Roadtrip Video: /drive Showcases One Of The Most Spectacular Drives Constructed: Denver To Napa Valley, The Scenic Route!

If you are immediately put off by the supercars in this video, let us explain how good this trip is: that orange Lamborghini is a Balboni-edition Gallardo, and Valentino Balboni himself is behind the wheel. Lamborghini’s legendary test driver, in a Euro-plated Lamborghini, on a drive in the American Southwest. If that doesn’t speak to the quality of the trip that was planned here, nothing will. The roads must be good, and there had better be something else to see along the way.

I’m a fan of roadtripping. Some of my earliest long-winded writing for BangShift occurred in the forums when I had the ability to put a few thousand miles on the odometer over the course of time. It could have been something as simple as to visit a friend for Thanksgiving in San Franscisco, or something as massive as a month-long tour of the country to see many people (something I’ve been lucky enough to do twice). Every time I’ve gone, I’ve reinforced a belief I’ve held since I was a kid: if you want scenery when you drive, then the American west is for you. And I’m not alone in that belief, as /drive showcases in this film. The route is simple: Denver to Napa Valley via Telluride, Colorado; Park City, Utah; Zion National Park, Utah; Las Vegas, Nevada; Death Valley, California; and Mammoth Lakes, California. The goal here isn’t to show off the cars. It’s to show off what you are missing by staying home. There is a beautiful land out there, and if you are unable to make it out this fall, then use the winter to plan a trip for next spring or summer. Do some research, find some destinations, and go. Trust me, you won’t regret it.
