Ownership Verified: "MIGLIA" Road Trip Machine for nugget and equiraptor

[Nugget]

We just returned from a 3,909 mile (6,290km) California coast road trip. While on the trip we passed the 1 year anniversary of the car's delivery and hit 20,000 miles (32,186km) on the odometer.

This was mostly a trip to visit and reconnect with friends in California, but we did manage to visit a few cool places and go on some great canyon drives. We took the Pacific Coast Highway north between LA and the Bay Area, weather permitting.

We visited both Laguna Seca and Buttonwillow, although didn't get to drive on either track. Staff at both tracks were enthusiastic about the car and we probably would have gotten to drive Buttonwillow even without helmets, but they were actually working on the track while we were there

The Portofino has now been to both coasts

One of our Everyday Driver friends organized a great canyon drive with us and a few other locals in the hills surrounding LA

We also went "full denim" while in LA

The stats are awesome! Thanks for the conversion to rest-of-the world.

Fuck you, €1,01/L... Fuck you.

So awesome to see such a car being used!

Fuck you, €1,01/L... Fuck you.

That number is actually skewed since it includes a lot of California and East coast fill-ups. Here in Texas the last tank I bought was at €0,88/L

I'm glad that you actually drive the thing instead of putting it away in a garage.

O hai, I got the 411 from Buttonwillow! Heh. It's a fun track. Definitely go back and drive it sometime.

I still can't believe we've crossed paths so many times and haven't managed to grab a drink or something!
It's been great to see all the miles under your tires, I'm glad to see the car being driven and not slowly rotting waiting for the next cars & coffee.

Any time you're in central Texas...

We decided not to do the Everyday Driver Utah event this year, but maybe next year we'll do that again.
