I've been going to car shows since my age was single-digits. Whenever dozens, and sometimes hundreds of sports cars gather, I do my best to get there. This past Sunday, I was more excited than usual. I had never been to an exotic supercar show before, mainly because there are far fewer of them than traditional muscle car shows and partially because I don't know as many supercar owners as I do muscle car owners. So, thanks to FerrariChat.com, I found out about this charity (benefitting diabetes research) supercar show in Glen Cove, New York months ago.
Now I had seen some pictures from the past few years, so I knew generally what to expect. There would be hundreds of BMWs and a decent selection of Italian supercars. What I didn't know was just how impressive the display of supercars would be. Here is my day at Glen Cove: Sunday, September 9th, 2012.
I arrived from the Glen Street approach, meaning I would start on the BMW side of the show. To be honest, I wasn't really interested in seeing a bunch of M3s with fancy rims. If I want to see my share of high-end BMWs, I'll take a Saturday drive through any Bergen County, New Jersey road and I'll get my fill. So I pretty much walked right past the Bimmer's and towards the supercars.
Here's what I saw.
