They give you a Thumb Drive to keep and shows the whole drive. I doubt I'll watch it often but glad I have it my instructor was SUPER SWEET, he was SO patient and understanding of my fear even gave me kudos when I DID step on it in the straight the time you whomp to the time to brake is just toooooo short IMO for a non racer like me so yeah the turns were

I’d be nervous too Mom if I knew I was on the hook for any damage. What did you think of the rari? Was it all that you thought it would be?

Hey Gina that is awesome, so glad you did it and enjoyed it, and the pictures are great.

I had no idea you could be held responsible for damage, that is what insurance is for and I always figured you would get some kind of coverage for that, I guess not eh ? That would really suck if you banged up one of those machines. But for the cost it should be covered IMO, unless someone got really stupid out there. The only thing I would worry about is oversteer under power and the rear end kicking out, too many Ferrari's crash that way. I have no worries about cornering and braking.

Lastly that area of the BA is gorgeous, I loved the rolling hills of vineyards and crossing the bay water Petaluma where they filmed some of America Graffiti and Napa & Sonoma we enjoyed several great meals

I honestly was too nervous to just chill and look around much from the seat it did feel to push that pedal down even with my hesitance hEAring what it sounded like was
I guess when I hit the LOTO I'll just finally own one like SAMMY and be able to learn it and enjoy it

You DO pay for insurance as my Son did but I'm not certain on the different types they offer
He ( the class instructor ) also mentioned that they no longer allow you to Paddle Shift as they have lost several engines due to idiots
