Yup, I got that too. But for $1,200, I'll pass. I would rather go on a one week cruise.

I hope MB does another "C-Spot Drive Party" this year, just like last year's. That's a lot better than throwing away $1,200!

I would do it in a heart beat, but I have lots of stuff I can spend the extra $500-900 bucks on. Plus it's only 2.5 hours of actual behind-the-wheel time.

If they only would provide brakes and tires (just for the track)...I would take my own car for $500...lol.

Yeah that's not worth it. I believe BMW has something similar, but in the range of $4k? No thanks.
