    Great to see you're having fun and congrats with the car !
    I was wondering : On your way home. Do you stay in specific hotels where you can park your car inside or do you just park outside ?

    These cars are awesome and meant to be driven like race cars. Most troubles begin from either not driving them enough or or not driving them hard enough. They are incredibly precise machines with super tight tolerances, engineered for redline shifting, pedal to the metal driving, and most of all...maximum fun. Just remember to warm her up properly before getting on her too hard! :)

    Most of all, enjoy the experience. Remember...it's a Ferrari!!! I still pinch myself every time I get behind the wheel! Cheers!

    Funny you should ask. Finding hotels with a garage that were along the route was the logistical challenge here. I did manage to get a good route sorted that didn't involve driving more than 9 hrs per day staying at hotels with garages.

    I remember when I had a 360 for 4 days (rental), and I too took my brother for a ride, and until this very day, he speaks about how ridiculous the drive was and he remembers it like it was yesterday!

    You guys look so relaxed on the drive!

    Have fun, and make the memories! Gods speed!

    p.s. thanks for sharing your adventure with us!

    Fantastic car and adventure. Keep the pics coming. Let's see a little more of that interior. I too have a 6 speed manual with sport seats, it gets no better in my humble opinion!

    We stopped in Helena MT tonight, took a long nap in the afternoon. I LOVE the car, but it is fairly tiring to drive such long distances.

    Montana kind of "flew by" :), we did experience a bunch of things today:
    - Deer crossed the road a couple of cars in front of us.
    - Camper blew out a tire a car in front of us.
    - A mile of gravel in the highway to Helena.

    I also had a random guy ask me to take a picture of him inside the car. I politely declined.

    A few more pics:

    We finally made it home! The trip was fantastic and trouble free. Bonus points, we didn't get a single ticket nor pulled over. What an experience!
    Car had 5K miles when I got it. It now has 7.7K miles :D
