My son thought you had to get tickets from a F dealer. Is that for better tickets?

Is it easy to get tickets for this Sun. We would love to go. My son's new golden retriever puppy has a great name. His name is "Enzo". Is I guess I could say my son has a red Enzo. My second son goes to school at Santa Clara U and we thought we would visit (impress) him and his college buddies.

Al-Congrats on the new purchase. I was somewhat surprised to see someone else on the board from Idaho with an F-car. Just FYI, there are a handfull of us owners (Ferrari, Lamborghini, Pantera, etc.) in the Boise area that try to get together several times during the year for various events. If interested, send me an e-mail and we can discuss it further. Anyway, have a safe trip and I hope you enjoy your new car.

My son said there is some race in the San Francisco area this week end. It's not much out of the way. Anybody know about this. Also re-the bra, it's only a car(even though it is a F car), I don't believe in a bra. If I need to repaint the front, so be it!!

Congratulations, Al. Use it in good health. Don't get a bra, pick up some stone chips and enjoy the patina!

Here's a few suggestive pit stops -
when leaving LA - stop by California Speedway, then go north to Vegas Speedway
and so on....

Install a front end bra to help protect from stone chips.

Try to plan your return via as many tunnels as possible. You will not be disapointed!!

Went from two P to two F.

You are in one step above Lapeter :-)

You won't miss that "plastic" feeling of the clutch and gear box transmission from P car

Don't drop acid on your first drive home from the dealership.

make sure you know where the gas stations are - it's real easy to make these cars EXTRA thirsty ;-)

sounds like a blast of a drive home - enjoy yourself!

We are picking up our 1996 355 spider this friday in LA. We are driving it back to Sun Valley, Idaho (850 miles) My last F car was 15 years ago. Anything special I need to know about this car that I wouldn't know about since I have a 1999 C-4 Cab Porsche. Any tips would be appreciated. TIA
