If you're ever driving through Greensboro, NC on I-40 stop at Foriegn Cars Europa...
It's truly an incredible dealership. Everytime I go to my parents house in Greensboro my father and I drive by to check out their inventory. The facility is set apart from any other dealerships or strip malls etc... it's visible from I-40, but kind of on it's own. I'd say it's a good 30,000 sq-ft maybe more... all showroom. Different areas for Aston martin, Porsche, Ferrari, Maserati etc. With the economy slow they have more inventory on the floor than I've ever seen. In one area they have an F50 and an F40 roped off.
It's the most exotic/luxury cars I've seen in one place other than a car show. It seems bigger than the dealerships I visited out in California when I was in Irvine a few years back.
Sorry... didn't snap any pictures other than one pear white V8 Vantage w/ my cell phone.

I'll have to check it out if I'm ever passing through, sound like a fun place. What dealerships did you go to in SoCal? Most everywhere I've been has been relatively small (probably because of the astronomical price of land).

I killed some time driving up and down PCH and stopped at 4 or 5 of them... can't remember which ones by name though. Remember seeing a Yellow Ford GT for $325,000. This was in 2004 when they were priced through the roof.

Actually looks like they switched the name back to Foriegn Cars Italia which is what they used to be when they were on Wendover Ave... when they moved to the I-40 location a few years back they changed the name for a bit. Here's their website: http://www.foreigncarsitalia.com/

Everytime I go to my mom's house in NC I see that place on I-40. I've never had the chance to stop by there though. But people from the dealership have come to stay at my hotel in Richmond for the past couple years for the European Car show they have on Brown's Island each year. They seem to be cool people for the most part. I still remember when one of them revved up an F430 for me in our driveway.

Next time you go stop in for a bit... it's an awesome place. I keep telling them one day I'll actually come in and buy something more than a t-shirt
I'd love to have a F-355 w/ Tubis one day.
