Default Breaking In - Vegas

A friend and I got a chance to put some miles on our new beasts - we started the day with <50 miles on the odometer and ended up with over 200 in less than a couple of hours. If you haven't driven off the Strip to Lake Mead and the Valley of Fire, I would highly recommend it. Only 30 minutes off the Strip. Super smooth roads, fast sweeping turns (watch out for the Park Rangers), and not a stop sign for miles. And some amazing rock formations and topography.

Brilliant day with brilliant cars.....

Vegas resident here. Will have to join you in my 3RS next time you go if you wouldn’t mind. Have some shots there with my first CS about 5 years ago.

I fly out to Vegas for work often, and am stuck on the strip with all the drunk tourists. Maybe next time I'll rent something sporty from hertz and do a shout-out to the Vegas Rennlisters to see who wants to play gearhead tour guide?
