    Great shots Brian. I guess you decided against going through Colorado? Or maybe that's the way HOME?

    Oh, and Speedy/Zupra? You must stop this bantering that takes over other threads. Now go to your rooms.

    Brian ... I am sure I speak for most of us here .. We live vicariously through you ... keep on trucking mate!

    Nice also to see the entire family passionate about the F-car!!

    116F would be murder in my saloon. So your Stradale is more than forgiven.

    When I drove to Yosemite some years back, there were pretty sharp drop-offs between the road and the adjoining run-off area. Considering the low profile 19" that you have on it must be tricky, right?

    Perfect sunny weather there in Yosemite! Enjoy yourself..

    Very nice shots. Those pics of your 360CS embracing the beautiful background of Yosemite national park are what its all about it.

    How often do you have to change the oil in the CS & How much oil did it consume on your trip?

    Also, how does the air conditioning work in the CS? Windows down in 90 degree plus weather is murder.

    The Stradale consumes very little oil. I have changed it at a little over 1000 miles and at 5K miles.

    The AC is awesome... as other CS owners have said, you can hang meat in there. However, it was straining to keep things cool when it was over 110'F.

    Excellent photos Brian, very well taken. They could be used in a calendar. I’ve always wanted to travel on route 66. Have a great trip.

    Fly to Las Vegas and rent one. The mileage charges can make it expensive.

    Sort of... I drove it in a circle pretty slowly...with nothing around... so I wouldn't hit anything... like I did in my mom's car... I've been paranoid ever since that incident.
