TCO's Best Exotic Car Sounds of 2013 (VIDEO)

As we await warmer weather and the start of the 2014 C&C season, I recently put together a brief video featuring the best sounds I recorded in 2013.  I apologize for the poor quality of the video, and I do have an upgraded camcorder for this year!

2013 Bergen County C&C Picture Highlights

2013 was the inaugural season for our Bergen County Sports Car Club.  We started off in December 2012 with about a dozen members and grew to over 700 members as of December 2013!  As we wait for winter to end before we kick off 2014, here are some select pictures from our 2013 events:

Bergen County C&C - Sunday, August 4th, 2013

After breaking for July, we returned to Ridgewood on Sunday, August 4th and had a perfect weather day.  Here are the picture highlights:

Dealer-hopping in Newport Beach

Like many places in Southern California, Newport Beach is known for its abundance of quality cars.  On any given day (weekday or weekend), I saw Ferraris, Lamborghinis, Audi R8s, Jaguar F-types, Maseratis, Corvettes, Porsches and quite a few classic cars cruising down Pacific Coast Highway.  On one Saturday in particular, I spotted an Aston Martin Vantage, Porsche Carrera GT, Lamborghini Murcielago LP640, a pair of Ferrari 458s and a few Maserati GranTurismos within about ten minutes.

As a result of the quantity of these cars in the area, there are many exotic car dealerships in town.  I decided to spend a morning "dealer-hopping" and see how many showrooms would actually let me in (for the record, Lamborghini of London does not allow people to simply walk in; you must schedule an appointment for serious buyers only.  Also, Wynn-Penske Ferrari-Maserati of Las Vegas charges admission to anyone wishing to view their showroom).

I visited Aston Martin/Jaguar, Maserati, Ferrari, McLaren and Lamborghini, and all five dealers were extremely friendly to me.  Amazingly, these are bigger showrooms than local Toyota or Chevy dealers.  I even helped a customer at Aston Martin pick out his new Vanquish while I was there (no, I did not get a commission on the sale).
