Boy, does this look like fun.

You and Jay can do that for free!

 

My car is in storage, so I'll have to use Jay's car. Works for me.

 

I just got that an email for that this morning... looks interesting

 

It's short notice or I'd do it. Wife even gave me permission!

 

I do a similar drive to that every day on my way to work and to the ski hill on the weekends. ;-) ....but I don't do it in my Jaguar.

I suspect a great many of us got that same email. But I posted it anyway.

 

$3900 not including airfare? No thanks.

 

To be fair it looks like a lot of driving, lunches, dinners and nice hotels. Doesn't seem outrageous to me.

 

I'm wondering how they decided who to send the invitations to.

 

1) Drove the F-Type to work today, 60 miles round-trip (and while the roads are pretty clear of snow, there's still plenty of ice...and I actually drifted a few times today).

2) Had a fabulous lunch today at Paciarino.

3) Dinner was equally outstanding at Emilitsa.

4) No hotel necessary.

5) Repeat on Friday.

 

It looks like a blast! Is anyone going? Seriously considering it!

 

Very conveniently located! We in Vegas really need this!

 

Lamborghini offers it

 

I think I'll sign up for Lambo's course instead

 

Just checked my email and mine was in spam.

If I were to take the trip, it would be because of wanting to see Sweden as opposed to wanting to drift on snow/ice.

Sweden looks absolutely gorgeous and im not talking about the women.

 

I have received the invitation as well, and it's not that far away from where I live. Unfortunately the timing is bad for me, so I will have to wait for another opertunity - preferable in summer time on dry and sticky tracks

 

I came to post, if anyone from HQ is listening, to get your act together. I've got money to burn on crap like this, and I will always, always visit family outside of Stockholm, and layover in Iceland. Always.

The idea they gave me 25 days to go from "finding out it exists" to "being there" is the most absurd thing I've seen in quite awhile. As if any of us have such droll and uneventful lives that we can plan life mere weeks in advance? Come on. This thing has been on the books for more than a year, and we should have *AT LEAST* 6 month notice. Maybe I missed an earlier email, but I am sort of hoping this email blast wasn't the initial one, but just a last ditch effort to fill a few slots.

Oh man, getting this email miffed me (edit of dramatic "infuriated me")... and that is literally the opposite thing you want to do with an email blast. I would have gone if it was 3-5 months notice. But 25 days?

Marketing needs to have a meeting about their meetings.
