US Grand Tour 2022

In June 2022, I finally had the chance to take my dad to BMW Performance Driving School in southern California. We could’ve flown there, but I thought it would be more fun to do it as a road trip across the American Southwest. We saw some amazing scenery, thrashed some rental cars, and had a great time on our adventure together.

It was the father-son trip of a lifetime.
