Owner of the Week – Kevin Wolverton

Posted

This guest post comes from Kevin Wolverton, an active local enthusiast and blogger, who has put on a lot of high quality miles on his new Lamborghini Gallardo.  He regularly makes trips from Pennsylvania to car shows, meets, and cruises all around the Mid-Atlantic and he wanted to share some of his own thoughts about being a member of the local car community and his first year with his raging Italian steed. Here are his words…

As the ‘driving season’ winds down, I have the last 5 months of ownership to look back on. With delivery in the beginning of June, I had no idea what to expect throughout the summer.

I knew I would enjoy driving my car, but I had no idea all the great people I would meet and all of the incredible cars that I would see at so many different events and drives.

I would have loved owning and driving my car in a vacuum of the outside world, but the friends and camaraderie have been such huge parts of my overall enjoyment of my car. Thanks to all of you that I’ve talked to on here and on 6speedonline and ferrarichat, all of you that I’ve been lucky enough to meet in person, and especially those whose events and drives I’ve been invited to be a part of.

Looking back, it’s easy to see how I went from 7,500 miles at delivery to yesterday tipping over 14,400:

June – My first ever C&C, at Katie’s, the weekend after I got my car, Katie’s C&C, M-fest in Baltimore, EuroSport DC drive, Le Belle Macchine d’Italia – Poconnos

July – C&C, BullRun#2 to Frederick, MD, Lancaster Polo Club Event, BR#3 to Boonsboro, MD

August – Motors at Marrakesh in DC, BR#4 to Fairfield, PA

September – Baltimore Grand Prix, BR#5 to Shepardstown, WV, Mason-Dixon Rally, Cigars and Scotch at Panache

October – Katie’s C&C, Camp Hill C&C, Adams Detailing Clinic in Mechanicsburg, PA, BR#6 to Summit Point Motorsports Park, WV, Katie’s C&C, Brunch at Brix, Amish Run #2

November – Frosty Balls Drive

I had no idea there were so many meets and drives happening around here. It is a great way to truly ‘drive’ your car as well as hang out with some pretty cool people. To anyone out there who enjoys their car in relative solitude, you have a lot of amazing opportunities just beyond the driveway.
