Default Wait! what? this is a deal?

The boston globe spinoff Boston.com has a groupon clone.

I just got this "deal" for driving high performance cars.
ok so it's a ferrari for 3 laps at an autocross course in the parking lot of gillette stadium.

the "deal" is for $149.... for 3 laps.... in a parking lot..... what???
are you sh^**ing me?

perhaps if that we're for seat time in last years F150 Italia F1 car, ok you got a deal.
or perhaps a lap of the 'Ring. or 3 laps at Mosport....

but auto crossing in a parking lot? really?


A few years aback I got an invite from Porsche for the "Prime experience. "
Same place,
2 laps in, a cayman, a cayman S, a Cayenne, a Cayenne S, a 911, a Boxster and a Boxster S.
Cost? FREE!!!!!


so is it me??? Am I lost or what?
or have i just gotten so old that I don't get "it" anymore?

You still get it, but you also get tuition bills.

I don't think you are lost, if that's a deal, then it's a raw deal...
I understand paying big bucks to drive an exotic, but in a parking lot, that I do not get, at all
The funny thing is though, I bet they will have no problem selling those tickets

+1 got me one of those last year for the holidays. I spent 8 mins. driving a Ferrari 360 with some "young man" screaming at me that I was driving too fast. Not really worth the money.
