Gonna get to drive a GTO, a Vette, a SSR, an H2...

Post by ragingfish »

I received the ultimate experience offer today.Waiting for me in my mailbox was an invitation to AutoShow In Motion. It's an opportunity to get behind the wheel of more than 100 of the hottest new vehicles...and no pressure to buy.They have special courses set up for each vehicle type: Corvette, SUV (simulates real off-roading conditions), luxury, pickups, etc.Then, you get to do it all over again, behind a different car. They'll have cars from GM of course, as well as Honda, Ford, Toyota, BMW, Crapler...I mean Chrysler, Lexus, Dodge, Mercedes, and Nissan, and I'll get to test them all too.And YES, I plan to get behind the wheel of a Vibe GT...I'm all signed up and ready to go...and the best part is, it's on June 23rd, I get to head out to Michigan from there, and tell y'all about it!http://www.autoshowinmotion.com/Oh, and did I mention it's FREE???

Very cool! My dad won something like that at Shannonville speedway up here - although he didn't get to drive - Jim Kenzie drove (Toronto Star Wheels reporter) and Dad was a passenger. But it was cool and expensive cars so its all good.

Did you have to register somewhere to get the invitation, or did it just show up in your mailbox?

today and tomorrow at my office, we have something called "The General's Garage" going on here...They have a CTS-V, Z06, Ion Redline, H2 SUT, 9-3 turbo, XLR, and SSR. We are allowed to drive them all, so it should be pretty fun. I'm probably going to go to it tomorrow and make a day of it. Imagine a day filled with driving hot cars, and eating lunch at hooters (7 of us eat lunch at hooters on fridays, kinda like a tradition)EDIT: I just noticed on the flyer passed out about said event, that one of the contacts for this event is a non-active Genvibe member, I'll see if I can get him to become more active again
