GM In Motion at Santa Clara Great America

... just closed down for severe weather conditions. SUCK!

We got to drive ONE run (Chevy Cruze) and got stuck behind some literally crawling at 3 mph. Then stood in line for the Volt and after reaching the front of the line... they shut it down for severe weather conditions.

So don't bother going today, it's shut down. Not sure what will happen tomorrow or Sun.

I got there at 9am and left at 11:30

Got to drive pretty much everything except the cars in areas J and K. Favorite vehicles of the day were the Acura TL, Ford F-250 and the Vette. Sucked they only let you drive the Vette and Camaro once, I went back up for a 3rd run but no luck.

I floored it many times in most of the vehicles. Even broke the Vette loose around a turn and didn't get yelled at.
