White Lines, blue skies, Kiwi summer roadies are baaaack, baby! š
While Omicron did its best to steamroll our road trip plans last summer, this year weāre making up for lost time. Festivals are back, the beach is calling and weāre fresh out of excuses not to drive four hours to see the in-laws at Christmas. š š¤¶ Yep, itās time to crank up the ultimate summer road trip playlist and get the wheels rollinā.

It could be just as hard to get your hands on a new Lambo this summer. Lamborghini (owned by Volkswagen Group) says theyāve also sold out of new cars through into 2024. Perhaps thatās why the car maker has branched out to selling a collection of NFTsā¦ āthough the āEpic Road Tripā NFT project might be a little late to the party. Trading volumes in NFTs are down 97% from their 2022 peak, back when you could simply blow up a Lamborghini and flog off the pieces as NFTs. š¤·
Both Ferrari and Lamborghini brands are symbols of gas guzzling high performance sports cars, but have been slow to gain traction when it comes to going green. In the race for all-electric vehicles (EVs), the companies are laps behind competitors like Tesla (TSLA). Ferrari expects to introduce its first EV in 2025, while Lamborghini is aiming for 2028. Until then, the cars might be as elusive as our search for Goody Goody Gum Drops ice cream this summer. š¦
