At the time, his dealership existed merely to fund his racing ambitions. Life changed however when Joe had a serious racing accident which threatened his driving career. Joe worked hard as his plans changed which persevered him into laying the foundations of Joe Macari Performance Cars. A destination for Ferrari, Maserati and all kinds of super and performance cars.
