"         My Father and I were reminiscing again, about old friends, special cars and adventures with both. This time, we were driving the Enzo through Southern Utah on a rain-soaked April morning on our way to display it at Bridgestone&amp;#039;s Drivers Edge event in Phoenix and visit our friend, Harley Cluxton of Grand Touring Cars in Scottsdale, Arizona. Last fall, I had brought the Enzo to a Drivers Edge event in Salt Lake City, where Bridgestone was sponsoring a program that teaches young drivers proper safety techniques and how to control their vehicles in emergency situations. I like the concept, and I like the Enzo-specific Bridgestone Scuderia tires.   Harley asked about the Enzo. I said that I liked the car very much, that I had more than 10,000 miles on it and that I felt had masterfully accomplished its goal: An uncompromising modern supercar in the spirit of the incredibly successful current Formula 1 cars, appropriately named as a tribute to Enzo himself. My experience with the Enzo has shown it to be a remarkable car. One that goes exactly where it&amp;#039;s pointed, accelerating, braking and cornering in concert, at an elevated level of performance previously unknown in a road car. I reminded Harley that my car had been used for the Road &amp;amp;amp; Track (July 2003), and he confirmed that the Enzo could out-accelerate his Ferrari 330 P4 race car.   After the Road &amp;amp;amp; Track feature, I began driving the Enzo quite often, and then a lot more as we began delivering gold-plated roses around Utah as part of our Country Cirque Radio Program. This car truly needs to be exercised \u2014 especially late at night when it isn&amp;#039;t so noticeable. In August I accepted an invitation by R&amp;amp;amp;T to show the Enzo at its Monterey Historic Automobile Races display. I parlayed the event by asking my friend Sean Harris to be my co-driver in the Ferrari North America Challenge Rallye of the Sierra Nevada that preceded the Monterey Weekend. Eight hundred miles over three days with several speed stages against 50 other Ferraris on beautiful Northern California roads. It certainly helped to have the fastest car, and yes, we won.   Fellow rally participant John Pembroke asked if I would drive my car to Colorado for the Denver Grand Prix and assist in fundraising for the local Children&amp;#039;s Hospital charity. My wife and I drove there from Utah and the charity raised $7000 from donors who took a total of four hot laps around the track with me. That felt good. Late last fall the Mayor of Provo, Lewis Billings, who is an old car buddy of mine, asked how he could engender some good will with the young drivers in the area who had been earning an excessive number of tickets from his police department. As we discussed the issue, he wanted to take a ride in the Enzo, but was rightfully conscious of the local speed laws. I was, too, but for slightly different reasons and potential consequences. He came up with a very good idea by having one of the airport runways closed while we bombed down it at an indicated 180 mph (Learjets start taking off here at about 150 mph) \u2014 and stopped well in time, thanks to a little technology called carbon-ceramic brakes. Then we talked about a Drivers Edge Program for our local youth.   Great cars start to accumulate their own stories and history that allow for contemporary enjoyment, great adventures and future nostalgia. Fifteen years from now, will the Enzo hold memories like the ones my father and I have of other great cars and times? Who knows, but after 12,119 miles at 12.8 mpg with no tickets, the Enzo&amp;#039;s had a good first chapter. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
