I just got the coolest promotional offer ever. I get to test drive a Ferrari 360 Spyder, BMW M6, Corvette Z06, Aston Martin V8 Vantage and the Lamborghini Gallardo coupe for 30 minutes each, by myself, on a series of deserted country roads. How freaking cool is that? Anybody have experience with these cars? I've never driven anything nearly as nice and am already half-jokingly planning on how to escape from the event organizers once I get on the open road. And now to watch Gone In 60 Seconds about a dozen times... Posted by Strider (Member # 1807) on :
you suck.
How the heck did you manage to get that offer?

Heh, I know, I know. I'm an event manager and there's a company that is offering the same basic package for corporate and private events. They're giving all of the event planners in the area a chance to try out their cars for free, in hopes of us drumming up business for them.
Drive Your Dream. I didn't want to post that at first, cause I thought it might be viewed as spam.

Be careful! Before you know it, we'll be discussing the morality involved in driving a $100,000 car, when a $500 clunker will get you from point A to point B just as easily!
*ducks to avoid shrapnel from inevitable argument*
On a serious note, Vonk, I'd LOVE to have the chance to drive some of those cars, even if I'd never buy them. Lucky stiff!

That sounds like way too much fun!! You have to be sure to tell us all about it! Posted by Krankykat (Member # 2410) on :
30 minutes each. Sounds like a blast. What's happens if you lose track of time or "get lost" for a while?
