Best finance city in the US for car enthusiasts

Obviously there are plenty of enthusiasts live in or around NYC/Chicago/Boston. But no one can deny those cities are shitty places to be for someone who love cars and driving. So far the only ones I can come up with are Menlo Park/Palo Alto, LA and Houston. LA and Houston traffic are horrific, but it's still better than having to stash your car in a garage an hour away or pay enormous amount of money for a parking spot in a densely populated city.

Miami and it's not even close.

Gotta be LA if you talking about driving. Very close to hills/mountains for your windy roads or you can go up the PCH for the views. Day to day would absolutely suck but weekend drives I can't think of anywhere else that would compete for the diversity of scenery.

Edit: DFW/Houston if you want to go really fast in a straight line on the interstate. Miami probably applies to that too.
