What the hell was going on near Miami Today??

I was leaving Naples and heading South on I-75 when i was passed by a marvelous sight. About 40-50 miles north of Miami heading North on I-75 i passed roughly 50 modded Ferrari's, about 75-100 modded P-cars, and probably 25-30 Lambo's, mostly modded. These cars were Screaming down the interstate. I nearly had a wreck looking at them. Most of these cars were modded and sick looking. Had i been in my car and not a Fire-engine red toyota camry i might have pulled a U-turn and joined and just said screw the flight.

Does anyone know why all these cars were gathered together? It wasnt people returning from the end of bull run i dont think, no numbers or stickers on mosr of the cars.

Very good question my young Tennessean. Back in the late sixties, early seventies, there was a mopar color called plum crazy. It was a very purple color much like the techno violet from the BMW E36 and E46 M3's. I dont know the name of the color for Ferrari, or even if it is a factory color, so i called it Mopar "Plum Crazy"



Are either you or you dad going to the car show in Nashville This weekend. It is in the parking lot of the Titan's Satdium and I think there are going to be about 1,500 cars. There is a Euro section where I am parking my car.
