In Texas you can "Drive Your Dream"
How cool would it be to drive five of the world's greatest cars all in one day? Nameplates like Ferrari, Aston Martin, Lamborghini and Porsche are all just a short jaunt away for less than the price of a single month's lease payment on any one of them.
DFW Elite Auto in Dallas, TX has put together several opportunities that will allow you to do just that. The 'DFW Drive Your Dream' program has several different levels of fun, starting with the 'Every Mile a Memory' Tour priced at just $489 that puts drivers on the road in five great cars -- the Porsche Boxster Convertible, the 1965 Corvette, the Mercedes SLK 55, the Lotus Elise and the Mercedes SL 500. Packages and vehicles vary up to $989 a day for the '2000 Horses Tour', that puts you behind the wheel of a Lamborghini Gallardo, Ferrari F430, Aston Martin Vantage, Porsche Twin-Turbo 911, and a Corvette Z06.
Christmas is fast approaching and this would be a great gift for the car enthusiast in your life. Short of giving someone one of these cars, the present would definitely qualify you for Best Gift bragging rights indefinitely.

Gotham Dream Cars, in New York, does the same thing. I've done it. It's a great event on some great roads outside of New York City.

You can tell it's a classy operation. The spelling mistakes and grammatical errors on the site are a dead giveaway.

Wow! To think that I spent my youthful days flipping through car magazines and dreaming of throttling down the likes of European supercars like the Lambo Countach and Diablo, a stable of Ferarris (most specifically the TestaRossa & the Spyder), Porsche's road-ready racers, A host of (at the time) Neo-classic American Muscle (GT 500, Hemi 'Cuda, etc.) and countless other pulse quickening carriages, When apparently all my prayers were answer in 1997 when the AutoGods delivered the Porsche Boxster... convertible. (see sarcasm)

Stephen from DFW Elite here. We're working hard to get additional info on website up, as well as correcting those spelling errors.
Our tours are based around some of the best roads in Texas. (If you're a Texan, you know finding an exciting road isn't easy to do.) We’ve spent a lot of time talking to car nuts, motorcycle enthusiasts and the people who organize weekend drives at car clubs. While driving 5 exotics back to back is thrilling no matter how you cut it, being on the right roads adds that much more.
Most of us here are car guys and are really putting our passion into this. We're working hard to make sure this is an experience of a lifetime. If anyone has any feedback, I'd really like to hear it. Shoot me an email at: stephene@dfweliteautorental.com

There's a nice vintage Alfa in there. I nearly owned a '50s Spider. Big regret.

I live in Keller and have been considering renting the Viper or something else nice as a treat for my girlfriend's upcoming birthday. I think the first time I heard about this company was at a small car show at Best Buy in North Richland Hills. The pamphlet was on or near an orange Lotus Elise as I recall (that's why we stopped, because out of the corner of my eye I saw the Elise there and we had to take the exit and check things out). This deal here sounds interesting too...
