Every time I travel there i see a supercar (Hypercar). TopGolf Saturday night had a damn McLaren parked out front. Traveled to Spring to Wet N Wild with the kids and saw a Tesla dealership, a Lamborghini Dealership and a McLaren dealership.

I'm sure there was a Ferrari dealership somewhere around there I didn't see.

Even if I had a billion dollars I dont think I'd buy cars like that.

Eta:

Nice cars for sure, and a plane, but super cars are such an attention grab.

I'd lean more towards Zurich or possibly Dubai



naaaaa, MJ2 is probably right, Houston is probably the supercar mecca

Sorry to be that guy but that's a 650S not a P1. Still very nice!

There is a Ferrari dealership and hoo boy they are (rightfully?) rude unless you have an appointment.

Go drive by the Granduca Hotel, near Westheimer. Some true 'ballers in there and they're proud of their vehicles.

Quite comical when I pulled up in an '02 Acura MDX about 4 years ago and self-parked.

I'm trying to think of what cars I'd get if I was a billionaire now

Probably a G-Wagon and a Bentley sedan or something like that. With a driver obviously.

For myself to drive on the weekends, maybe an antique 70's/60's Ferrari that isn't too outrageous looking and a V-12 Mercedes sedan.


ETA:

All of them in black, white, silver, or graphite most likely.

Clearly that man's spending an extra couple (hundred) thousand on a vehicle now to save plenty of cash later when he's driving 200mph on the Grand Parkway and wasting literally zero gas.

Great long-term investment IMO.

You should drive around parts of Scottsdale, especially when Barrett Jackson auction is going on.


About a year or so ago saw one of these at a stoplight in Scottsdale...

Drive around my town of Brentwood TN and you'll see these expensive cars all the time. You just need to be where the money is.

Honestly it's their fault for making so many that look similar, and all use the same 3.8L V8. The new 570S will compete at the 911 Turbo price point so you might see them everywhere, to the ire of P1 owners. They also have a 570GT coming out for all your road trip needs.
