I think I've only seen one Lambo the whole time I've been here. Guess I need to get out more.

I think you're misunderstanding. We weren't laughing at what they did or didn't have. We were laughing at the fact that the owners expected preferential treatment because of what they were driving, when what they were driving was not anywhere near the value of other cars that were pulling up.

It's comparable to 10 Civics pulling up to a club in Tampa and complaining about not getting in, when one Ferrari driver can get in easily.

Only at LIV, it was 10 Ferrari drivers complaining and one matte black Veyron driver having no issues. This is the comparison between Tampa and Miami I was trying to convey. I could not care less what people have or don't have... it's their entitlement complex that I find amusing.

I've seen a matte black Lambo and matte black M3 driving around before. Gave me a chubby. Also, I see a handful of Aston Martins and Maseratis driving around.

Mr Bean will be attending the local club scene tonight in his Austin Mini 1000. Who cares who drives what. This crap is too superficial for the average residents of TB or Miami.
