Default Lexus ES300 2002 test drive

I've been invited to test drive a 2002 Lexus ES300. Looks like it's going to be on an autocross course they set up at El Toro. Do you think I should sign up, just to see how the car drives??? Of course you know I'm going to be pulling up in my S2K.

Why pass up the opportunity? Sounds like fun, even if it isn't an S2K!!!

I say go for it, you might be surprised and be really impressed, or the complete opposite. I saw something similar on tv one day, and it looked like everyone was having a whole lot of fun!

Well, if you want. I wouldn't be too interested. It's an ES300. Test drive the current one, or drive a camry and image yourself in a bit more luxurious environment.

Unless you're talking about the IS300 of course.

I got an e-mail from Lexus. For those of you who are interested, send me a PM or an e-mail and I'll forward you the e-mail. It looks like other people can be invited as well.

Too bad this isn't the IS300.

Oh yeah, I forgot to add that it's free of charge. Supposedly, it's free of salesmen too. It's suppose to just be you and the car out on an autocross.
