    I've always wanted it and now I got it. My first Ferrari. June 6th 2008 A.D. Black 2000 Ferrari 550 Maranello.

    The very next day started for EuroTrip2008. Me and my girlfriend. Startingpoint Tallinn, Estonia.
    Then Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Germany, Swizerland, Lichtenstein, Italy, San Marino, France, Monaco, Andorra, Belgium, Luxembourg and Germany again. Took ferry from Rostock, because Poland roads are that bad. Bottom front cover must have hit the road hundreds of times. Was stopped by Police two times, first in Poland (67km/h in 40 area - no fine, because officer was unable to tell me that in english :)) and second time in Germany, somewhere in Bavaria (149 in 100km/h area -- 120 euro fine). I never go to France with this registration number, because was captured on speed cameras countless times. no fines have arrived so far (but somtimes it was almost double the limit :)).
    Best places to drive: no limit German highways, Swiss Alps and seaside road from Monaco to Nice.

    trip lasted over two weeks and totalled 8100 km.

    Spotted few other ferraris.
    for example one near lake carda in italy:

    Spotted environmentalist near La Rochelle:

    he wasn't particularly happy to see my 20-liters-per-100km :)

    For summer 2009 I'm plannin US road trip. From NY to Florida and from there to California. But not with Ferrari, but oldtimer (50s, 60s or 70s classic... Cougar, Impala or something like that). Not sure, are they available for rent somewhere in NYC?
