Default last years Christmas present

My daughter is always looking for ways to surprise me so I got an "OXOTIC driving experience" for Christmas last year. Oddly enough I waited until the day before Thanksgiving to go for the drive.

The facility is in Golden, Colorado which is pretty much in the mountains. This was only a 15 mile drive so I wasn't expecting much but I was pleasantly surprised. The lead driver takes you on a drive through a canyon of twist and turns. I was never able to go more than 45 and frankly I didn't have the "nads" to goose this thing. I would say for the most part we did 35-37 and the two Lamborghini's in front of me (I was last) were constanly breaking the speed limit.

I barely fit in this car, I am 6'7" and a little portly. I have to tell you for a guy that is nearly 62 I had a blast. I think if I had one of these I'd have to have someone rev limit it for several months so I could get used to it, I could tell it was faster than I was.

Cool!

Good thing you took the Porsche, they would have had to shoehorn you in a Lambo!
