I Groupon'd a one hour drive in a Lamborghini Gallardo for my dad on his birthday. We went yesterday to redeem it. Even with the crappy weather he had a blast. It's an AWD car so there really aren't any traction issues, even on the wet streets.

They have five or six exotic cars available at any time.

They also have a museum of toy cars, pedal cars, salesman's samples, ship models, tether cars/boats, and automobile service demonstrators. Really it's just a bunch of stuff the owner likes to collect. But it was cool as hell!

More details? Was it all day, just a couple hours? Mind sharing the coupon?Originally posted by Cmarsh93zComment

I think I got a pretty good deal since it was through Groupon. But their standard rates are on the website. It's pretty damned cool to be able to drive an exotic, even if it's for just an hour.Originally posted by 347Mike View Post

Very cool. What did it cost?Comment

Lambo/Ferrari pricing was $379 on site. IIRC It is for 45 minutes and with a driving instructor. Still cool, though and that price doesn't seem horrible.Originally posted by Steve View PostOriginally posted by Cmarsh93zComment

I paid a lot less than that.
Sorry if my posts seem like a schizophrenic mess, but really... that's kinda how the museum is organized. lolWhen the government pays, the government controls.Comment

Do they let you drive the cars aggresively at all? Or is it just slowly cruising around?Comment

Well you can't drive it around at 200mph.
But "I heard" that the Lamborghini can get up to 130 pretty quickly.When the government pays, the government controls.Comment

So do they really have someone driving around with you? If you paid a lot less than that I would be interested in going. Iwould rather go with a friend though than some joe shmoe car rep.Originally posted by 46Tbird View PostOriginally posted by Cmarsh93zComment

Yeah, that 4-hour event with four different cars looks like fun, but $700 bucks - eek!Comment

Good luck finding a place that will let random people loose on a city in a 200+mph quarter-million-dollar car. They do ride with you as a passenger.Originally posted by 347Mike View PostWhen the government pays, the government controls.Comment

When I did www.worldclassdriving.com , they only rode shotgun in the Ferrari 599 & Mercedes SLR, due to insurance reasons. The other cars(Gallardo Superleggera, Maserati, Callaway Vette & Ford GT) my brother rode with me, and we even switched-off on driving a few cars. He didn't even have a driver's license! They basically said that if we got a ticket or whatever, it was our responsibility. This was in 2008, so maybe insurance companies & policies are a little more strict on stuff like this.Originally posted by 46Tbird View PostComment
