2002 C-class event had free caps, golfballs, flexi cutting boards for the kitchen, and branded bottled water. And a public Xbox lounge.

Oh, and beating the hell out of their cars without being nagged. :thumbsup:

Porsche used to do day long driving classes with professional instructors.

Autoshowinmotion is kind of lame, but you do get a Tshirt, coupon, and a chance to drive a dozen different cars without fussing with any salesmen, and it includes lunch. For us we were able to rule out several cars, and even a crappy no tire spin drive in the vette was fun.

All of these events started with a dealer only event for sales people, a ride and drive, where they show them the features and how to pitch them during test drives.

Yeah are any of the Corvettes or GTO's available to drive with a Manual Transmission?

i went to this 3 times (it came 3 years) in oakland, CA. each year they had hummer H2s, corvettes, and an array of medium range luxury vehicles (SUVs, MB e320s, lexus gs430 etc.) and some sports cars (GTO, IS300, etc.) it was a pretty good experience everytime. GM is pretty generous in that it provides test drives, free lunch/shirts and the organization is top notch.

well.. the car was ok.
track was short. 2 tracks. kind of dissapointing as previous tracks were longer.
you get an orange Benz baseball cap.

They had Voss water(from the clear waterfalls of Norway, $5 a bottle ) and some small cheesecakes and cheesesticks.

at least it wasnt too far from chicago, but not as good.

Now I wait for Lexus and BMW event

I'm going to whatever is in NY. I'll be trying to get as many tshirts as possible. Last time I tried to get the whole box, but they caught me. I did nab some sodas though.

Not really in it for the test drives, feels too much like going to work. .
