Fuck that. 15 minutes of orientation is a part of the hour? Gas, brake, these buttons shift gears. Let's go.

LOL @ Predetermined route. Here, you can drive it around the parking lot, but don't go over 10mph!

Too much money for 45 min of driving that will leave me depressed walking away that I cant afford one.

I thought they stopped doing this a while back, interesting. Someone on here did their 2000hp tour if I remember.

they stopped renting them after that lamborghini wreck.

I rented that yellow ferrari for a day back before they stopped renting them out, it was pretty damn sweet.

$149< $379, just saying. I'd never do it for the regular price, but $150 to play in a Ferrari isn't bad. I just wish it was the 458.

I've spent $150 on worse things. I've always wanted to drive a ferrari, don't know anybody that has one, and not going to work as a valet anytime soon, so I may have to go do it.

439 bought at $149 = $65,411 ?

I wonder how many days it takes to go through 439 people. 16 hours a day 7 days a week comes to 30 days. Sounds like good money...

Do they have a "Bang your Dream yet" ?

Ask your travel agent about a plane ticket to Amsterdam.

I've done one, was a blast. The yellow F430 has the F1 trans with paddle shifters, it's not the normal manual that I drove. I thought they stopped renting them as well.

You probably don't realize it but just in tires, the clutch and brake pads it cost nearly $3 a mile to drive one of those cars. Factor in routine maintenance, depreciation (rental cars aren't worth crap), wear and tear on the interior and the inevitable broken windshield and you are closer to $10 a mile to operate one. That's assuming you don't have any kind of actual mechanical problems, if anything goes wrong with the engine or transmission you'll be out $20k+ assuming you can find the parts to fix it.

Maybe after the recall...
458 fires. Until then, NO THANKS!

I am not questioning that it doesn't cost a lot to maintain but $3 a mile seems a bit steep. If that is indeed true then this savings they are running for $149 they are actually coming out negative approximately $13,578 when all 438 drivers had their turn.

I don't see why any one above a dfwmustangs intelligence level would do something like that only to lose money..
