A good mix of interesting ridesTo round out the number to an even dozen I would include the most raced car in N. America and the biggest selling roadster. This " Bay Area Miata Association " group were stopped for lunch south of San Francisco overlooking the Pacific Oceanhttp://flic.kr/p/cqZVeAand from the other side of the Pacific on the east Coast of NZ a couple of classicshttp://flic.kr/p/eiedwS

I got to admit that after the 5 hr drive to our cottage in York Beach Maine, just parking at the beach with all windows down makes us realize why that drive is worthwile. So soothing to hear the waves come in!Our Odyssey is a great "turnpike cruiser". The kids get to see the view above bridge railings and all.Heading back in a couple of weeks

We rented a 2012 GC Crew in Maui with Stow & Go back in November. Those seats were getting pretty uncomfortable during the long drive from Kanapali to Hana.

Those seats were getting pretty uncomfortable during the long drive from Kanapali to Hana.Speaking of the Hana Highway, we rented a Mazdaspeed Miata for our honeymoon in Maui - I must have driven up and down that road ten times in a couple days. but if there is one car i would pick over the Miata, it's the Boxster. That was a bucket list kind of drive.
Have to keep that in mind Jonathan, I can't find any place to rent a Miata!
Yeah, I know what you mean. I have a Gift Certificate for Exotic Car Tours in Oakville for $150, but most of their packages cost more than that. They are all super cars, don't know what to do with the Gift Certificate, would rather put that money to car maintenance. But they won't refund it, (Christmas Gift), but it is transferrable.
