Capital Dream Cars - Power Tour - woot!
Has anyone here ever done this? we did the Power Tour. We had an AWESOME TIME!!! it is $795+ TAX which s cheaper than most of the exotic tour places. Plus I got to bring my son for free (some of the tours charge $250 for a passenger).
We (a friend of mine in 1 car + his friend and me and my son in another) started in Leesburg and drove about 150 miles total through lots of different roads in WV, Md and VA (near Summit, Harpers ferry, etc...). Each leg had twisty roads and high speed highway driving so you got a good feel for each car.
They have a lead car and a chase car! I didn't think they would let us drive anything like what we did. No penalties for hitting the rev limiters or anything. I sound like an advertisement but for the $ that was a great time.
I could go on and on... overall the Lambo was my favorite. Ferrari next, Aston next and the big bloated Bently last. They all had unique differences. The Aston, although the slowest had a crazy nice sounding exhaust. The Lambo had everything. speed, looks, felt great, etc.... The ferrari felt twitchy which could have been a bunch of things (tire pressure, alignment, etc..). The Bently just isn't my thing but with a 6.0L V12 twin turbo and it was moving!

Eight bills is worth it to me! Mild jealousy falling over me. 
Looks like fun.

It truely was fun. I was concerned that they woudl be pissed if we messed around.... I must have smacked the rev limiter in that Galardo 10 times... probably shifted it 400 times in the 50 minutes I was in it...
