Wut up guys, forgot to mention an AMAZING experience I had at the end of may. You guys ever hear of Gotham Dream Cars? If not check out their site theyre an exotic car rental based outta NYC and they have a location in Miami too, there is nothing else like it around the NorthEast like these guys, their the greastes small group of guys who run it too. Anyways I came across it like a year ago and wanted a gift certificate to rent one for my 21st bday (since I turned 21 in Feb and thats how old you have to be to drive them). Most of their cars are 1400/day and up but they also have a DREAM CAR TOUR...where you get to drive 6 cars outta their fleet for 20-30 mins each on a crazy course they have planned, you leave from Jersey and you have city driving in normal traffic, out on the highways and we crossed into NY for all the backroads with noo traffic... Theres only 14 ppl on the tour, you get to bring one person as a passenger (my dad) and 2 employees come to be the lead car and back car. There are check points every 20 mins or so where we switched off cars and all of them were equipped with radios so we could all talk to each other while driving! The tour is only 1000 so why wouldnt u drive SIX for less then the price of one!?! Ive been waiting since December for our tour date in May and I just CANT explain...CANNOT explain how AWESOME it was...

The amount of power those cars have is insane...I literally almost MELTED when I drove the Ferrari... The tour guarantees the Ferrari and both Lambo models. Other 3 cars are random. I drove the Ferrari 355 (430 was being worked on...LAME), Lambo Gallardo/Murch, Aston Martin DB9, Maserati Granturismo, and Bentley GTC. Even at like 90mph those cars literally LIFT back and roar waaay past 100 in seconds...The Bentley surprised me beyond belief...the most luxury and comfortable ride with an insane amount of power...we were allowed to pass each other too as long as no one passed the lead car or fell behind the last car (which were a couple miles apart mosta the time). The Gallardo was the last one I drove and me and the other guy in the big daddy Lambo were going head to head down the highway.

We got an awesome lunch before tour and at the end you get a certificate, dvd, shirt, drivers pass, etc. It was an UNFORGETTABLE experience to have with my dad and I highly reccommend it to anyone thinking about something like this to do!!! Thought Id share some of the pics my dad took below from inside while driving and at the checkpoints!

That''s freakin awesome man.  They need to add a point in the tour where you stop and pick up chicks, cuz that''s the car to do it in.

first of all a belated ''Happy Bday''          .............  looks like a blast and what a great experience for you and your Dad to share!

I guess my old age is showing; as I''m surprised that they would let you guys go 90 mph with rain and wet roads........

thanks for the belated bday! The first hour or so was rainy but the last couple hours of tour was fine, roads were starting to dry up and we were only doing those speeds out on the highway..plus I had no idea that the Lambos had AWD, totally forgot that Audi is the parent company! I coulda been doing Mach1 and been fine still...haha. But oh yea thats a day I''ll NEVER forget...this isnt even a drop in the bucket of how many pictures I took...lol. And yea that was me next to my Ferrari....now u guys know the face behind the el'' Jaguar...haha.
