Cruisin' in the Beamer

Have you ever driven a car that costs over 100k?  You should.  Before today I would have answered that question with "negative."  (That's what I say instead of no.)  Fortunately, today I was able to change my "has driven a super expensive car" status to "affirmative" (You probably already guessed that's what I say instead of yes.)

I make this car look good.

BMW was doing a super awesome promotion where they let normal people drive super expensive cars. And, for everyone that test drives one of these cars they donate $10 to support the Olympics. (Do you see what a giving person I am? I totally supported the Olympics.)

This is a very gadgetudinous car.  Look at all the cool gadgets all over.
The car had all sorts of fancy features.  When I first pushed the button to start the car it just made the steering wheel move up and down.  Luckily, I'm a super genius so I figured it out in under 5 minutes. (Don't make fun. You already know I'm not fancy.) When I backed up the car a fancy little screen came up that showed me all the obstacles behind me.  It had a warning saying that I should not use only that screen to back up, but I totally used only that screen to back up.  (I'm glad I got that off my chest.)

Don't I look so good behind that wheel?
The best part was when I took it on the freeway.  I pushed that gas pedal down and we really felt it get up and go.  It was 0-60 in like 4 seconds.

No, I lied.  That wasn't the best part.  Do you remember the awesome guy that sent me pics of him with a BMW?  I sent him pictures of me in this car.  That was the best part.

  2. I love this idea, I think fancy restaurants should start giving money to the Olympics for allowing me to try some of their gourmet food

  4. LOVE that you sent the BMW guy a pic! Did he respond??

    I had a friend let me drive his Maserati once... I don't know how much it cost, but it was WAY fun to watch everyone else admire the car.

  5. I thought about saying something like "Marissa said you would like this." Since that's who he thought I was married to, but I decided that was a bit much. So I did it with no text, just like he did to me. There was no response. It was a little disappointing.

  7. I totally rode in a porsche a couple weeks ago. It was a little bit of a rocky ride and I wish I had been the one driving so I could shift smoother.
