race cars

There is a company in Stockholm that will let you drive really nice sports cars and with work we got a group together and had the option to drive either a Ferrari or a Lamborghini. Yes, they actually let you drive these really expensive cars (can you imagine the insurance cost???).

I got to ride in the Lamborghini. I was too much of a chicken to drive it. I respect the speed and horsepower too much and I would have gotten too nervous and bumped it somehow. There was a hefty deductible involved if you as much as put a scratch on the cars. We drove in regular city traffic (!!) so it was hard to get the cars up to real high speeds.
Our group was celebrating a project we had worked on together and while waiting for our turn driving we sat around in the sun. When everyone was done we ended the evening with a nice dinner. It was a hard day at work.

Sweet
I got to ride in a ferrari once. It was 0 to 60 in 3 seconds. Add a second or two and you'd be up to 90 mph.
It was too much.
