Anyone heard of Auto Show in Motion?
Flog a 'Vette! Flog an H2! Flog an Aveo!
According to the brochure I got for Auto Show in Motion, you can do all that and more.
"At AutoShow in Motion, you can get behind the wheel of GM's exciting new cars, trucks, and SUVs; then take a spin in our toughest competition including BMW, Lexus, Mercedes-Benz, Dodge, Ford, Toyota and more. Feel the rush of the new 400HP Corvette and experience the rugged power of the HUMMER H2 - all on professionally designed tracks that put the vehicles to the test ..."
Monster Park, Thursday thru Sunday March 17-20.
I got a personalized invitation (why?) but it looks like anyone can register from www.autoshowinmotion.com . Registration appears to require giving up a bunch of information so you can be on a GM mailing list for the rest of your life, but maybe it's worth it. You might even get to try out a Saab 9-2x.
It seems likely that you'd have to sit through hours of droning, insipid GM salesmen for the prievlege of abusing their cars, but hey - they even provide snacks, drinks, and free parking. Maybe we can take our WRXs out on their Hummer course (did you notice how those f*ckers left Subaru off the list of competition above? They know the All New G6 can look good next to a Benz, but not next to a Scooby!).

It's more like a 10 minute long video, and a small talk. It's pretty cool, I went with my friend in Colorado last summer, and he was drifting the GTO around their little auto-x type course, and whatnot. They frown upon driving the cars recklessly, and I heard of several people I know getting kicked out, but it's still a lot of fun. I guess it's a bi-annual thing because I think they had one out here last August.

the best is if you can get into the dealer-only days prior to the ASIM being opened to the public.
this way they will let you flog the cars without getting yelled at
