You'd be surprised. There's actually a warehouse full of exotics right off of Orange Avenue.
Someone actually told me the same thing about a week ago. IDK where it's at though.

There are actually a number of pretty serious car collectors (including exotics and classics), but this one was new to me. I know exactly where this one is at, but apparently there's a pretty significant security setup including an around the clock armed guard. You'd never know it looking at it!

Friend of a friend of a friend kind of thing I guess, but it's reliable information. I'd like to try to get in contact with him and see if he'd allow me a tour of his collection. I'd hate to own such an incredible collection of vehicles and keep them locked under key never to see the light of day or be shown off--ever.

Good luck with getting in there!!! Take as many pics as possible if the oppurtunity presents itself.

I'm not sure what kind of luck to expect considering the circumstances, but I've heard he's quite friendly and I'd hope he'd be consider an opportunity to let someone else appreciate what his hard work, time, and money have amounted to.

I guess we'll see. I'm going to reach out sometime soon and cross my fingers. Assuming it does work out, and I'm able to see it, I'd love to take plenty of pictures.

spotted a slammed e30 in salem earlier today. dark red with some WIDE wheels on it, i'm sure it was boosted, sounded excellent. tail pipe kicked up in the back.
