!!! Carpe diem !!!!

Rent a Ferrari, cruise the Autobahn... something to do before you die!

On the open road...



Thisty for gas...



Heading to the Bavarian Alps towards Austria...

Castles everywhere...

Very nice but did you fully "seize the day"?

I know of one who chaned his oil and subsequently "seized" that day.

He forgot to put the oil in!!!

Oh, you have an invite private party at the Munich Audi dealership? Cool - let's go!!!



Oh year, Le Mans is racing today! I knew we were here for a good reason!!









Parked outside!!!





Wait, what? We get to slam these on the Autobahn just by giving them our drivers license?






The next day I drive the Ferrari to Inglostadt to the Audi Museum... check the Audi section for those pics (link below)...

Nice! For sure something I have to do this summer. How much was it for the rental? Could you get Lamborghinis as well?

I rented the car thru these guys...

http://www.euro-sportiva.com/

The 360 Spyder I think was around $1200 a day (keep in mind that was at a much better $/Euro exchange rate, so prob hgiher today).

Yes, they have Lambo's... Gallardo, Murci, etc. I was shooting for the 430 Spyder, but I made the reservation very last minute and it wasn't avail, so settled on the 360. The even have an Enzo.
