This should actually be the last picture in the story of our dream car tour because this is the AFTER photo of Daniel's happy face :) No words can truly explain my feelings about this experience we shared together. I am beyond grateful and happy that we created an opportunity for Daniel to pursue his passion, meet people who thrive in this car world too, and that I was able to join him in his adventures. :)
This is the OMG that was amazing face! :)
20,000 square foot PALACE anyone? We'll throw in the lambo at this point. :)
Unbelievably ecstatic...jumping out of his skin at this point. Here we're in the LP 640 coupe driving back roads and getting close to the expressway...he hadn't even gotten to put that peddle down yet and look at that smile!
Filming crew...nuts. That's all I have to say. He was nuts.
Getting ready to be gracefully whipped around by Mr. Balboni :)
Im driving over the bridge!
This was my turn through Bare Mountains in NY. Gorgeous drive!
I had nerves like I have never had before...cant you tell!!!?!?! :) I LOVED DRIVING THIS CAR. Very hard to drive the taurus after that! But I have always had a love for speed and I crave more of this now! My turn was too short! Ok, next year we'll go again! :) ha ha!
Can hardly contain himself! Cant wait to start driving! NERVOUS!!!!!!!!! WOAH!
The famous Valentino Balboni and happy Daniel shaking hands - so excited to drive!
An eject button for when you arent appreciating your passenger anymore!!!!....ok JUST KIDDING. :) This is the engine start button. Cool huh!?
Doors swing up to open! Cool!
Since the pictures are in reverse order, this is the BEFORE happy face on the day we are going on the Dream Car tour.
Montclair New Jersey where we stopped for dinner and a movie on a rainy day :)
We saw Oceans and it was so inspiring!
An amazing all vegetarian Chinese restaurant that tasted incredible! The seitan faux meats were incredible and sure fooled us!
Their message was:
"You are what you eat. As people become more conscious about their health, vegetarian food has become a very popular and healthy alternative to the traditional foods we have been eating. The chefs here at Veggie Heaven use an eclectic array of ingredients in our vegetarian dishes to simulate the appearance and aroma of Chinese cuisine's favorite meats and fish. All our dishes are prepared entirely with vegetables and vegetable derivatives. Our "meat", "poultry" and "seafood" are made from ingenious blends of bean curd, taro root, wheat gluten, mushrooms, yams and other vegetables. Moreover, we only use pure olive oil and other healthy, nutritional vegetable oils, we do not use MSG, artificial preservatives or flavorings. In other words, we serve 100% natural vegetarian cuisine with no cholesterol, and no saturated fat. A meal with healthy food will make you feel good and happy."
Celebrating Rob's birthday at a rooftop bar overlooking Manhattan. We were so lucky and excited that we happened to be here for his birthday and could get together! He graciously came out of his dorm to spend time with us and show us this lovely location and view after he had been locked in his apartment for 2 weeks straight studying for his med exams!
Fabulous vegan dinner in SoHo.
Greenwich Village
The cocktail party to welcome Mr. Valentino Balboni. Unfortunately, due to the vulcano his flight was delayed 9 hours and we didnt get to meet him that night. It was alright because the best time to meet him was driving his gallardo anyway!
A photo of the table I am destined to have in my home :) Looking forward to it...though a bit more polished up maybe?
The LP 550 Valentino Balboni limited edition Gallardo
