    I had to take a business trip from Tampa to Atlanta and thought it would be fun to take the Ferrari. Drove 1000 miles in just over 24 hours and the car was great. Top down most of the time except for a few run ins with bad weather. Which by the way, rain in fact did not melt the car. I know there are rumors on Fchat to the contrary but Ferrari cars can experience rain and dare I say snow without incident! I love this car!

    Nice! I've been making the drive from Tampa to DC and back twice a year for the last 3 years now. A little mileage, rain, and lovebug goop never hurt anyone :)

    Lovebugs just flew over my car... The aerodynamics are so good on the Ferrari I guess. Driving the RV, Mercedes S500, or the wifes Touareg results in 100's (certain times of year 1000's) of love bugs splattered to the front but the Ferrari just shoots them right over the roof line.

    DC to Florida sounds like a nice drive in the Fcar. I did Florida to NY in my old NSX and I think it was 16 hours straight only stopping for food, gas, occasional bathroom break.

    We just drove back in our 328 on Saturday from San Gimignano in Tuscany to Warsaw, Poland. We were there with the Fchat European section's Tuscany Tour. Earlier we were at the 60th anniversary event in Maranello. Exactly 1000 miles in 17 hours - 6 a.m. to 11 p.m.

    The week trip was over 3000 miles in total. 328 didn't miss a beat all trip. Had the week of a lifetime ;-)

    Just to be clear; did anything break, malfunction, or otherwise stop working as intended?

    :D
