What was your first experience test driving?

I first test drove a Z at Carmax. I did only a little spirited driving, but noticed that the turn radius was wider than I'd expected, the car didn't get loose easily in turns, I was unimpressed with SRM, and I noticed that the car didn't feel like it was going as fast as it actually was ("Holy sh*t I'm doing 80?")

But my favorite test drive was the Camaro. First, the dealership is located around some of the nicest driving roads in the state, so I was amped to go drive it there. But I didn't get the chance. There was a car flipped on the other side of the road, so my immature salesman begged me to slow down so he could snap a pic with his camera, and then told me that we needed to get back soon so he could show his buddies. To top it off, the plastic on the interior was peeling. This car was brand new.
