Test Driving
So I have decided to go on another test driving binge recently which I started last night.
Nissan 370Z Touring. It sure is a blast to drive but got damn $39K and it isn't even the Gran Touring? I felt guity for letting myself get so excited from Jap crap.
Acura TL SH-AWD. This was the most fun car I drove last night. Wow. The way I could push that car so damn hard around every single turn . . . what a contrast to my stang with a live rear and s/c'ed V8. It handled amazingly. I was WOT all the way around an off-ramp. It gives me chills to think how well it handled.
Challenger SRT8. It's a 6.1L V8. Of course it was fun. Not as sexy as I'd thought it would be. Fun to be behind the wheel of but I just don't trust those Mopar guys.
I'll be playing in more cars Friday. Oh, it is way too much fun to be free. I swear there is nothing better to do when you have time but won't spend money

HAHA, how funny would that have been. You are with the salesmen about to go on the test drive and you casually say "oh, can you hold on a sec?" go to your car and come back helmet in hand. LOL, they probably be scared to death.

Re: Test Driving
Ooh, I'd love to test drive me a Porsche. Poor salesman would never know what hit him.
Re: Test Driving
Ohhh, I am so bringing the helmet and I'll do that when I go to Lexus. I really want to test drive the ISF and see how that 8 speed tranny is. Actually, I better do that with a car I don't really care about driving, like a Honda or something . . .
Of course they "thought" I was in the market or they wouldn't have let me behind the wheel. I do want a nice daily driver but there are so few powerful American luxury cars and it will be a few months before I actually shell out the cash. Only one I can think of is the CTS-V.

Re: Test Driving
Does anyone else test drive cars for fun? I mean, some cars are ones I wish I had and others I just drive so I can more thoroughly trash them.

Re: Test Driving
When I was 18 I took a side job as a salesperson for Annapolis Nissan. They said I needed to get used to the inventory so they gave me the keys to every car. I beat on every car they had on the lot .
Although a week later when the manager of Circuit City brought the tape over of me doing donuts in his parking lot, with a Sheehy Nissan Sticker across the windshield, they were not too happy about that... I sold enough cars to keep my job... but I quit 2 months later... I hated that job...

Re: Test Driving
Depends on the dealership. Sometimes they go with. Sometimes they don't.

depends on the car's value mainly, aside from whether or not they feel they can trust you alone in it.

Re: Test Driving
The last car I test drove for fun was a AMG Mercedes and it was a monster. It was the mid size on not sure if it was a CLK. If I had 90K+ to drop on a car that would be it. I could not believe the power it had and she was smothe as silk. it was during the summer and this thing has heated and cooled seats. Outside of the performance it was nice to have a car that blows cool air on your but in the summer.
