Ferrari of Houston is Giuseppe's dealership. He knows people in the Ferrari dealer network, and if he still isn't involved in running the dealer network and importation of Ferraris and Maseratis to North America he remains well connected there.

Thus, running Ferrari of Ft. Lauterdale's program seems possible, and he has done that in the past (Ferrari/Maserati of Washington I believe was Risi-run, could be wrong). But I believe he prefers to own the cars and have full control of his programs and have dealerships and partners pay him for the exposure his program brings them - that has been the case since '06 anyway.
