    Good luck gtjoey.

    That'll be a pretty impressive fuel bill and a great story.

    Joey is the king of the super car road trips. First this and then 7k miles in his 720S when it arrives. A hero!! No low mileage on your cars Joey.

    Doing 160mph average that will be 5h+ per day. Plenty of time for sight seeing. The biggest challenge: getting out of the NY rat hole he starts from :) right Joey?

    Yeah. Joey can take a straight talk! that said I am jealous of you able to do such a trip, I told you that already. Despite the obvious challenges to do it with an early VQ, that is the stuff boys like us tied down with deadlines, schedules, mitigation, reaction time, are dreaming of.
    Now, someone has to do this with a Countach next! but not you with mine..

    If we plan early enough do you want to do New York to pebble beach and back next year
    I'm bringing the 720
    The Lamborghini would make it!

    If you guys go to gtjoey.com, you can follow along the trip!
    As for Countach, I understand.....wax it , keep it mint , so when you drop dead , your wife sells the car for 10 cents on the dollar.
    Blow it up baby, 275 gtb's are coming down by the millions, I like your car, but if you don't drive it?
