    Yesterday I was given the opportunity to join GDC (www.Gothamdreamcars.com) for the GDC tour. Although the weather was looking pretty bad in the morning everyone still had positive attitudes and everyone was looking forward to the drive. After everyone chose what car they wanted to take for the first leg I jumped in the Vanquish with Kenny. The Vanquish has an incredible exhaust note unlike any other car I have been in. After a couple legs and getting the chance to ride in most of the cars the rain let up for a little bit at one of the stops. It was the perfect opportunity to jump in the 360 Spider since no one chose it for this part of the drive. We took the top off so I could get some pictures of the cars in action. It is hard enough doing that on a sunny day but in the rain it is a completly different experience. We went back to the Hilton after the drive was over and we were treated to a great lunch. Everyone in the morning group had an absolute blast and they were telling us they would love to do it again. The afternoon group was a bit bigger which was also a lot of fun. Although the rain made the roads wet it didn't dampen the mood of the drivers! At the end of the day everyone was very happy and they were glad they all got the chance to experience these cars thanks to Gotham Dream Cars. So thank you Kenny for inviting me to attend this amazing event :) You have no idea how much I appreciate it and how much fun I had. I also have to thank Noah, Rob, Danny, Matt, Matty, Diana, and the rest of the GDC staff for running great events like this and having the best exotic car rental company in the business!! BTW my 2 favorite cars to ride in yesterday was probably the Porsche 996 Turbo and the Bentley CGT. To my suprise the Bentley was a LOT faster then I ever expected. All the other cars were also amazing but I have riden in almost all of the other cars at other times so the Porsche and Bentley were a first for me. Stay tuned for pics!!

    Jason; speaking on behalf of ALL of the GDC staff (yes, even Rob), it was a pleasure having you join us today.. It's scary how much you remind me of myself when I was your age- minus the talent in taking pictures. Can't wait to see them!

    Boy do I have a great story for you..

    Jason,

    Sorry I missed you on the tour. I got there right before the "incident". Oh, and Kenny's got a lot more "Minuses" than just poor photographic skillz. :p

    As part of the Tour we installed fixed-mount VHF two-way radios in each car. Range is about 6 - 7 miles (in the ups and downs of the local area ... in an open space range is 20+ miles). Radios are 60-watt with very very clear speakers. Changes the whole driving experience!
