    5000 mile drive with only one problem, blew a 15 amp fuse for cigarette lighter while charging cell phone... pretty minor issue..

    Average fuel economy: 24.3 MPG

    Longest single day drive: NIagara Falls ON to Fargo ND, 1140 miles in 19 hours, average speed: 60mph 4 fuel ups & a border crossing

    Cheapest gas: .65 / liter in Grand Forks ND
    Most Expensive gas: .99 / liter in Regina SK


    Was it fun: DEFINATELY, If you never drive your car, whats the point?

    Would I do it again: Not likely in a 328, car is too small and very noisy and the A/C is too marginal, but a 3 or 4 hundred mile cruise is certainly a reasonable thing to do, but then again maybe Vancouver next year....

    Is that a KIT car? twice
    NICE CAR Dude! too many times to count
    How fast will that go? at least 20 times
    Passed by a mini van.... at least 6 times an hour (even when I was cruising at 90 mph)
    Other Ferrari's spotted on trip: zero

    All the reason to have a companion in the passenger side, so that you can get some shots like this.....

    Sweet, planning on a trip with the wife in August to Montreal and back, only a 1,000k trip but looking forward to it in the TR. Glad to hear it was a blast, and great to hear the story that others actually use the car !!
