Default Played hooky from work for a bit yesterday in LV

Pretty fun way to spend ten bucks. You plunk down your cash, pass a breathalyzer, show your license and choose from a few new cars to drive.

Two courses: The first is a psuedo auto-x style course and the other is a crazy offroad style course. I was positive I was going to roll the H2 on the offroad course.

You get two laps on the road course and one on the offroad (or any combination of the two) you like.

They had two MT cars - a CTS-V and a Solstice. The Corvettes were all autos.

I chose the CTS-V and an H2. Good fun and for me better than gambling.


They make you keep the Traction Control on but the guy was cool with me hanging the tail out with a little power oversteer. yeehaw! Car is definitely softer than the S4. Clutch/shifter not as bad as I expected.
















It was hilarious driving up this mini-wall. Just take it to 1200 RPM and it goes over




Just before we got to a crazy roll angle or whatever offroaders call it...





Took the car pretty much up to the top edge of the banking

Wait... you got to do all that for 10 bucks? That doesn't even buy a movie ticket up here.

Seems like you'd burn at least $10 of their gas doing that

Sounds like way more seat time than an Auto-x weekend though

It was crazy. If I had more time I would have spent about fifty bucks thrashing every car they had.

It is a lot of seat time for 10 bucks. And I bet I did burn up at least that much in gas!

Still love the sound of a small block V8. They are suppsed to get 6MT Vettes later this year.

No Z06 though.

Did you flip off the H2?

Too bad no H1, those are even more interesting.

All GM products? Probably factory sponsored.

Definitely factory sponsored. H1 would have been much cooler but I think they are now going the way of the dodo bird.

I forgot to flip the vehicle off before I got in.

Why anyone would want the H2 as a daily driver is far beyond my comprehension.
