Driving a Bentley Azure

On Saturday, Kevin and I helped out Lediya's workplace with a very important mission: drive their 1997 Bentley Azure from Long Beach to Huntington Beach. The car was very graciously donated to Interval House by a retired couple, and now Interval House is selling raffle tickets for $500 each for a chance to win the car.

Kevin tells me that the Bentley has real wool from one sheep for the carpeting, real leather from seven cows, and real wood from one tree. Bentley cultivates their own forest and raises their own sheep and cows solely for equipping their very prestigious cars.

The Bentley Azure has a very powerful 6.8L 385 bhp turbocharged V8 engine. It needs all that power too cause the car feels so massive to drive. It was fun to experience how the elite lives for once. As we drove down the 405 freeway, we got numerous stares from the "commoners" in their Hondas and Toyotas probably wondering who the heck are these two young rich guys driving in a Bentley convertible.

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that the car is worth $329,400 new.
