Yep,that's where I'm at.Manheim Pa.It is about 5hours from my house in the heart of Amish country.When they say largest they mean it.34 lanes and an average of 10k cars a week to choose from.The building housing the lanes is about an 1/8 mile long.I will really get my exercise tomorrow! It is really something to see,guess I should be able to buy 10 Hyundais.:)

Holy crap that is a lot of cars. So you buy the cars and they are shipped back to your dealership ?

Oh, did you drive the Mustang ? If so, how was the drive ?

I worked at a used car dealer in Harrisburg back in the day, and we sent cars there every week. I remember vividly a guy losing the left front wheel off of one of the car while driving it down there. It was flat bedded the rest of the way. Make sure you look them over well. :D

No, that's the R8 Gary. I'm looking for the sedan that has the v10 which is the S8. Here's a video of an 07 but I want an 08. They sound great. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9kfXq5uXzAM&feature=youtube_gdata_player
