Upcoming Miami Events

As all red-blooded Ferrari fans know, the Ferrari Challenge has managed to creep up on us again and will be starting next weekend.  This is an exhilarating annual event that allows Ferrari owners to race their exotics against other owners-but did you know you can also enter the race in a Ferrari rental?  Awesome.  Even more awesome?  Imagine Lifestyles is offering a special Ferrari F430 Spider rental for the event.

Dear Imagine Lifestyles,

I have been following your luxury blog for a few months now, and noticed that the 2010 Ferrari Challenge is coming up.  I would like to enter the race within the next couple of years, but do not own a Ferrari. 

I am writing to inquire how exotic car rentals would react to a potential client who wanted to rent a Ferrari for the sole purpose of entering the Ferrari Challenge.  What are the odds of me pulling that off?  It would be a fabulous item to check off of the ole’ bucket list!

Sincerely,
Justin, West Palm Beach

Hello fans and readers, as previously mentioned, the 2010 Ferrari Challenge is fast approaching, and here at Imagine Lifestyles, our engines are racing!  We look forward to this opportunity every year to race one of our Ferraris. 

Dear Imagine Lifestyles,

I read your luxury blog daily and love the variety of information you provide, especially the luxury restaurant tips for our area. 

That is actually how I discovered your blog, I had been searching for restaurants in Miami that I may not be aware exist, and found your blog about Nobu Sushi.  The added bonus is that you also cover exotic cars, which I love nearly as much as exotic food.  The content variety is awesome and a nice lunchtime read for me at the office.

Anyways, I am writing to get your take on the South Beach Food and Wine Festival this weekend, is it something to just stop by, or to plan on devoting the entire weekend to? 

Thanks guys you are awesome,
Tomas, South Beach

If you live or are planning to be in the Miami area this weekend, the 2010 Food Network South Beach Wine & Food Festival presented by Food & Wine is on.  The Wine & Food festival will take place Thursday, February 25 through Sunday, February 28th.  Read on to find out why it is a “can’t miss”.

Some of the most well-respected and recognized industry principals will again congregate in Miami Beach to educate and entertain the thousands of fans of this annual event. 

For our fellow Ferrari fans, the details for the anticipated 2010 Ferrari challenge are out via the calendar with communications to all Ferrari Challenge drivers, dealers and teams.  Here is what to expect this year.

There will be 6 events in North America plus International finals.  In total, there will be 12 North American races, contested over 6 event weekends, followed by the International finals in November.  The International finals will count towards the Championship, as usual.

This Saturday, February 13th, will mark the 47th annual Coconut Grove Arts Festival.  The event will take place in beautiful Coconut Grove, Florida, from February 13th-15th.   Hours for the festival are 10am-6pm all three days.

Each year, football season comes to an inevitable climax with the NFL Super Bowl Championship Game.  Suddenly, all of the regular football season events are dominated by an excitement and series of sexy commercials and even the Lingerie Bowl.

What is hotter than a girl who loves football?  How about a model that plays football, during Super Bowl halftime, in front of millions of viewers-in her lingerie.  Yes, the Lingerie Bowl began in 2004 at Super Bowl XXXVIII, and its popularity is literally on the rise. 

This tradition is as hot as the Victoria Secret Super Bowl commercials.  The girls are scorching on the field, sporting sexy little nothings and looking absolutely adorable with the football face paint.  We are curious how many viewers are actually keeping score, or if anyone bets on their favorite team.  Is it possible to have a favorite team?  We like them all. 

The Super Bowl Miami competitors are now known- it will be the Indianapolis Colts vs. the New Orleans Saints.  So now that fans of each team have scored their tickets to Miami for game week, here are some of the upcoming events to plan for:

So will the Saints go marching in?  Or will the Colts ride into the Miami sunset with their second Super Bowl title in three years?  The NFL’s Most Valuable Player, Peyton Manning, led his Indianapolis Colts to a superb comeback victory over the New York Jets on Sunday, to book their spot in the Super Bowl game February 7th in Miami.

We at Imagine Lifestyles have been checking out what tickets to Super Bowl 44 Miami are selling for, and they are certainly not cheap.  If you are heading down to Miami to join us for the big game, you may be in the process of searching for the best deal you can score on the coveted tickets.
