Drive the F430, the Gallardo, or ...
On one hand, this seems like a sweet opportunity to tool around in some exotics. On the other hand, it seems like an opportunity to piss away ten Benjamins - and that buys a lot of DE time.
WCD [http://www.wcdriving.com/start.php] offeres the opportunity to get 20 to 30 minutes of drive time in up to 6 of the following cars: FERRARI F430, LAMBORGHINI GALLARDO, BENTLEY GT, FORD GT, ASTON MARTIN DB9 VOLANTE, CORVETTE Z06, FERRARI MODENA SPYDER, MERCEDES SL AMG, PORSCHE TURBO, MASSERATI QUATTROPORTE, BMW M5 AND DODGE VIPER. (sorry for the caps - it was cut-n-paste) What do the Pelicans think?

Spend the money on a thousand dollar suit and try to get dealers to let you test drive the cars. This would bring a challenge into the picture and make the whole thing more rewarding.

The more I think about it, the less I like the economics. 6 cars * 30 minutes = 180 minutes Cost is $1065, or almost $6 per minute.

What do you need the suit for? You don't think celebrities go into dealers with suits to buy a car. Just go to a local Ferrari dealer and ask what their policy is. Tell them you are selling your house in CA in a couple of weeks and looking for some fun to have with your new found wealth.

But I have no interest in NAStCAR - even if it were free.
