Mazda is holding a special event...if you are nearby you should definitely go...
and get instructed by a professional on driving the RX-8...using their test car (yippie!)
you can Test drive the new Miata on a Track, and much more.
You need the latest version of Macromedia Flash to view the site, enjoy!:

(you'll here much more press about it later...thought I'd give you a heads up to get first on the list!)
This may be a repost...if it is sorry and delete this thread

We've been discussing this in the West Forum as well. A few of us are going.
I'm also going to the GM Auto Show In Motion. I want to drive a Vette and a Hummer.
I know, GM is not ZoomZoom, but I still want to race a Vette against the clock.

i didn't bother with the hummers/trucks because i really don't care about them.
and for the car test drive, there is a 35mph speed limit and no crazy stuff allowed, like drifting. they can kick you out for violating these. they can also kick out anyone that's there with you.
i drove the gto. it has a nice exhaust note, and is kinda comfy, but it is a fat, bloated pig, and drives like it too. also, the one i drove was yellow, and if you don't know about the gto, the instrument cluster is the same color as the car's exterior...yellow speedo, white numbering. bad combo. anyways. the "track" that you get to drive around takes all of 20-30 seconds to complete.
after that we went and got in line for the vette. line moved much quicker. you could also choose the cadi cts-v instead of the vette if you wanted. hop in, there is an "instructor" sitting next to you. no speedlimit, but no drifting. so you pull up to the start line, gun it, shift to 2nd (in the MT), then you come up to a sweeping left turn, then a box corner, then you are done. 20 seconds tops. no one timing you.
now, i'm not saying you shouldn't go. its free. you get to drive all the "normal" vehicles you want, but you can only drive the premium sports once (vette or cts-v) and you can only drive the hummer once. also, there is free lunch. sandwich, drink, chips, apple, cookie. and when you leave, provided you didn't get kicked out, you get a bag with a shirt and a few other marketing type things.

Damn...nowhere near me at all.
I have done the GM event and also the Daimler-Chrysler events in the past. The jeep was fun to test as you actually drove it on a 4x4 course complete with ruts, rocks, tree trunk bridge and big hills.
The last GM one I went to wasn't so fun. 35mph limit was there and you couldn't jam on the brakes or anything. Was disappointing. They did let you get a little crazier with the Crossfire...it is a fun little car, but I like the Miata better.

If you think that sucks.. try living 3 minutes away from it and turning 18 in less than 2 weeks from when the event takes place! Why did they have to start in SF?!
