We were in the Dolomites of Northern Italy. We had rented a Mercedes B Class from Auto Europe (Auto Europe is our go to rental car) and were traveling to Val Gardena. I passed a crossroads and turned a corner and was suddenly behind around eight or ten Porsches. There were another dozen or so that fell in behind me. I realized that I was in the middle of a road rally. Even though the Mercedes was black - the same color as the Porsches - I was no match on those twisting mountain roads. I made it a mile or so before I realized I was not only out of my league but I was also starting to wonder if I would fly off a cliff. Then I saw it. A turn out lay ahead and I took it. Zoom. The Porsches went by in a flash. Marietta McLellan, co-pilot, took the above photo through the windshield. Next time I will rent a Ferrari in Italy.
