BY TEHANI SCHNEIDER • DAILY RECORD

Behind the wheel of a speeding BMW, Dave Maher glimpsed the Arch in St. Louis around daybreak and felt a rush of adrenaline as he and his driving partner inched closer to their goal.

“(Seeing it) kind of gave you a little sense of life, and the sun was coming up,” recalled Maher, 33, of New York City. “We were pushing hard the whole night.”

In a flash, the famed landmark was gone as the BMW whizzed west toward its destination. Maher and his partner, renowned rally race driver Alex Roy, were on their way in October 2006 to breaking the transcontinental driving record from New York City to Los Angeles.

The Ferrari California: Coming Soon to Vulcan

vulcan — Sun, 17 Aug 2008 14:17:38 +0000

We’re pleased to announce that the forthcoming addition of the Ferrari California to the Vulcan Motor Club fleet in early 2009.

The Ferrari California is a modern interpretation of a treasured classic, the Ferrari 250 GT California. The 2009 Ferrari California channels the appeal of the original, and caps it off with the convenience of retractable hard top. The official unveiling will happen at the Paris Auto Show in September.

The California carries with it three notable items. Notable item one is a retractable convertible hard top. If you’ve ever seen a Ferrari 360 Modena Spider with its cloth top up, it just doesn’t feel right. With the California, it looks just as good with the top up or down. Notable item two is roominess, for example, its ability to transport multiple snowboards…and that’s according to Ferrari. Notable item three is Ferrari’s placement of the engine in front of the vehicle, which is significant because it enables notable items one and two.
