What do you drive on vacation?

Cyndee and I went to the Lodge the other day to attend a presentation by an "Artist in Residence".  We were going to watch him fuse glass to metal with the final product being a fine piece of art.

But first we had to walk the length of the very long Lodge parking lot.  A little something we like to do is look at all the license plates and see where everyone drove in from.  We see plates from all over, even ones from places that they could not have possibly driven from such as Hawaii and several countries in western Europe.  But on this day a couple of cars behind the plates caught our attention.

One, a favorite of Cyndee's, was a Ferrari Testorosa.


And then there is this:


A 1930 Bentley.

Keep in mind that it is not just a Sunday leisure drive to get to the North Rim.  Six hours from Las Vegas, five hours from Flagstaff, nine and half from Phoenix, and eight from Salt Lake City.  Nope, not just a spur of the moment decision to drive to the North Rim.  A Ferrari is not exactly a luxury ride, it's focus is on being a street legal race car and the Bentley is a slow ride in an open cockpit through wind-blown sand and barely filtered sunlight at high elevation.  These folks really want to drive their pride-and-joy's.  Can't say I blame them, either one of these would be a cool way to do a road trip.
