The Lundgren family is driving a 36,000-mile Ferrari Enzo from Boston to Los Angeles, roughly 3,200 miles and more than 55 hours behind the wheel.The journey is part of the Luxury Rally Club's Rally To Monterey Car Week and raises funds for the Cam Neely Foundation, which supports cancer patients and their families.Donations have already passed 14,000 dollars, with the car now past the halfway point and closing in on California. Most Ferrari Enzos live sad, sedentary lives. They sit in climate-controlled garages, gaining value and losing purpose, emerging once a year to be trailered somewhere and photographed. Which is why this story is such a tonic. The Lundgren family, Larry and Julien, are currently driving their Enzo from Boston to Los Angeles. Not shipping it. Driving it. All 3,200 miles or so, representing more than 55 hours of seat time in a car with the sound insulation of a biscuit tin. Better still, this particular Enzo already has 36,000 miles on the clock, which by Enzo standards makes it a high-mileage workhorse. And the whole thing is for a genuinely good cause. A V12 With a Purpose on the Road to Monterey The drive forms part of the Luxury Rally Club's Rally To Monterey Car Week, the annual migration of serious machinery toward the Pebble Beach peninsula. But rather than simply joining the convoy, the Lundgrens are using the journey to raise money for the Cam Neely Foundation, a nonprofit that supports cancer patients and their families with care and accommodation during treatment.The response has been immediate. Donations have already exceeded 14,000 dollars, and the total continues to climb as the car works its way west. At last report, the Enzo had cleared the East Coast, powered through the Midwest and was closing in on California, presumably leaving a trail of startled onlookers and hastily raised phone cameras across a dozen states. There is something quietly wonderful about all of this. The Enzo was Ferrari's tribute to its founder, a 6.0-liter V12 monument built in tiny numbers, and the collector market has spent two decades treating each one like a Faberge egg. Yet here is one being used precisely as its maker intended, crossing an entire continent, gathering road grime and bug splatter, and doing more good in a fortnight than most garage queens manage in a lifetime. If you happen to be anywhere in Northern California over the coming days, keep your ears open. A naturally aspirated Ferrari V12 at full song is unmistakable at half a mile, and this one is singing for a very good reason. Should the noise move you, the fundraising remains open, and every mile it covers is a small argument that the best thing you can do with a great car is drive it.
