Another kind of advanced driving course: Zamboni school!

The Herbert Wells Ice Rink in College Park, Maryland offers 2-day ice-driving classes. But instead of getting on the frozen stuff behind the wheel of any old Bugatti, Bentley, or Saab, the rink puts you in the captain’s chair of a Zamboni Ice Resurfacer. On the first night, you’ll learn the mechanics of the eponymous icing machine, the second night you’ll actually do “cuts,” which is the official term for what a Zamboni driver does with his Zamboni. The best part about it is that the entire class only costs $90 — or $75 if you pay a fortnight in advance. Actually, the best part about it will be telling your friends afterward, “They call me Mr. Zamboni.”
