Who wants to drive a Lamborghini/F430/Aston Martin V8 around Summit Point for $99?

b1adesofcha0s · 04-23-2012, 03:57 PM

Well it's cheaper than buying an actual Lambo/Ferrari so I'll take it for now. Given my limited experience with driving a stick, this should be fun

m4a1mustang · 04-23-2012, 04:05 PM

Neat but I agree with Rob. Waste of money. It'd be a better value to pay $800 for the day to rent one. At least then you get 100 miles.

b1adesofcha0s · 04-23-2012, 04:10 PM

Ah well it's too late now I already bought it. Besides, it's much easier for me to throw down $100-200 on this right now than to blow $800 on it for a day + the speeding/reckless driving tickets I would get from driving it on the streets

I'm gonna do this on May 19th if I can. The Saturday after finals are over and the day before graduation. Can't think of a better way to end my undergraduate career than driving a Lambo/Ferrari around a race track, even if it is only for 2 laps. You also get a 2 lap ride around the track in a Cayenne with an instructor driving. Not much, but hey it's something

You got a GoPro to use?

Nope. It's on my list of stuff to eventually get

My sister wants to come with me to watch so she can probably make a video from the outside. Maybe I can borrow someone's GoPro to use for the car? I should probably contact them to see if we're even allowed to do so.

I have a GoPro, but its non-HD. You're welcome to use it none-the-less, though.

And I certainly don't see why it wouldnt be allowed.

Different strokes for different folks. But like everybody else except Shahid, its a complete waste of money to me. Like steve said, much better deal to spend 800 and rent one for an entire day.

I hope its worth it though for you Shahid.

Cool, I'll let you know if I need it.

I hope so too

Shahid, go have a blast!

lazywolfe · 04-25-2012, 01:02 PM

I'm figuring out how many laps to buy. I don't think see how it's a complete waste of money, but *shrug*.

4r3s · 04-25-2012, 01:34 PM

Its only a complete waste of money if you just bought a house and/or you have a ton of debt already. Shahid you're going to have a blast!

Hope so guys! I've decided to pick the Lamborghini LP-560 as my exotic of choice. Should be fun. I've thought about actually buying that as my next car in a couple years, but buying a house probably kills that plan. At least I can enjoy it now

I think its a waste of money in the bang-for-the-buck perspective, is all. You can pay $99 to drive a car for a whole 2 minutes or so maybe, or $350 to drive your own car for almost 2 hours and actually learn something :-p lol

lazywolfe · 04-25-2012, 01:53 PM

Just bought some laps. Maybe we can make a mini meet out of this? Did you definitely sign up for the 19th Shahid?
